How to Use Calendar Management
Block dates, sync with other platforms, and avoid double bookings with simple calendar tools.
Block Unavailable Dates
Open your calendar in admin and mark nights you cannot host — personal use, maintenance, or bookings from another site. Saved blocked dates will not accept new reservations.
How Date Blocking Works
Blocked nights show as unavailable to guests. Bookings made on TrueBookings block those dates automatically. Import iCal feeds if you also list on Airbnb, Booking.com, or Vrbo.
Set Minimum Stay Requirements
Require a minimum number of nights so you avoid costly one-night gaps. You can use different minima in high season versus low season.
Configure Cancellation Policies
Choose a policy guests see before they pay. Clear rules reduce disputes when plans change.
Pro Tip: Calendar Optimization
Update TrueBookings as soon as you confirm a booking on another channel. The same dates should be blocked everywhere you list.
Handle Cancellations
When a stay is cancelled, those nights become available again according to your policy. Recheck the calendar so you can accept a new booking or keep them blocked for turnover.
Frequently asked questions
How do I block dates so guests cannot book?
In your calendar, mark those dates as blocked or unavailable. Once saved, the listing will not accept bookings for those nights and double bookings are avoided.
What if I list on several sites?
Update each calendar when you get a booking elsewhere so availability stays in sync. Block the same dates on TrueBookings as soon as you confirm a reservation on another channel.
