I think VRBO shows you the full cost for your visit (not in the nightly rate though!) while AirBnB shows you some subtotal presented as as the total cost, then when you start clicking through you get the "real" total cost. By that point you're already engaged though, so mission accomplished? I don't think I'd ever book a hotel through Airbnb - what's the benefit?

> I don't think I'd ever book a hotel through Airbnb - what's the benefit? Agreed. My usual mode of search is to go to hotels.com or booking.com depending on the destination and find out what's available and to price compare. Then I go to the actual hotel's site to book the reservation. I'll end up paying the same rate either way but having a direct booking reduces the chances of there being a problem down the line since there's no third party to shift blame or act as the middleman in resolving the issue.
