Connect Your One-off Schedule to Airbnb in iCal format

Updated over 3 months ago

It is possible to synchronise the availabilities entered inelloha with your Airbnb account if you have at least a Connect subscription.

IMPORTANT: before synchronising, make sure that your Airbnb calendar is up to date (no stock at 0 as elloha only considers Airbnb reservation files as unavailable). elloha only addresses unavailable properties.

Airbnb has changed its iCal and as a result, bookings exported to elloha now only include the last 4 digits of the customer's telephone number and the title of the service booked. The traveller's name and email address @guest.airbnb.com are no longer sent.

  • Each time you modify your availability in elloha, your Airbnb schedule will be automatically updated without any additional operations,

  • Each time Airbnb records a reservation on your account, it will automatically be reflected in yourelloha account,

  • Your schedules and booking records will be updated at regular intervals defined by Airbnb.

Please note that you can synchronise all your rooms if you have decided to rent them out separately on Airbnb.

To do this, you will need to set up as many synchronisations as you have rooms.

Below is the procedure for synchronising your offers between your Airbnb account and your elloha account:

  • Retrieve the iCalendar file from your Airbnb account and import it into elloha,

  • Go to the calendar import page in your Airbnb account ( Menu tab then Ad),

  • Click on Export Calendar

  • Copy the iCalendar link provided by Airbnb

  • Log in to yourelloha account,

  • Select Sales Channels in the Main Menu

  • In the Large Channels sub-menu, in the Airbnb block, click on Configure synchronisation

  • Thenselect the room you wish to synchronise with Airbnb

  • Paste the link provided by Airbnb into the Receive bookings from Airbnb window in yourelloha account, then click on the diskette to confirm your action (blue button)

  • Once your link has been inserted, copy the synchronisation link from elloha to Airbnb in the Communicate outgoing elloha stock to Airbnb window

Now all you have to do is paste the synchronisation link you've just copied from elloha into Airbnb.

  • In Airbnb, click on the Import calendar link:

  • Finally, paste the URL address supplied by elloha into the window displayed by Airbnb and give your calendar a name (name: elloha):

Your synchronisation between elloha and Airbnb is now active: it will take place at regular intervals defined by Airbnb.

Please note that Ical synchronisation does not apply to cancellations.

So when a file is cancelled on the Airbnb platform, you will also need to cancel the file on elloha in order to release the stock.

Please note

  • You must have a commercial contract with Airbnb

  • Commissions and financial relations between Airbnb and you will remain managed on your Airbnb extranet
