Reservation Sync prevents you from double bookings

Reservation Sync helps you avoid double bookings and is automatically enabled when Sync is turned on for your property.

How Reservation Sync Works

When a booking is accepted, canceled, or altered, those dates will be blocked/unblocked accordingly for the other listing(s) connected to the property.

Reservation Sync runs for:

  • other listings within the same property (for example, when you receive a booking on Airbnb, Reservation Sync will block your other listings' calendars)

  • listings in a different property that are linked via parent-child

Why Did I Receive a "Reservation Sync Failed" Email?

In rare cases, a booking channel may not be able to accept our update to your calendar on their platform. This can also be the case if another source, such as a non-Hospitable iCal imported to Vrbo, made changes to your calendar.

When a failure first occurs, we will re-attempt to update your calendar a few times within a short period. If our update still fails to be accepted, we will email you to let you know that the sync attempt has failed and you should verify your calendar. If desired, you can import your property iCal to Vrbo as a backup to Reservation Sync.

⚠️ Limitations

We cannot push calendar updates (including Reservation Sync) to your listings/channels with restricted calendars. You can read more about these restrictions here.
