Availability Calendar Widget for Vacation Rentals and Accommodation
A free availability calendar widget lets visitors see which dates are open or blocked without leaving your website. Whether you manage a vacation rental, holiday let, short-term rental, or any other accommodation, the widget syncs automatically with iCal feeds from Airbnb, VRBO, Booking.com, Google Calendar, or any platform that exports ICS files, so your property listing always reflects the latest booking state. The free plan includes one calendar, iCal sync, and a full embed snippet - no credit card required.
Setup takes about 2 minutes. You paste your iCal URL, customize colors and language, copy the embed snippet, and add it to any website builder - WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, Webflow, or plain HTML. It works for single-property hosts and multi-listing vacation rental managers alike.
Why show availability on your accommodation website
Guests who find your vacation rental or holiday accommodation through search or social media expect to check availability immediately. Without a calendar, they leave and book through a platform that charges 15-20% commission. An embedded availability widget keeps them on your property website and makes direct inquiries possible.
- Automatic sync: iCal feeds update availability automatically. No manual date management required.
- Privacy safe: iCal feeds contain blocked date ranges only. No guest names, emails, or personal data is ever shown.
- Responsive design: works across desktop, tablet, and mobile layouts without extra configuration.
- 11 languages: auto-detect the visitor's browser language or force a specific display language per calendar.
- Custom appearance: set background and status colors to match your brand with WCAG-compliant auto-generated tones.
- Dark mode: automatic light/dark theme detection that adapts to the visitor's system preferences.
Feature highlights
- Multiple iCal sources: merge availability from up to 10 platforms into a single calendar view.
- Custom date blocking: manually close dates or ranges for owner stays, maintenance, or seasonal closures with custom labels and colors.
- Status color control: choose your own colors for available, booked, and closed dates so the calendar matches your website design.
- Multi-month view: display 1, 2, 3, or more months at once. Visitors scroll through availability without extra clicks.
