What is an iCal synchronisation?

iCal synchronisation is a tool that automatically updates your property's availability across multiple booking platforms. Instead of manually updating your calendar on each platform separately, iCal sync keeps all your calendars connected and synchronized in real-time.

How does iCal synchronisation work?

iCal synchronisation uses a calendar link (iCal URL) to share your availability information between platforms. When you update your calendar on one platform, the changes automatically sync to all connected platforms. This means guests always see accurate, up-to-date availability regardless of where they're booking.

Why should you use iCal synchronisation?

iCal synchronisation offers several key benefits for hosts managing multiple listings:

• Prevents double bookings: Eliminates the risk of accepting bookings for the same dates on different platforms.
• Saves time: Removes the need to manually update availability on each platform individually.
• Ensures accuracy: Guarantees guests see consistent, reliable availability information across all booking sites.
• Reduces administrative work: Automates calendar management, letting you focus on guest experience.

Which platforms can you synchronise?

iCal synchronisation works with most major booking platforms and calendar applications, including Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo, and many others. You can connect your Holidu calendar with any platform that supports iCal import functionality.
