Google Calendar syncs with Airbnb through your Airbnb calendar feed, which you paste into Google Calendar as a subscription

Airbnb does not have a built-in two-way sync with Google Calendar. Instead, you add your Airbnb calendar to Google Calendar as a read-only subscription — your bookings appear in Google Calendar automatically, but changes you make in Google Calendar do not flow back to Airbnb. This is a one-direction connection, and it works through a calendar feed URL that Airbnb generates for you.

The process takes about five minutes. You will need your Airbnb account open and access to Google Calendar on a computer or phone. Mobile apps have different menus, so a computer browser is simpler for the first setup.

Key Takeaways

  • Airbnb bookings sync into Google Calendar as a read-only subscription, so your reservations appear automatically but you cannot edit them from Google Calendar.
  • You generate a calendar feed URL in Airbnb's account settings under Calendar, then paste that URL into Google Calendar as a subscription.
  • The sync is one-direction only — changes in Google Calendar do not update Airbnb, so always edit bookings directly in the Airbnb app or website.
  • Once synced, your Airbnb events appear in Google Calendar with the guest name, check-in date, and booking status, and update automatically when reservations change.

Find your Airbnb calendar feed URL

Log into your Airbnb account on a computer. Click the profile icon in the top right corner and select Account. From the left menu, click Calendar. You will see a section labeled "Calendar Feed" with a long URL that starts with https://www.airbnb.com/calendar/ical/ followed by numbers and letters.

Click the copy icon next to the URL or select all the text and copy it manually. Do not share this URL with anyone — it is unique to your account and gives access to your booking information. Keep it private the same way you would keep your password private.

Add the feed to Google Calendar

Open Google Calendar in a new tab or window. On the left side under "Other calendars," click the plus icon (+) next to "Other calendars." A menu will appear. Select Subscribe to calendar.

Paste the Airbnb calendar feed URL into the text box that appears. Click Subscribe. Google Calendar will process the feed and add it to your calendar list. The calendar will appear under "Other calendars" with the name "Airbnb" or a similar label.

What you will see after syncing

Your Airbnb bookings now appear in Google Calendar as events. Each event shows the guest's name, the check-in and check-out dates, and the booking status (confirmed, pending, or cancelled). The events update automatically when a guest books, cancels, or modifies their reservation — you do not have to refresh or re-sync manually.

The Airbnb events appear in a different color from your personal calendar events, making it straightforward to see your bookings at a glance. You can click on an event to see more details, but you cannot edit the event from Google Calendar. Any changes to the booking must be made in the Airbnb app or website.

Syncing on your phone

If you use Google Calendar on your phone, the Airbnb calendar syncs automatically once you have added the feed on a computer. Open the Google Calendar app, and your Airbnb bookings will appear alongside your other events. The mobile app does not let you add a calendar feed directly, so you must use a computer for the initial setup.

On iPhone, the Airbnb calendar may also sync to the native Apple Calendar app if you have linked your Google account. On Android, the sync depends on how your phone is configured. If the events do not appear on your phone after 24 hours, try signing out of Google Calendar and signing back in.

Removing the Airbnb calendar if you no longer need it

If you want to stop seeing Airbnb bookings in Google Calendar, click the three-dot menu next to "Airbnb" under "Other calendars" and select Unsubscribe. The calendar will be removed from your view. This does not affect your Airbnb account — your bookings remain in Airbnb, and you can re-add the calendar feed at any time.

Removing the calendar from Google Calendar does not delete any bookings or reservations. It only hides the events from your Google Calendar view.

Troubleshooting: Calendar not updating or events not appearing

If your Airbnb bookings do not appear in Google Calendar after you subscribe, wait 24 hours — Google Calendar can take up to a day to pull the first batch of events from a new feed. If events still do not appear, check that you copied the entire calendar feed URL correctly and that you pasted it into the "Subscribe to calendar" field, not into a regular event.

If events appear but stop updating when you make changes in Airbnb, this is normal — the sync may take several hours to refresh. You can also try unsubscribing and re-subscribing to the calendar feed to force an when ready refresh. If the feed URL has changed (Airbnb occasionally updates these), generate a new URL from your Airbnb Calendar settings and subscribe to that instead.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I edit an Airbnb booking directly from Google Calendar?

No. The Airbnb calendar in Google Calendar is read-only, so you cannot edit, cancel, or modify bookings from Google Calendar. All changes must be made in the Airbnb app or website. Google Calendar shows your bookings but does not control them.

Will changes I make in Airbnb show up in Google Calendar?

Yes, but with a delay. When you accept, decline, or modify a booking in Airbnb, the change syncs to Google Calendar within a few hours. You do not have to do anything — the sync happens automatically.

What if I have multiple Airbnb listings?

Each Airbnb listing has its own calendar feed URL. You can add multiple feeds to Google Calendar by repeating the process for each listing. Each feed will appear as a separate calendar in your Google Calendar, so you can see all your properties in one place.

Is my booking information safe if I share the calendar feed URL?

No. The calendar feed URL contains your booking information and should be treated as a password. Do not share it in emails, messages, or public places. If you think the URL has been shared, you can regenerate it in your Airbnb Calendar settings, which will invalidate the old URL.

Can I sync Airbnb to Outlook or Apple Calendar instead of Google Calendar?

Yes. Outlook and Apple Calendar both support calendar feed subscriptions. The process is similar — copy your Airbnb calendar feed URL and paste it into the "Subscribe to calendar" or "Add calendar" option in those apps. The steps vary slightly by app, but the feed URL works the same way across all calendar services.
