Calendar sync (iCal)
One calendar for Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com
Paste the public iCal export URL from each channel and LodgeDeck merges every booking into one turnover schedule, flags same-day changeovers and surfaces the gap nights worth filling. It reads public exports; it does not push availability back to a platform.
How it works
Four steps, no passwords
From three separate platform calendars to one merged schedule you can actually plan turnovers against.
- 1
Copy each public export URL
Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com each publish a read-only iCal (.ics) export link for a listing. Copy the link from each platform's calendar settings.
- 2
Paste them into one property
Add the export URLs to a saved property. LodgeDeck fetches each calendar and reads the booked date ranges out of the .ics feed.
- 3
See one merged turnover schedule
Bookings from every platform are combined into a single timeline, so a double booking or a same-day changeover is obvious at a glance instead of buried in three separate tabs.
- 4
Catch turnovers and gap nights
LodgeDeck flags the days a guest checks out and another checks in (your cleaning turns) and the one or two-night gaps between stays that are easy to leave unsold.
What it does
A read-only merge, done properly
Reads public iCal exports
It ingests the read-only .ics feed each platform already publishes for a listing. No login to Airbnb or Vrbo, no scraping, no password stored.
Merges every channel into one view
Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com bookings for the same property land on a single calendar, so you plan turnovers against the real, combined occupancy.
Refreshes on a schedule
The feeds are re-fetched so a new booking on any channel shows up in the merged view without you copying anything again.
Flags turnovers and gap nights
Same-day checkouts and check-ins become a clear turnover list, and short unsold gaps between stays are surfaced so you can price or block them.
Honest scope: LodgeDeck reads the calendars you paste in. It does not write availability back to Airbnb or Vrbo, and it is not a full property management system. It is the compliance, tax and turnover layer that sits alongside one.
FAQ
Calendar sync questions
Does this log in to my Airbnb or Vrbo account?
No. It uses the public read-only iCal export URL each platform publishes for a listing. You paste that link; LodgeDeck never asks for your Airbnb or Vrbo password and never signs in as you.
Can it block dates or push availability back to the platforms?
No. This is a read-only merge of the calendars you paste in. Writing availability back to Airbnb or Vrbo (channel sync) is not built, and we say so on the pricing page rather than imply it. Not built. We read public iCal exports; we do not push availability back to Airbnb or Vrbo.
Which platforms are supported?
Any platform that publishes a standard iCal (.ics) export, which covers Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com. If a channel gives you an .ics link, LodgeDeck can read it.
What is a gap night?
A short unsold stretch, often one or two nights, between two bookings. Gap nights are easy to miss across three separate calendars and easy to fill once you can see them, which is why the merged view flags them.
How many properties can I sync?
The free plan syncs one saved property. Unlimited saved properties, turnover automation and gap-night detection across calendars are on Pro. See the pricing page.
