Detailed Step-by-Step Instructions
Follow the detailed instructions below with direct links to help you complete each step.
Step 1: Log into Google Account
Go to Google Calendar (click me!) and make sure you are signed in. If you have multiple Google accounts, make sure you're using the one you want your Airbnb bookings to appear on. This is the Google Calendar you'll check on your phone, desktop, or tablet to see upcoming guest check-ins and check-outs.
Step 2: Create New Calendar
Go to Settings → Add Calendar → Create new calendar (click me!).
We recommend creating a dedicated calendar just for your Airbnb bookings rather than using your personal calendar. This keeps your hosting schedule separate and makes it easy to share with cleaning teams, co-hosts, or property managers without exposing your personal events.
- Name: Airbnb (you can change this at anytime)
- Description: SynciCal Airbnb to Google Calendar Sync (you can change this at anytime)
- Time Zone: Your local time zone
Click Create calendar.
Step 3: Share Your Calendar with Our Service Account
Navigate to Calendar settings for the calendar you just created.
Scroll to Share with and click Add people and groups.
Invite our SynciCal service account, which allows us to add and update your Airbnb booking events on your Google Calendar:
syncical-dev@syncical-474106.iam.gserviceaccount.com
Set permissions to: Make changes to events
Your data is secure. Our service account can only access the specific calendar you share — not your personal calendar, emails, or any other Google data. Learn more about our security practices.
Step 4: Get the Calendar ID
Still in the calendar settings, scroll down to the Integrate calendar section.
Copy the Calendar ID — it usually looks like an email address ending in @group.calendar.google.com. You'll need this when signing up for SynciCal in the final step.
Step 5: Open Airbnb Calendar
Now switch to Airbnb. Log in to Airbnb hosting (click me!) and navigate to Calendar.
You'll see all your listings displayed in a multi-calendar view. This is where you'll find your Airbnb iCal link — a unique URL that Airbnb provides for each listing containing your booking data in iCal format.
Step 6: Select Your Listing
Click on the specific listing you want to sync from the left sidebar.
This will open the individual listing's calendar view showing its availability and bookings. If you have multiple Airbnb listings, you'll repeat steps 6–8 for each property you want to sync.
Step 7: Open Availability Settings
In the right sidebar, click on Availability settings.
Scroll down to find the Connect calendars section, then click Connect to another website. This is where Airbnb lets you export your calendar as an iCal feed that other applications can read.
Step 8: Copy Your Airbnb iCal Link
A dialog will appear showing your Airbnb calendar link — this is your iCal URL.
Click the Copy button to copy the iCal URL to your clipboard. This URL is unique to your listing and contains your booking calendar data. Keep it handy for the next step!
Tip: Your Airbnb iCal link typically starts with https://www.airbnb.com/calendar/ical/ and ends with .ics. If you have multiple listings, each one has its own unique iCal URL.
