There are 2 ways to synchronize Airbnb and Stayz calendars. The first one is by exchanging ical files through the 2 channels, and the other one is by using a channel manager like Hosthub.
Let’s see both options extensively:
✔️ Exchange ical
The process is easy and free of charge. The only downside is that the synchronization through direct ical has 2-4 hour delays at a minimum. That means a high possibility to have double bookings.
Here’s a step-by-step guide:
1️⃣ Copy ical URL from Airbnb
Login to Airbnb -> Switch to hosting -> Listings -> Select the listing that you want -> Pricing and availability -> Scroll until the section “Calendar Sync” -> Export Calendar -> Copy URL
2️⃣ Paste it on Stayz
Login to Stayz -> Owner Dashoboard -> Calendar -> Import & export -> Manage imported calendars -> Import a Calendar -> Paste URL
3️⃣ Copy ical URL from Stayz
Login to Stayz -> Owner Dashboard -> Calendar -> Import & export -> Export Calendar -> Copy URL
4️⃣ Paste it on Airbnb
Login tο Airbnb-> Switch to hosting -> Calendar -> Select property -> Availability settings -> Scroll until the section “Calendar Sync” -> Import calendar -> Paste URL
✔️ Use a channel manager
If you have a lot of bookings or you manage a lot of channels, the best solution is to use a channel manager like Hosthub. Hosthub will update all your availability and rates in real-time even if you have less than 5 properties. Our Channel Manager features include expense management, charts & reports, 24/7 support, automated messaging, unlimited active channels, and much more.
