MotelEasy automatically imports reservations from your OTA iCal feeds every 15 minutes. No more logging into multiple sites to copy bookings by hand.
If you list on Booking.com, Expedia, or Airbnb, you already know the routine: a new booking arrives, you log into the OTA, find the details, then open your property management system and enter everything again. At two or three bookings a day that feels manageable. At ten or fifteen it becomes a real job.
The manual entry approach also introduces errors. A reservation entered with the wrong dates, or simply missed because the email notification went to spam, can leave a guest without a room — which costs you far more than the booking was worth.
Every major OTA — Booking.com, Expedia, Airbnb, VRBO — provides a standard iCal export link for each listing. Paste that link into MotelEasy once and the system polls it every 15 minutes. When a new booking appears in the feed, MotelEasy creates the reservation record automatically, tagged with the source so you always know where a booking originated.
All imported reservations sit alongside your direct bookings and walk-ins on the same calendar. One view, every booking, no switching tabs.
Note: iCal is a one-way, read-only import. MotelEasy reads bookings from the OTA; changes made in MotelEasy (such as adding a reservation) are not pushed back to the OTA. To update availability on an OTA, log in to the OTA extranet directly. For full bidirectional connectivity, OTAs offer their own API programs for qualified partners.
Pull in reservations from Booking.com, Expedia, Airbnb, and VRBO automatically — no manual copying between systems.
Direct bookings, walk-ins, and OTA-imported reservations all appear on one color-coded calendar.
Paste the iCal link from any OTA and MotelEasy checks for new bookings every 15 minutes.
See which reservations came from Booking.com, Expedia, or your direct booking link — all on the same dashboard.
Track how many bookings each OTA channel contributes so you can make informed decisions about where to list.
Stop paying a separate bill for OTA import software. iCal syncing is built directly into MotelEasy at no added cost.
Log into your OTA extranet (Booking.com, Expedia, Airbnb) and copy the iCal export URL for your listing.
Go to Settings → OTA Connections, paste the link, and choose which room type the bookings map to.
MotelEasy polls the feed every 15 minutes. New OTA reservations appear in your calendar with no manual entry.
Connect your Booking.com and Expedia listings once and let MotelEasy keep your calendar up to date — OTA sync is included, not a paid add-on.
