What is a VRP vacation rental?
A VRP vacation rental is a holiday home whose host runs its own booking site on its own domain and publishes stay offers signed by that domain under the Vacation Rental Protocol (VRP). Any guest or AI agent can check, over plain HTTPS, that the price, the dates and the conditions come from the host — with no listing site, catalog or connector in between.
HemmaBo is software that makes a host's home a VRP vacation rental: the booking site on the host's own domain, the signed stay offers, and payment straight to the host.
