How do I sync Airbnb and Booking.com calendars via iCal?

Export the iCal link from Airbnb (Calendar > Availability settings > Export calendar) and from Booking.com (Extranet > Calendar > Sync > Export calendar), then cross-import each link into the other platform.

Is the iCal sync between Airbnb and Booking.com instant?

No. The native iCal sync can take up to 24 hours. BNB Pilot detects conflicts in under 10 minutes and automatically blocks the calendar on both platforms.

Do I need to manually update the iCal link between Airbnb and Booking.com?

No, the iCal link does not change unless you manually regenerate it. Once imported, sync happens automatically at each platform's refresh rate (8-24h). BNB Pilot automates this every 10 minutes.

Truncated URL: missing token or extra space during copy/paste.
Multi-calendar conflicts: several imports can overwrite or duplicate bookings.
