Sync your Airbnb and Booking calendar: the complete guide

The double booking problem

When you list on multiple platforms, the #1 risk is double booking: two guests book the same dates on different platforms.

The solution: iCal

iCal (ICS) is a universal calendar sharing format supported by Airbnb, Booking.com, and CapDirect.

How to connect your calendars

1. Export your Airbnb calendar — Go to Calendar > Availability > Export. Copy the iCal URL.

2. Import into CapDirect — Paste the iCal URL in your property settings. It syncs automatically every 3 hours.

3. Repeat for Booking.com

Result

Your CapDirect mini site shows real-time combined availability. Zero risk of double booking.
