However, the most important provider — especially when it comes to something like vacation rentals — is still missing from Google Hotel search results:Airbnb.
The new vacation properties results in Google Hotels are available now on the mobile platform, accessible by visitinggoogle.com/hotelson your mobile device. you’re able to see a search in action in the GIF below:
Google says the new vacation properties features will come “in the next month” to the desktop browser version of Google Hotels.
You can see and book vacation rentals from a variety of partners including Expedia, HomeAway, Hotels.com, RedAwning, Rentals United, TripAdvisor, VRBO and more. However, Airbnb results still won’t appear.
