## Frequently Asked Questions

### Why does my calendar events say `Reserved` instead of the guest's name?

AirBnB does not include guest or booking details in the invite. What is included in the `ics` data varies by provider. Calendar `ics` URLs from some 3rd party tools (e.g. Host Tools) do include guest information and will show that rather than `Reserved` in calendar events.

### Where can I find my rental calendar's `ics` URL?

Each provider has slightly different instructions:

- [AirBnB](https://www.airbnb.com/help/article/99)
- [VRBO](https://help.vrbo.com/articles/Export-your-reservation-calendar)
- [Host Tools](https://help.hosttools.com/en/articles/5128627-how-do-i-export-an-ical-link-from-host-tools)
