Sync Your Vacation Rental Calendar on Housing Market Portals
Tutorial 58 of 115 · 1 min 15 s
If you also rent your home on another site, the same nights must not be booked twice. This tutorial opens Vacation Rentals in your dashboard and the Calendar sync tab. It shows the calendar link you can add to Airbnb, Booking.com or any calendar that imports iCal, so nights booked here are blocked there too, then pastes the iCal link of your other calendar and clicks Import calendar. The bookings in that calendar are blocked here, marked Imported on the Calendar tab, and when new bookings appear there, you import the link again. The screens show an invented villa and invented example data.
In this tutorial you will learn
- Where Calendar sync is
