Double-booking protection
It is every host’s nightmare moment: two families have booked the same night, and one is about to arrive at the door. That is why with apartmentsite, availability comes from a single source — the central calendar. And if something does overlap, the system raises the alarm immediately, instead of letting the conflict surface on arrival day.
One source for availability
Your website’s central calendar knows every direct booking, every block and — via iCal sync — the occupied periods from the platforms. There is no second version of the truth that could drift out of line.
An alarm before it gets expensive
If two bookings overlap, the system speaks up immediately. You learn about the conflict while there is still time to find a solution — not when a guest is standing in the stairwell with suitcases.
Covers every channel
The protection checks direct bookings on your website just like dates coming in via iCal from Booking.com, Airbnb or Vrbo. Blocks for renovation or personal use are part of the check too.
Calm nights in high season
Reliability matters most when a lot gets booked at once. You no longer have to reconcile the calendars yourself — the system keeps watch in the background, around the clock.
Here is how the protection works in the background:
- 01
All dates flow into one place
Direct bookings are created right in your website’s calendar, and the platforms deliver their occupied periods via iCal. One source, one state.
- 02
Every booking is checked
Before your website accepts a booking, the system checks availability. Occupied or blocked days simply cannot be booked in the first place.
- 03
Conflicts trigger an instant alarm
If two dates overlap anyway — say, because a platform polls its calendar with a delay — the system reports the conflict immediately, with both bookings in view.
FAQ
- Can a double booking still happen?
- Honest answer: the risk becomes very small, but not zero. The platforms poll iCal calendars at intervals they set themselves — in that window, something can theoretically overlap. That is exactly what the alarm is for: you learn about the conflict immediately and can react long before arrival day. Without a central calendar, such a conflict would often go unnoticed for days.
- What happens when the system reports a conflict?
- You see both affected bookings side by side in the calendar and decide for yourself how to proceed — for instance, move the guest to another apartment by dragging right in the calendar, or sort out a cancellation with the platform. The system never cancels anything automatically: when it comes to guests and money, you stay in control.
- Does the system also protect blocked periods?
- Yes. Blocks for renovation, personal use or maintenance count like bookings in the check: the days cannot be booked on your website and are reported to the platforms via iCal. If a booking still comes in from there into a blocked period, the system raises the alarm just as it does for two colliding guests.
