# Syncing with Airbnb and Booking.com

**Rent out on Airbnb, Booking.com or Vrbo as well as on your own website? Sync the calendars, so a booking on one platform blocks the dates everywhere else. This works with iCal feeds: links to a calendar that other platforms read regularly.**

You need the _Availability_ plan or higher.

## [1. Import the other platform's calendar](#1-import-the-other-platform-s-calendar)

In the other platform, copy the calendar's iCal export link:

- [Airbnb](https://www.airbnb.com/help/article/99)
- [Booking.com](https://partner.booking.com/en-gb/help/rates-availability/extranet-calendar/how-synchronise-your-calendars-across-channels)
- [Vrbo](https://help.vrbo.com/articles/Export-your-reservation-calendar)

Then in Bookingmood:

- Open the unit and go to _Synchronization_.
- Click _Import iCal feed_ and paste the link.

Bookingmood reads the feed every 5 minutes. Bookings from the other platform now block those dates in Bookingmood.

## [2. Export Bookingmood's calendar](#2-export-bookingmood-s-calendar)

- In the unit's _Synchronization_ tab, click _Export iCal feed_ and copy the link.
- Paste it into the calendar import of the other platform, see the [Vrbo instructions](https://help.vrbo.com/articles/How-do-I-import-my-iCal-or-Google-calendar) for example.

The other platform now blocks dates booked in Bookingmood. How often it reads the feed is up to the platform: some check every hour, others a few times a day.

## [3. Repeat for each platform](#3-repeat-for-each-platform)

Import the feed of every platform into Bookingmood, and give every platform Bookingmood's feed. Don't pass one platform's bookings on to another through Bookingmood: sync each platform with Bookingmood directly.

## [Avoid double bookings](#avoid-double-bookings)

- Platforms read feeds with a delay, so a stay can occasionally be booked on two platforms at once. Keep the time between syncs short where the platform allows it.
- On Booking.com, don't change availability directly in its calendar: that overrides the imported availability.
- Check the _Synchronization_ tab now and then. A feed that keeps failing is deactivated, and you get a _Calendar import failures_ notification.

See [iCal synchronization](https://www.bookingmood.com/en-US/docs/synchronization/ical) for all options.
