Introduction
Sharing your Airbnb calendar with your cleaner is a convenient way to ensure that they have access to your property’s availability and can schedule their cleaning services accordingly. By syncing your calendar with your cleaner, you can streamline the communication process and ensure that your property is always clean and ready for the next guest. In this article, we will explore how to share your Airbnb calendar with your cleaner in a few simple steps.
Step 1: Accessing Your Airbnb Calendar
To begin, log in to your Airbnb account and navigate to the “Calendar” tab. Here, you will find an overview of your property’s availability and reservations. Click on the “Availability settings” button to access the calendar settings.
Step 2: Setting Up a Co-host
To share your Airbnb calendar with your cleaner, you can add them as a co-host. A co-host is someone you trust to help manage your listing and handle tasks such as cleaning, maintenance, and guest communication.
To add a co-host, scroll down to the “Co-hosts” section in the calendar settings. Click on the “Add a co-host” button and enter the email address associated with your cleaner’s Airbnb account. Once you’ve entered the email address, click on the “Send invitation” button.
Step 3: Accepting the Invitation
Your cleaner will receive an email invitation to become a co-host for your Airbnb listing. They will need to accept the invitation by clicking on the link provided in the email. If they don’t have an Airbnb account, they will be prompted to create one.
Once your cleaner accepts the invitation, they will have access to your Airbnb calendar and can view the availability of your property.
Step 4: Adjusting Co-host Permissions
By default, co-hosts have full access to your Airbnb calendar and can make changes to availability, pricing, and reservations. However, you can customize their permissions to restrict certain actions if desired.
To adjust co-host permissions, go to the “Co-hosts” section in the calendar settings. Click on the pencil icon next to your cleaner’s name to edit their permissions. You can choose to allow or restrict their ability to manage availability, pricing, and reservations.
Step 5: Syncing with External Calendars
If your cleaner prefers to use a different calendar application, you can also sync your Airbnb calendar with external calendars such as Google Calendar or iCal. This allows your cleaner to view your property’s availability alongside their other appointments and commitments.
To sync your Airbnb calendar with an external calendar, go to the “Sync calendars” section in the calendar settings. Follow the instructions provided to connect your Airbnb calendar with the desired external calendar application.
Conclusion
Sharing your Airbnb calendar with your cleaner is a simple process that can greatly improve the coordination of cleaning services for your property. By adding your cleaner as a co-host or syncing your calendar with their preferred calendar application, you can ensure that they have access to your property’s availability and can schedule their services accordingly. This helps maintain a clean and welcoming space for your guests.
