Booking calendar

If you receive bookings through multiple channels, like Airbnb and Bookabach, you can import external calendars to your Holiday Houses calendar. You can also export your Holiday Houses calendar to other sites.

It's important to make sure your calendar is up-to-date to avoid double bookings. Importing a calendar makes this super easy – renters can see which dates are or aren't available on your listing.

Blocking out dates

1. Head to your 'My house details' page.
2. Find the property you want to update, then under 'Bookings and enquiries', select 'Booking calendar'.
3. Select 'Update your calendar'.
4. Choose whether you're adding a booking, blocking out dates to prevent a booking, or unblocking dates.
5. Fill out the details, then select 'Save'.

Importing

1. Head to your 'My house details' page and select 'Booking calendar'.
2. Select 'Import calendar'.
   
3. Choose a name for your calendar (this is just for your reference) and enter the calendar's URL.
4. Select 'Import' – you're done!

Once your external calendar has been imported and synced, blocked-out dates from the external calendar are shown in striped grey:

Exporting

1. Get your other calendar ready to import.
2. Head to your 'My house details' page and select 'Booking calendar'.
3. Select 'Export calendar'.
   
4. Copy the link, then paste into your other calendar.

Trouble syncing?

Here are some things to try if your calendar isn't up to date:

1. Check back in 30 minutes – the calendar will have refreshed by then.
2. Select the sync button  next to the imported calendar to force a manual update.
3. Check the external calendar to make sure the booking has gone in properly.
4. Remove the imported calendar, then re-import it.
