Managing booking calendars efficiently is essential for vacation rental hosts who use platforms like Airbnb and VRBO. Syncing calendars to HostHive from these platforms is easy and ensures that a service is always scheduled when it needs to be. Here’s a guide on where to find your booking calendar integration links for two of the most popular platforms that we integrate with. However, we can integrate with any ical link - just click support for help if you need it!
Airbnb:
To access your Airbnb calendar integration link, follow these steps:
Log into your Airbnb account and navigate to the Host Dashboard.
Click on Listings and select the property you want to sync.
Under the Availability tab, find the Sync Calendars section.
Select Export Calendar. This will generate an iCal link you can copy and use to import into other platforms like VRBO.
VRBO:
For VRBO, the process is similar:
Log into your VRBO account and head to your Owner Dashboard.
Click on Calendars and select the relevant listing.
Find the Import/Export Calendars option.
Click Export Calendar, and copy the iCal URL provided. You can use this link to sync with platforms such as Airbnb.

While Airbnb and VRBO allow you to sync booking calendars, HostHive helps you schedule service assignments like cleanings, maintenance, and other essential tasks. Once you’ve obtained the calendar links from either Airbnb, VRBO, or your PMS system, integrating them with HostHive ensures your service team stays aligned with guest check-ins and check-outs.
By integrating your booking calendars with HostHive, you can efficiently manage service assignments based on guest stays, ensuring smooth operations and a great experience for your guests.
