The calendar displays the availability settings in your Guesty For Hosts listing's Advance Notice and Availability Window. To understand why dates are blocked in your calendar, see information here.
If you are not sure why dates are open in your calendar, it is most likely due to one of the following scenarios:
- If you have an ical link in your listing in Airbnb that is still connected after you've synced Airbnb to Guesty For Hosts, this may create calendar availability discrepancies. You need to disconnect the ical in Airbnb. Learn more.
- The availability settings in a connected smart pricing tool are overriding changes you make in Guesty For Hosts.
- Example: Advance notice is set to 2 days in your smart pricing tool. You change the advance notice setting in Guesty For Hosts to 3 days. Once the pricing tool syncs again, advance notice will revert back to 2 days in the calendar.
- Solution: Review your smart pricing tool settings to make sure they align with your settings in Guesty For Hosts.
-
Existing reservations were included in a bulk calendar change.

-
