Can I also list my room on another hosting site according to Airbnb's terms and conditions?

I'm not sure I want to do that necessarily. But I'm exploring the idea, and thought this is the first question I should ask. I'm very happy with Airbnb, but would welcome more bookings, and exposure. So, does any one else here do that, and/or could point me to what is the Airbnb policy on this.  I'm looking into Trip Advisor, but also do not want any complication in my terms here,  nor in double booking across platforms. Thanks.

@Richann0 It is not a violation of Airbnb's Terms of Service to list on another site like VRBO, HomeAway, FlipKey or TripAdvisor.  Many hosts do it.  The trick is to keep all the calendars in sync.  If you do this, don't use Instant Book since you might not have time to block your Airbnb calendar in time and you don't want to have to cancel since Airbnb penalizes hosts who cancel.  

There are various ways to synchorize calendars, but I will leave it to other hosts more familiar with the process to tell you how to do it. 

 

 

 

 

 

Thank you very much Clare!

And I do welcome any other responses, about syncing calendars successfully, or otherwise related.
