DayletAirbnb & Booking.com Calendar Sync Made Simple
Sync availability across Airbnb and Booking.com using iCal imports plus manual blocks. Keep one source of truth for your multi-channel bookings.
The Double-Booking Problem
Why calendar syncing is critical for multi-channel hosts
iCal Delays Are Real
Airbnb updates connected calendars every 3 hours. Booking.com has similar delays. This creates a window for double bookings between platforms.
Manual Updates Don't Scale
Blocking dates on each platform individually is time-consuming and error-prone. Miss one update and you risk double bookings.
No Single Source of Truth
Without a central calendar, it's unclear which platform has the correct availability. This leads to confusion and missed revenue.
How Dayletus Solves Calendar Sync
Simple workflow for multi-channel availability
Import iCal Feeds
Connect your Airbnb and Booking.com calendars via iCal. Dayletus pulls bookings from both platforms into one master calendar.
Manual Blocks for Instant Updates
When you get a booking on one platform, immediately block those dates in Dayletus. No waiting for iCal to sync (which can take hours).
Export Back to All Channels
Dayletus exports an iCal feed you can import back into Airbnb, Booking.com, and other OTAs. All platforms stay in sync.
Important: Managing Sync Expectations
What you need to know about iCal calendar syncing
iCal is NOT Instant
Airbnb syncs every ~3 hours. Booking.com is similar. There will always be a delay between when a booking happens and when it appears on other calendars.
Manual Blocks Are Your Safety Net
For immediate protection against double bookings, manually block dates in Dayletus right after confirming a booking on any platform.
Use Booking Request Mode
Enable 'request to book' on OTAs instead of instant booking. This gives you time to check availability across all platforms before accepting.
Frequently Asked Questions
How often does Dayletus sync with Airbnb and Booking.com?▼
Dayletus checks iCal feeds every few hours (following Airbnb and Booking.com's update schedules). This is NOT instant. For immediate blocking, use manual date blocks in Dayletus.
Can I still accept bookings directly from Airbnb and Booking.com?▼
Yes! Dayletus imports those bookings via iCal. You continue to accept bookings on OTAs as normal. Dayletus just helps you manage availability centrally.
What if I get a direct booking outside of Airbnb/Booking.com?▼
Add it as a manual booking or blocked dates in Dayletus. This immediately blocks those dates on your exported iCal feed, which syncs to all connected OTAs.
Does this work with other platforms like Vrbo or HomeAway?▼
Yes. Any platform that supports iCal calendar imports/exports will work with Dayletus. Connect as many channels as you need.
How do I minimize the risk of double bookings?▼
Best practices: (1) Use request-to-book instead of instant booking, (2) Manually block dates immediately after confirming bookings, (3) Check Dayletus master calendar before accepting requests.
