What is an iCal Synchronisation?

iCal synchronisation is a way to keep your holiday rental calendar updated across multiple booking platforms automatically. Instead of manually updating availability on each site separately, iCal connects your calendars so they stay in sync, reducing the risk of double bookings and saving you time.

How iCal Synchronisation Works

iCal uses a standardised calendar format (called .ics files) that allows different booking platforms to share calendar information. When you enable iCal synchronisation on Holidu, your calendar data flows between platforms, ensuring that when a guest books your property on one site, your availability updates on all connected platforms.

Why Use iCal Synchronisation?

• Prevent double bookings: Your guests cannot accidentally book dates that are already reserved on another platform
• Save time: No need to manually update calendars across multiple booking sites
• Stay organised: All your availability information is centralised and consistent
• Improve guest experience: Guests see accurate, up-to-date availability when they search for your property

Which Platforms Can You Sync?

iCal synchronisation works with most major booking platforms, including Airbnb, VRBO, Booking.com, and other calendar services. You can connect your external calendars to Holidu, or export your Holidu calendar to other platforms.
