Calendar Service v2 is a complete rebuild of how Hostify manages your calendar data — pricing, availability, restrictions, and channel synchronization. It replaces the legacy calendar system with a faster, more reliable engine that syncs changes to all connected channels in near real-time.
​

Once activated, Calendar Service v2 powers every calendar operation for your listings: setting prices, blocking dates, managing minimum stays, and pushing updates to Airbnb, Booking.com, and all other connected channels.

Set a base nightly price for any date range directly from the Multi-Calendar or Single Listing Calendar. Prices are stored per day and synced to all channels immediately.
​

Define different prices for each day of the week. For example, set higher rates for Friday and Saturday nights. Weekday pricing is expanded into daily prices and synced automatically.
​

Apply bulk pricing changes across a date range:

Create pricing rules based on how many nights a guest books. Offer discounts for longer stays or add premiums for short ones.

Set a minimum total booking amount per date range. If a reservation's total falls below this threshold — even after LOS discounts — the booking will not be confirmed.

Example: You set a minimum booking value of $300. A guest tries to book 1 night at $150 with no applicable discount — the reservation is rejected because $150 < $300.
​

Link a listing's pricing to another listing. The follower listing automatically mirrors the source listing's prices with an optional markup (fixed amount or percentage). Changes to the source listing propagate automatically.
​

Define seasonal pricing periods with different base rates. Seasons work alongside daily and weekday pricing — the most specific setting takes priority.

The calendar now respects your availability window from the Policies tab. It automatically opens dates between your minimum and maximum advance notice settings.

Availability can be set to 3 states:

When a date is blocked, the calendar shows why:

Define explicit date ranges when a listing is open or closed for bookings, independent of the rolling calendar window.
​

Link availability between listings so that when one listing is booked, another is automatically blocked (and vice versa). This is useful for listings that share physical space — for example, an entire apartment and individual rooms within it.
​

Configure buffer days before and after each reservation for cleaning and turnover. These days are automatically blocked in the calendar.
​

Import and export iCal feeds to sync availability with external platforms. Imported iCal events automatically block dates in the calendar.

Set minimum night requirements per date range. Supports multiple configurations:

Set a maximum number of nights per booking to prevent excessively long reservations.
​

Control which days guests can check in or check out:

Both can be set as defaults on the rate or overridden per date range.
​

When you make any calendar change — price, availability, restriction — the update is pushed to all connected channels within seconds. No more waiting for scheduled sync cycles.
​

Updates from dynamic pricing tools (PriceLabs, Wheelhouse, Beyond, etc.) are processed efficiently through the bulk API. Large batches are split and queued to ensure reliable delivery.
​

Reservations from all channels are automatically synced into the calendar. When a reservation is created, modified, moved, or cancelled, the calendar and all connected channels are updated immediately.
​

Listing details (content, photos, amenities) and channel integration settings are synced to the Calendar Service to ensure consistent data across all platforms.

Calendar Service v2 enables Multi-Unit Rental Types — group identical listings under a single property and manage availability, bookings, and allocation across all units.

Add notes to any date range in the calendar. Notes are visible to your team in the calendar view and help communicate important information about specific dates (maintenance, events, special instructions).

Configure automated pricing rules that adjust rates based on conditions. Auto-pricing rules are managed and synced through the Calendar Service for consistent application across all channels.

When Calendar Service v2 is activated for your account:

The migration runs in the background and typically completes within a few minutes. During migration, your calendar remains fully operational.

Will my existing calendar data be preserved?
Yes. All pricing, availability, restrictions, reservations, and channel settings are automatically migrated.
​

Do I need to reconfigure my channels?
No. Channel integrations are transferred automatically. Updates will start flowing through the new system immediately after migration.
​

Can I use Calendar Service v2 for some listings but not others?
During migration, listings are converted progressively. Once your account is fully migrated, all listings use Calendar Service v2.
​

How fast are channel updates?
Changes typically reach channels within seconds. Bulk updates from pricing tools are queued and processed efficiently.
​

Is the Activity Log available with Calendar Service v2?
Yes. Calendar Service v2 includes a comprehensive Activity Log that tracks all calendar changes, channel sync status, and errors. See the Activity Log article for details.
