Afristay iCal link and calendar sync: how to connect it
Afristay supports calendar (iCal) links, so it can share bookings with Airbnb, Booking.com, Agoda and the rest. This is the setup, step by step.
| Afristay re-reads your calendar | on its own schedule |
|---|---|
| Its calendar link carries | booked dates (+ a booking reference where shown) |
| Official help | afristay.freshdesk.com |
New: Afristay publishes official calendar-sync instructions, and Axorooms supports it, but we haven't yet verified a live calendar from it ourselves. If anything looks different from the steps below, tell us at support@axorooms.com.
1. Copy your Afristay calendar link into Axorooms
- Sign in to afristay.com.
- Open Listings → Availability Calendar → pick the room.
- Choose Copy to Clipboard and copy the calendar link (it usually ends in
.ics). - Paste it into Axorooms and press Connect — we check the link right away and show how many bookings we found.
2. Paste your Axorooms link into Afristay
- In Axorooms, copy this listing's Axorooms calendar link.
- Back in afristay.com, in the same calendar area, choose Sync iCal Calendar.
- Paste the Axorooms link and name it Axorooms.
- Afristay re-reads it on its own schedule — bookings from your other channels then show as closed dates there.
What to expect
Calendar links are never instant: each site reads the others on its own schedule. A night booked on Afristay closes everywhere else once those sites next read their link, and a night booked elsewhere closes on Afristay on its own schedule. To keep double bookings rare, read how often each site syncs and why double bookings happen.
