Airbnb iCal link shows incorrect dates

Airbnb has shown incorrect dates when pulling in the calendar via ical link to merge with my personal calendar or my cleaners calendar. Every single booking shows a check-in date and a check-out date and the check-out date is incorrect by 1 day in every single booking. So, if a guest booked a stay from October 14 - October 17 on the imported Google calendar it will show that the guest is staying from October 14 - October 16.

 

This has made things very difficult for my cleaners who use this iCal link and also myself. VRBO works perfectly fine (see screenshots) and actually shows the correct dates. However, for some reason, Airbnb cuts one day off the trip length and does not include the actual checkout date in the calendar.

 

I've included screenshots. The first screenshot is VRBO showing the booking being from Oct 11 - Oct 14. Then the second screenshot is my Google calendar also showing that this individual is booked Oct 11-14. All good so far.

The problem is with Airbnb. You will notice that the screenshots below show a guest checking in on the 14th and checkout out on the 16th. However, the Google Calendar imported data simply shows "Reserved October 14 - 15" which is absolutely incorrect and extremely frustrating.

Does anyone have a solution to this besides boycotting Airbnb and only using booking platforms that can get simple data transfers correct?

Hey @Mike3279,

 

I’m sorry to hear you’re experiencing issues with your Airbnb calendar. Have you tried disconnecting and reconnecting your calendar sync? I recommend checking out this helpful article from the Resource Center: Sync your Airbnb calendar to other websites.

 

If the issue persists, you can share the feedback here and/or contact Airbnb Support. I hope the issue gets resolved quickly!

 

Best,

Quincy
