iCal Integration with Booking.com, Airbnb and Other Systems – Say Goodbye to Overbooking
If you run an accommodation property and use multiple booking platforms at the same time, you know how easily calendar chaos can arise. Booking.com, Airbnb, phone inquiries, bookings from your own website… and on top of that, manually keeping track of availability. One small mistake is all it takes to end up with overbooking.
That’s exactly why at Booqly we created a full iCal integration that automatically synchronizes reservations across all the systems you use.
What is iCal and how does calendar synchronization work?
iCal is a calendar data exchange standard used by the world’s largest booking platforms, such as Booking.com, Airbnb, and Vrbo. It enables automatic sharing of reservation information between different systems.
In practice, this means that:
- a reservation added on Booking.com automatically blocks the date in your system,
- a booking from Airbnb appears in the Booqly calendar without any manual action,
- dates booked directly (by phone, email, or website) can be exported to external platforms.
Everything happens automatically in the background.
Which systems does iCal integration in Booqly support?
Our booking system supports iCal integration with any service that uses this standard. Most commonly, these include:
- Booking.com
- Airbnb
- Vrbo
- PMS systems and channel managers
- other booking platforms offering iCal export
You’re not limited to a single platform – you can connect as many calendars as you need.
Import and export of reservations – full control
In Booqly, iCal integration works in two directions:
Reservation import
The system automatically fetches reservations from external calendars and creates them in your dashboard. This gives you a complete overview of all occupied dates in one place.
Reservation export
Reservations added manually or through your own website can be exported to Booking.com or Airbnb, blocking those dates there as well.
The result? One consistent calendar and no double bookings.
Why is iCal synchronization so important?
Lack of calendar synchronization is one of the biggest risks in short-term and holiday rentals. Overbooking means:
- unhappy guests,
- negative reviews,
- financial penalties on booking platforms,
- loss of trust.
With iCal integration in Booqly, you eliminate this problem almost entirely.
