Connect Your Airbnb Calendar to Google Calendar in Three Steps

You can sync your Airbnb calendar to Google Calendar so your bookings appear automatically in the same place you keep your other schedules. Airbnb provides a calendar link that you paste into Google Calendar—the two stay connected after that, and new reservations show up in Google Calendar within minutes of being confirmed on Airbnb.

The process takes about five minutes and requires only your Airbnb listing and a Google account. Once synced, you will see your Airbnb reservations, blocked dates, and pricing calendar all in one Google Calendar view, making it easier to manage your hosting schedule alongside personal events.

Key Takeaways

  • You must be the listing owner or co-host with calendar access to sync your Airbnb calendar to Google Calendar.
  • Airbnb provides a unique calendar link in your listing settings that you copy and paste into Google Calendar—no app installation or login required.
  • The sync is one-way: changes on Airbnb appear in Google Calendar, but changes in Google Calendar do not affect your Airbnb listing.
  • New bookings and cancellations on Airbnb typically appear in Google Calendar within a few minutes of confirmation.
  • You can sync multiple Airbnb listings to the same Google Calendar by repeating the process for each listing's unique calendar link.

Find Your Airbnb Calendar Link

Log into your Airbnb account and go to your listing. Click Calendar in the left menu, then look for a link icon or settings button—the exact location depends on whether you are using the Airbnb website or mobile app.

On the website, click the three-dot menu or gear icon near the top of the calendar view. Select Calendar Settings or Export Calendar. You will see a long URL that starts with https://www.airbnb.com/calendar/ical/ followed by numbers and letters. This is your unique calendar link. Copy the entire URL—do not edit or shorten it.

If you are using the Airbnb app, tap your listing, then tap Calendar, then tap the settings icon (usually three dots or a gear). Look for an option labeled Export or Calendar Link. The link will appear as a long string of characters. Copy it exactly as shown.

Add the Link to Google Calendar

Open Google Calendar in a web browser (calendar.google.com). On the left side under Other calendars, click the plus sign (+) or the three-dot menu next to that heading. Select Subscribe to calendar.

Paste your Airbnb calendar link into the text box that appears. Do not add anything before or after the link. Click Subscribe. Google Calendar will verify the link and add your Airbnb calendar to your calendar list within a few seconds.

Your Airbnb calendar will now appear as a separate calendar in Google Calendar, usually labeled Airbnb or with your listing name. You can click the eye icon next to it to hide or show it, and you can change its color by clicking the three-dot menu next to the calendar name and selecting Settings.

What You Will See After Syncing

Once synced, your Google Calendar will display all confirmed reservations from your Airbnb listing as events. Each event shows the guest's check-in and check-out dates, and clicking the event will show the reservation details including the guest name and booking confirmation number.

Blocked dates you set on Airbnb will also appear in Google Calendar, usually in a different color so you can tell them apart from bookings. If you change your nightly rate or adjust availability on Airbnb, those changes do not create new events in Google Calendar—only actual bookings and blocks do.

Cancellations on Airbnb will remove the event from Google Calendar, though this may take a few minutes to sync. If a guest cancels a reservation, refresh your Google Calendar view to see the event disappear.

The Sync Works One Way Only

Your Airbnb calendar and Google Calendar are connected in one direction: changes on Airbnb flow to Google Calendar, but changes in Google Calendar do not affect your Airbnb listing. If you accidentally delete an Airbnb reservation event from Google Calendar, the booking remains active on Airbnb—deleting it in Google Calendar does not cancel the guest's stay.

This one-way sync protects your Airbnb listing from accidental changes. You should always make calendar changes directly on Airbnb (accepting or declining bookings, blocking dates, adjusting pricing) rather than trying to manage them through Google Calendar.

Sync Multiple Listings to One Google Calendar

If you manage more than one Airbnb listing, you can add all of them to the same Google Calendar. Repeat the process for each listing: find the calendar link in each listing's settings, then subscribe to each link in Google Calendar using the same steps above.

Each listing will appear as a separate calendar in your Google Calendar list, and you can assign each one a different color to keep them visually distinct. This way you can see all your reservations across all properties in one view, making it easier to spot scheduling conflicts or gaps in your bookings.

Troubleshooting Common Sync Problems

The calendar link does not work. Make sure you copied the entire URL without adding spaces or line breaks. If the link still fails, log out of Airbnb and back in, then try copying the link again. Calendar links can occasionally expire if your listing settings change; if that happens, generate a new link and subscribe to it in Google Calendar.

New bookings are not showing up in Google Calendar. Google Calendar usually syncs within a few minutes, but it can take up to an hour during peak times. Refresh your Google Calendar page or close and reopen the app. If a booking still does not appear after an hour, check that you subscribed to the correct calendar link and that your Airbnb listing is active.

You see duplicate events. This happens if you subscribe to the same Airbnb calendar link twice. Go to your Google Calendar settings, find the duplicate calendar in your list, click the three-dot menu next to it, and select Unsubscribe. Keep only one copy of each Airbnb calendar.

You want to stop syncing. Open Google Calendar, find the Airbnb calendar in your calendar list on the left, click the three-dot menu next to it, and select Unsubscribe. The calendar will disappear from your view, but your Airbnb listing and bookings remain unchanged.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I sync my Airbnb calendar to Google Calendar on my phone?

Yes. Open the Google Calendar app on your phone, tap the menu icon (three horizontal lines), scroll to Settings, tap Add calendar, then select Subscribe to calendar. Paste your Airbnb calendar link and tap Subscribe. The process is the same on iPhone and Android.

What if I have a co-host—can they see the synced calendar too?

Your co-host can sync the same Airbnb calendar link to their own Google Calendar. They will see the same bookings and blocked dates you do. The calendar link is specific to the listing, not to your account, so anyone with the link can subscribe to it.

Do I need to sync my calendar if I use Airbnb's mobile app?

No. The Airbnb app has a built-in calendar view, so you can see your bookings there without syncing to Google Calendar. Syncing is useful if you want to see Airbnb reservations alongside your personal schedule, work calendar, or other commitments in one place.

Will syncing my Airbnb calendar to Google Calendar affect my Airbnb availability settings?

No. Syncing only displays your calendar in Google Calendar—it does not change how Airbnb manages your availability, pricing, or booking rules. All availability and blocking decisions are still made on Airbnb itself.

Can I edit reservation details in Google Calendar?

No. Google Calendar shows your Airbnb events as read-only, meaning you can view them but not edit them. To change reservation details, respond to guest messages, or adjust your calendar, you must use Airbnb directly.
