Why my calendar does not sync with booking.com

Why my calendar does not sync with booking.com
This is very bad. I noticed it today. Yesterday it was wrong. What if the reservations are duplicated? I tried many times to synchronize my calendar but nothing is happening!
Please correct this problem.

It seems to be a global problem with Airbnb syncing booking.com calendar. I contacted support and they replied: "We have some technical problems with synchronization right now".

 

I suspect there are many hosts who still haven't found out. Unfortunately, this will result in many overlapping bookings since many of us are using this feature to sync calendars.

 

@Airbnb2 please treat this as urgent and I would suggest you sent a ticket notification to every host...

 

Hope this helps

When all of my Booking.com bookings dropped out of my Airbnb calendar, despite everything supposedly being synced - Airbnb told me it was a Booking.com technical fault and nothing to do with them!!!!  

They didn't send a notification, and I ended up with two bookings on Airbnb that clashed with prior bookings made on Booking.com and have had to cancel them.

And worse still, Airbnb won't clear them from my calendar, so that I have some free dates that I cannot change to show as AVAILABLE on either calendar. 

And Airbnb are not replying.  Aargh - what's the point in being a 4.9 average, SuperHost, if you get this treatment from Airbnb?  I am sooooo frustrated

None of you know how to use the search button? There are many threads already open about this, and already answered.

The problem is with Booking.com, not AirBNB, so take your anger to Booking.com this time.

It started working for me. Do a manual sync and see if it works for you as well.

It started working for me, do a manual sync and see if it's ok for you as well. No need to delete/reimport the booking.com ics file.

Thanks Zoltan, manually synced booking.com calendars and all good again.

I'm going to resurrect this issue, as I found this page after discovering the same issue. I tried manually syncing but its not working, and now after removing the calendar as advised by the Airbnb portal, I can't even add it back - error: We're having trouble syncing this calendar. Try importing it again.

 

This is a huge problem for me, and needs to be rectified asap. I'm sure its an Airbnb issue as I added the same booking.com calendar link to my google calendar, and it works perfectly.
