Hello.
Booking Calendar plugin is supporting
– import of events via .ics feeds from Google Calendar ( or Airbnb or any other calendar that support .ics format, like iCal application)
– and export bookings to .ics feeds (files), which are possible to import in Google Calendar (or Airbnb, Booking.com, HomeAway, TripAdvisor, VRBO, FlipKey and any other calendar that uses .ics format ).
Please read more about this feature here: https://wpbookingcalendar.com/faq/#sync
Import.
Please check about the configuration of import events from .ics feeds in this FAQ instruction here https://wpbookingcalendar.com/faq/import-ics-feeds/Please note, the import process is working in that case, when some visitor is open your website page with booking import shortcode. So you can configure CRON at your server, for periodically accessing this page with booking import shortcode to start the import process. Or you can insert the import shortcode before booking form shortcode, so firstly the system will start the import process and only then show the booking form, when someone visits your page.
In case if you are having some issue of not ability to import new events, then check this troubleshooting instruction: https://wpbookingcalendar.com/faq/ics-importing-issue/
You can define CRON at your server for periodically access pages with import .ics feeds shortcodes and start import process during specific time-intervals, then check this: https://wpbookingcalendar.com/faq/cron-script/
Export.
Please check about the configuration of export .ics feeds in this FAQ instruction here https://wpbookingcalendar.com/faq/export-ics-feeds/Booking Calendar is generated .ics feed with bookings in real time. But how often some services (like airbnb, or booking.com ) access this .ics feed to import the bookings from Booking Calendar into their own system, does not depend on the Booking Calendar. So in other words, Booking Calendar does not force the import process by third party service, when some booking is created. You need to check with support of this service (like airbnb or booking.com), about how often they can access the .ics feed for making imports.
Hello
OK, we need to show the availability of the rooms and also accept the reservations and when people make a booking from the web the room appears as occupied in Booking.com and backwards. Is it possible and with what plugin? What is the price? Thank you
Hello.
It’s only possible via import /export .ics feeds functionality as in description in my previous comment.
Such import/export functionality available even in the Booking Calendar Free version.
Kind Regards.
What does that mean?
Is booking calendar the one that makes the reservation or do I need some more plugin? I mean if it only works as a calendar or is a woocomerce or bookly plugin necessary? Thank you

Hello.
Booking Calendar its plugin where you can receive bookings at your own website.
We have developed other calendar “Booking Manager” ( https://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/booking-manager/ ) that working natively with Booking Calendar plugin for import /export functionality. It’s also our plugin.
So you can just install Booking Calendar and Booking Manager plugins and follow instruction about import/export bookings from the booking.com or other service.
But for import / export bookings from the booking.com exist restrictions, that explained here: https://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/topic/integrate-with-booking-com/#post-13867251
Kind Regards.
