Fewer missed bookings. More peace of mind.

Automated protection for booking calendars

BookingWarden watches the iCal links between Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com and alerts you the moment a booking fails to sync, while there's still time to fix it.

No app to install. No login to your platforms. One text when it breaks, one when it's fixed.

iCal has no error reporting.

A broken, revoked or stale link just stops updating. The platform shows nothing. You find out from a guest.

Platforms import on their own schedule.

Airbnb and Vrbo pull each other's calendars every few hours. A booking in that gap is a double booking waiting to happen.

Channel managers are overkill.

They fix this by replacing everything you do, for a monthly fee per listing. You just need to know when the link breaks.

How it works

Three minutes to set up. Then forget about it.

No app, no login to your platforms, no changes to how you manage bookings. BookingWarden only needs the calendar export links you already use to connect the platforms to each other.

1

Paste your calendar links

The same iCal export URLs from Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com that you pasted into each other's settings. One set per listing.

2

We watch them around the clock

Every few minutes we fetch each feed, compare the calendars against each other, and track how long each platform takes to mirror a booking.

3

You get one text when it breaks

And one when it's fixed. No daily digests, no dashboards to check. Silence means everything is in sync.

What it catches

The three ways a sync fails

Each one is checked on every fetch. Each one has a clear message that says which listing, which platform and which dates.

Booking not mirrored

A reservation on one platform that hasn't shown up as blocked on the others within the expected import window. This is the alert that prevents double bookings.

Double booking

Two paying guests holding the same night on different platforms. You hear within minutes, not at check-in, with the dates and both platforms named.

Feed down

A calendar link that has stopped returning a calendar: revoked, expired, or erroring. Confirmed over several checks so a platform hiccup never wakes you up.

Pricing

Less than one night's cleaning fee. Per year.

One double booking costs a refund, a relocation, a bad review and a weekend. Priced per listing so it scales with you, not against you.

$48 per listing / year

Or $5 per listing, month to month. Either way, never more than $39 a month however many listings you have.

  • Unlimited calendar links per listing
  • Capped at $39 a month for unlimited listings
  • Checks every few minutes, all day, every day
  • SMS and email alerts, with resolution notices
  • Works with any platform that exports iCal

FAQ

Questions hosts ask

Is this a channel manager?

No. A channel manager replaces how you manage listings, pricing and messaging, and takes over the connection between platforms. BookingWarden leaves everything exactly as it is and watches the links you already have.

Do you need my Airbnb or Vrbo login?

No. You paste the calendar export links, the same ones you used to connect the platforms to each other. We never see your account, your guests' details or your payouts.

Which platforms work?

Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com and anything else that exports an iCal link, including Google Calendar and most direct-booking sites.

How fast will I know?

Feeds are checked every few minutes. A dead link is confirmed within about 30 minutes. A booking that hasn't propagated is reported as soon as it has been missing longer than the platform's normal import delay, typically a few hours, well before a conflicting booking can be made.

Will it spam me?

No. Each problem produces one message when it starts and one when it clears. If nothing is wrong, you hear nothing.

Can it fix the sync for me?

No, and nothing can without your platform login. What it does is turn a silent failure into a two-minute fix: re-paste the link in the platform's calendar settings and you're done.
