It may take some time (up to 2 hours) for Hostex to fully sync with your new Vrbo listing&#8217;s calendar, receive all reservation information from Vrbo, and block those on other booking platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2. If you log out of your Vrbo account in Chrome or Vrbo logs you out automatically, you will need to reconnect following the steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3.
