How to Avoid Double Bookings in Your Rental Property

1 Μαρτίου 2026

Why Double Bookings Happen

Double bookings occur when a room gets booked simultaneously on two platforms — e.g., someone books via Airbnb while there's already a reservation on Booking.com.

This creates:

  • Unhappy guests
  • Bad reviews
  • Cancellations with penalties

    • The Solution: iCal Sync

    iCal synchronization connects your Airbnb, Booking.com, and direct booking calendars in one place.

    How it works:

  • Each platform provides an iCal URL
  • RoomLink imports these URLs and syncs bookings every 15 minutes
  • When a room is booked on one platform, it's automatically blocked on the others

    • Step-by-step Setup in RoomLink

  • Go to Rooms → select a room
  • Click Connect iCal
  • Paste the URL from Airbnb or Booking.com
  • Click Save — sync starts immediately

    • Conclusion

    With iCal sync, double bookings become a thing of the past. Start free on RoomLink and connect your calendars in less than 2 minutes.
