2. iCal system<\/h4>\n

If you use an iCal link, you can forward changes from one online calendar to another, simply and for free. This works with many systems, including the calendars from Airbnb and Booking.com. The iCal system ensures that availability information is automatically retrieved every six hours. It is also possible to manually synchronize the data at any time so that you always have an up-to-date calendar.<\/p>\n

3. Choose a Channel Manager<\/h4>\n

Is it possible to book your accommodation through multiple online platforms? Then it is advisable to work with an external channel manager. With a channel manager, you can manage your availability calendar, and the reservations that come in through the various channels, all in one central place. When you work with this system, the calendars of the different channels are continuously synchronized automatically. It is the most efficient and effective way to have an up-to-date calendar, and avoid double bookings!<\/p>\n

We are happy to help you!<\/h4>\n

By utilizing the options described, an up-to-date calendar is feasible for everyone. B&B’s of which the availability turns out not to be correct, are temporarily shown in the search result with B&B’s of which we cannot guarantee the availability, until the calendar is up-to-date again. Are you still having trouble connecting your calendars, or do you have questions about channel managers? Please do not hesitate to contact<\/a> us, we are happy to assist you!<\/p>\n
