Can you report a guest on Vrbo?

Because Vrbo rules for guests are part of the rental agreement, if your guests violate your custom house rules, you can report them to Vrbo and request compensation for any damages or extra fees. You can also cancel their reservation or ask them to leave without offering a refund if the violation is severe or repeated.
