There is almost no difference. There is just no need to add между кем-то after взаимоотношения because the word itself implies it

Взаимоотношения sounds more formal while отношения more colloquial.

Взаимоотношения means отношения между людьми – relationship between people, so the meaning is more specific than in отношения
