There are 2 ways to synchronize Booking and Tripadvisor calendars. The first one is by exchanging ical files through the 2 channels and the other one is by using a channel manager like Hosthub. Let’s see both options extensively:
✔️ Exchange ical
The process is easy and free of charge. The only downside is that the synchronization through direct ical has 2-4 hour delays at minimum. That means a high possibility to have double bookings. Here ‘s a step by step guide:
1️⃣ Copy ical URL from Booking.com
Login to Booking.com -> Prices & Availability -> Scroll down at the end of the page -> Export calendar -> Copy URL
2️⃣ Paste it on Tripadvisor
Login to Tripadvisor-> Calendar -> Import -> Paste URL
3️⃣ Copy ical URL from Tripadvisor
Login to Tripadvisor -> Calendar -> Calendar -> Export -> Copy URL
4️⃣ Paste it on Booking.com
Login στο Booking.com-> Prices & Availability -> Scroll at the end of the page -> Import calendar -> Copy URL
✔️ Use a channel manager
