A last-minute Airbnb booking for Room 2
You're asleep. WStation blocks Room 2, and Booking.com stops selling it too. You see the booking over breakfast.
Availability sync · every platform
Sell every night once — on every platform
Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo, walk-ins and the phone. WStation keeps one master calendar for all of them. When a night sells anywhere, it closes everywhere else, so you never have to tell a guest their room was sold twice.

Booked on one, closed on all
An Airbnb booking blocks the same room on Booking.com. A Booking.com booking blocks it on Airbnb. A booking you take at the desk blocks both. You don't have to do anything.
One master calendar
Every room, every night, every platform on one screen, colour-coded by where each booking came from. You stop checking three tabs before you say yes.
Close everywhere in one tap
A burst pipe, a family wedding, a week off. Shut the dates once in WStation and every platform follows. Reopen them just as easily.
How it works
A booking anywhere closes the room everywhere
You run one calendar, and WStation keeps every platform in line with it, all day and all night.
- 1A guest books on any platformAirbnb at midnight, Booking.com at lunch, a call at the front desk. It doesn't matter where.
- 2WStation blocks the nightsThe booking lands in your master calendar, and that room can't be sold again here.
- 3Every other platform closesThe same nights close on your other channels automatically, around the clock.
- 4You see it confirmedA green tick for each platform once it has caught up, and a warning if one ever falls behind.
Real life
The moments it pays for itself
Double bookings rarely happen on a quiet afternoon. They happen at midnight, in a rush, or when something goes wrong.
A burst pipe in the Garden Suite
Two taps: pick the next two weeks, close everywhere. No more logging in to each platform, and no angry guest arriving to a wet floor.
The whole lodge is booked for a wedding
Close every room for the weekend in one go. Guests who already booked stay booked, and the rest of the dates close on every site.
Your control room
Everything about your availability, on one screen
You can see what is sold, where it sold and whether every platform knows about it, and change any of it in a tap.
- Colour-coded master calendar — your own bookings, Airbnb, Booking.com and other sites, each in its own colour
- Close dates everywhere — pick tonight, a weekend, the next 30 nights or any stretch, for one room or the whole property
- Guests already booked are kept — closing dates only touches the nights that are still open
- Reopen just as fast — pick the nights and open them on every platform again
- Sync monitor — see at a glance which platforms have your latest availability and which are about to catch up
- An alert if a platform stops syncing — you hear about it once, straight away, before it can cost you a booking
- Your whole team sees the same calendar — on every phone, tablet and computer, even with a weak signal
- Refused before it is saved — nobody at your desk can book a night that has already sold somewhere else

Questions
Asked before signing up
Which platforms does it work with?
Airbnb and Booking.com, plus Vrbo, Expedia's holiday rentals and most other booking sites that let you sync a calendar. Your walk-ins, phone bookings and your own booking page are in the same calendar too.
Do I have to hand over my Airbnb or Booking.com password?
No. You never give WStation your logins. You connect each room once from your own account, and you can disconnect it at any time.
How quickly do the other platforms close?
WStation blocks the nights the moment a booking reaches it or you close dates. Each platform then picks up the change on its own refresh schedule, automatically. The sync monitor shows exactly when each one has caught up, so you're never guessing.
Will it change my prices or listing details?
No. Availability sync only opens and closes nights. Your prices, photos, rules and minimum stays stay on each platform as you set them.
Are my guests' details shared between platforms?
No. The other platforms only learn that a room is taken on certain nights. Names, phone numbers and prices never leave WStation.
What happens to guests who already booked when I close dates?
They keep their booking. Closing dates only shuts the nights that are still open, so nobody already booked is affected.
How long does it take to set up?
About two minutes a room. Create your account, add your rooms, and connect each one to its listings. WStation walks you through it.
Is it free?
The full demo is free, with no sign-up and nothing to install. Running your own business on WStation is $25 a month or $240 a year, with a 14-day money-back guarantee. It runs in your browser and on your phone.
