Put your House in Order
If you are in the business of holiday property rentals, then good coordination and organisation are vital. To achieve this, it’s important to make use of the best tools you can. Perhaps one of the most crucial tools for managing your property is a booking calendar. Kalkan Owners Direct provides an easy-to-use online availability calendar which you can access any time via pc, laptop, or smart phone.

Advantages of our Online Availability Calendar
As a host you have lots of things to consider when renting out your property. There are maintenance concerns, regular advertising and social media updates. You have to deal with reservation requests, and of course provide service and assistance to guests during their stay. It takes a lot of effort so minimising your tasks is going to help. Let’s see how using a centralised calendar can reduce your workload:
Save Time

Probably the key advantage to having a centralised availability calendar is the fact that it saves a great deal of time and effort. From our experience we know many owners who advertise on various platforms and with multiple agents. This inevitably means there are lots of people and systems to update when there are changes to your property’s availability calendar. This can be both time consuming and stressful. Especially if you are receiving numerous requests for similar dates. Having one calendar to update instead of multiple calendars and agents is really going to reduce your workload.
Keep Everyone Updated

Having a main calendar that can be shared with your maintenance team, potential renters and agents alike will help protect you from mistakes such as double bookings or missed sales opportunities.
Manage Online Availability in One Go
When it comes to OTA’s such as Airbnb, TripAdvisor or Booking.com a centralised calendar is great. It will save you the effort of having to manually sign into many accounts and update your listing calendar. You can synchronise the calendars from Airbnb, TripAdvisor, Booking.com or any other channel that supports iCal with your centralised calendar. So if you receive a booking the dates are automatically updated for you.
Provide Accurate Information to Guests

By utilising a centralised calendar your potential guests will be supplied by up-to-date information about availability. There is nothing more frustrating for both parties, (guests and hosts) when an enquiry is made that cannot be fulfilled because the dates are not available. You can use your Kalkan Owners Direct property page link to share on social media and potential guests will instantly see which dates are available to book. This again saves wasted time and energy on requests that will not result in a booking. It also helps to keep your property score high on online sites such as Airbnb and VRBO as you avoid declining requests.
