Google Hotels that was quietly launched a few weeks ago has now added vacation rentals to its services.

 

According to the company’s product manager, travel, Pratik Banerji, “You can see and book vacation rentals from a variety of partners including Expedia, HomeAway, Hotels.com, RedAwning, Rentals United, TripAdvisor, VRBO and more. In the hotel search experience, you can surface vacation rental properties — be it a cabin in Lake Tahoe or a beach house in Sydney — by applying the vacation rentals filter or clicking on the vacation rentals tip.”

Users can narrow their search using filters and check the availability of properties. Pratik explained that once users are ready to book they “can click “Book” to complete their transaction on the travel partner’s page. All property information and bookings are provided and done by the travel partner.”
