sync booking calendar

[Velizara1]

Hello, I have a property, which is listed at Booking and there are a lot of reservations during the next months. I can't activate the property without syncing calendars, because I can't manage to block the dates manually. When I go through Sync calendar I copy the url of my calendar at Booking, but it is not working 😕

Thanks for the assistance!

Hello,

no, I didn't succeed and I can't publish my apartment:( The url of my booking calendar is not with .ICS at the end, may be that is the problem. I will try to contact the airbnb customer service, hope that they could help.

Thank you:)!

Hello, no, the calendars are still not synced:/ I have another reservation , which needs to be cancelled..Is it possible at all to sync with booking.com? Or only with other websites?

In Airbnb:

Go to pricing and availability

Down to calendar sync

Choose export calendar

Goto booking.com

Choose calendar and pricing

Sync calendars

Add calendar connection

Paste the link from Airbnb at “your ical link”

Give it a name (e.g. booking )

Continue until the booking link is shown

Copy the booking link

Go back to Airbnb

Choose import calendar

Paste the booking link at the calendar address(URL)
give it a name (e.g. booking)

And you are all set.

It sometimes happens that the links get broken

Then you will have to delete the links and do it all over again

Hi,

I've just added a new listing to AirBnB and want to sync the calendar with another site.  When I go to my calendar, and then the Pricing and Availability tabs, there isn't an option to sync.  Neither import or export, or anywhere to get an .ics link

Could this be because my listing is new?  Does it update after a specific period? 

[Gordon277]

All good now.  It presumably needed some time for AirBnB to activate the function.
