Connect WP Booking System and Airbnb through two-way iCalendar feeds. Accept direct bookings on your website while automatically keeping booked dates aligned across both calendars.
Rated 4.9/5 on WordPress.org by 330+ customersSync your Airbnb availability with your WordPress booking calendar, so you can accept direct bookings on your website without constantly updating dates on multiple platforms.
WP Booking System connects to Airbnb using iCalendar (.ics) import/export. Availability is refreshed automatically (WP Booking System refreshes iCal feeds hourly by default, while Airbnb refreshes connected calendars about every 3 hours), and you can manually refresh whenever you need. For step-by-step setup, follow our Airbnb sync guide.
Syncing your booking calendar with Airbnb using iCalendar feeds offers several advantages for property owners.
iCalendar feeds allow for synchronization between WP Booking System and Airbnb. Whenever a booking is made through either platform, the availability is updated on both systems. This helps prevent double bookings and ensures accurate availability information for potential guests.
Syncing platforms with iCalendar feeds eliminates the need for manual updates. You don't have to manually update the availability on multiple platforms every time a booking is made or a change occurs. This saves you time and effort, allowing you to focus on other aspects of your property management.
By syncing WP Booking System with Airbnb, you can leverage the exposure and user base of Airbnb's platform. Airbnb attracts a large number of potential guests, which can increase your property's visibility and booking opportunities. Syncing ensures that your property is consistently listed and available on Airbnb, enhancing your chances of attracting guests.
Accurate availability information and immediate booking updates contribute to a seamless and positive guest experience. By syncing WP Booking System with Airbnb, you minimize the risk of overbooking or cancellations due to outdated availability data. This reliability helps maintain guest satisfaction and can lead to positive reviews and repeat bookings.

It can be. To get two-way availability sync, export the iCal link from WP Booking System and import it into Airbnb, then export the iCal link from Airbnb and import/sync it into WP Booking System.
It’s not instant “real-time.” Airbnb updates connected calendars on its own schedule (typically every few hours). In WP Booking System, iCal feeds are cached and refreshed hourly by default (you can change the refresh interval), and you can manually refresh iCal data anytime.
Only availability (booked/blocked dates) is synced via iCalendar. Prices and booking restrictions are not synced through iCal.
Yes. iCalendar Sync / Import / Export is included as an extra feature of the Premium version.
Yes. You can add multiple iCalendar feeds (for example, one per listing or platform). If you sync across several platforms, make sure each platform is connected both ways where needed, so availability stays consistent everywhere.
Remove the feed and add it again, then make sure you assign imported events to your “Booked” (or equivalent) legend item in the “Import iCal Events As” setting.
First, manually refresh iCal data from the calendar’s iCal Import/Export page. If you use a caching plugin, exclude the page where your calendar is embedded from caching, otherwise updates may not appear on the front-end right away.
