AI-powered event parsing

Smarter syncing with built-in intelligence

Hospitable reads each inbound iCal feed and converts it into a proper reservation entry, pulling key details like:

Guest name

Reservation code

Stay dates

If guest emails are included, your automations kick in just like any other booking. If not, you can manually add them to unlock automated messaging.

Automatic updates, minimal work

It works quietly in the background

Hospitable checks each feed once every 20 minutes, so new bookings show up automatically, no manual refreshes required. Imported events show up just like manual bookings, and you can edit guest info or financials as needed.

Designed as a fallback, not a primary sync

Know the limits

iCal Import is one-way and slower than API integrations. It doesn’t sync availability or pricing back to the source platform, and syncs aren't instant. For full syncing power, we recommend using our native connections with Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com, and Agoda. But when an API isn’t available, or you're working around cohosting constraints, iCal is a powerful, simple alternative.

Consolidate calendars for hybrid portfolios

Add visibility to cohosted listings where API connections are off-limits
