Syncing Airbnb Calendar and Google Calendar: A Community Help Guide

[Chen20]

Hi! I have an existing Airbnb calendar and google calendar. I followed your steps on how to export so they are sync with each other. 

However, for newly book google calendar is not auto updating so I am manually doing the procedure again.

Please help, thanks

Hello @Chen20. I can only tell you that I haven't seen Airbnb syncing with external calendars working properly for more than a few hours... And you can never rely on when something gets broken or tinkered here at Airbnb.

I deleted my external gmail calendar on the using gmail website.  Then I created a new calendar with the same name.  Then I went through the process from the beginning to import this new calendar into Airbnb.

Then go to Calendar-----availability settings-------calendar sync--------and click the refresh button (next to the trash can on the right).  Even if I don't click the refresh button, it is updating automatically in only a few seconds.  My old calendar was still listed on the right, so I just click the trash can for that.

This was not a problem for me because I only had 1 reservation, but if you have multiple reservations you have to re-enter everything.

On my ical I have two calendars: one is called "Unavailable", this is what I sync with Airbnb.  The other is called "Waterfront Dream" (the name of my property.). This where I put guests' names, and only I can see it.  Hope this helps.

Thanks for your response. So do you mean, it is really not possible to sync the 2 calendars? I mean can do, but manually not auto updating. Thanks again!

I would like to ask if there was anything that you did differently. Like did you first export your Airbnb cal then import it to google.  I did and all my bookings are now in my google cal but when I get a new booking it does not sync on my Google cal. Customer serice does not ahve any way to tell me what to do.
