Syncing your Airbnb calendar with other calendars
If you list your place on other websites, you can prevent multiple guests from booking the same dates by syncing your Airbnb calendar with your other calendars. Learn more about updating your Host calendar to address any issues with blocked dates.
Calendar synching
Calendar synching prevents multiple guests from booking the same dates. Also, you can export your Airbnb calendar to your personal calendar (ex: Google, Apple) to find your Airbnb reservations within your personal context. Calendar synching requires one time setup (using iCal links ending in .ICS) and you’ll benefit from the automated updates.
Importing calendars
Your Airbnb calendar automatically resyncs every 3 hours to update availability from calendars that you imported (ex: HomeAway, VRBO). You can also manually refresh each imported calendar to display the latest availability on your Airbnb calendar.
