Airbnb Calendar Suddenly Stopped Syncing With Vrbo November 2023

[Joan2709]

Hi All:

Anyone else notice their Airbnb calendars suddenly stopped syncing with other platforms yesterday? This caused a double booking as Airbnb Calendar stopped syncing with Vrbo. Looks like Airbnb is making software changes to the calendar and/or new Winter Release causing a glitch? Suggest everyone verify your calendars are syncing correctly.

Below is a screen shot of a change I noticed on the Airbnb calendars when trouble-shooting the issue yesterday. This feature was not previously appearing on the Calendar when a date was blocked by an imported calendar. Not sure this has anything to do with the issue. I created a block on Vrbo for a date and this is how it appeared on Airbnb. This is the first time I have seen this?

@Paula , @Breanna , @Bhumika could you forward this to the appropriate team at Airbnb?

Thanks!

Ahaa!!  Thanks for passing that along. I did provide screen shots to Airbnb to troubleshoot. Interestingly, the Vrbo to Airbnb URL Link syncs just fine. Its the Airbnb URL link to Vrbo that isn't working. 

Hmmm....methinks there is some coding/software changes happening at Airbnb? Especially since you said you use a channel manager and aren't experiencing the same problem.  Guess we'll have to wait and see. In the mean time, had to turn off Instant Book to prevent another double booking. Sigh. 😞

Hi  @Lorna170 , @Byron-And-Maggie0 , @Bob297 , @Marc11734 

Looks like calendars are syncing once again. Did some testing and appears both Airbnb & Vrbo are both working. Yay! 

Thanks to @Breanna & @Paula for passing the issue to the appropriate team at Airbnb!
