What syncs with Airbnb with full connection: manage everything from Avantio

With full synchronization, your listing is 100% controlled from the VRMS. You gain efficiency, avoid errors, and keep your content always updated.

When you choose the full connection with Airbnb from the Channel Manager, you are opting to centralize all management of your listing: from rates and availability to descriptions, photos, or extra services. This option is ideal for those looking to have maximum control from a single place and minimize duplicate tasks or inconsistencies between platforms.

🔄 What does having full synchronization imply?

With the full connection, all listing information is managed exclusively from the VRMS (Avantio). Any changes you make there will automatically update on Airbnb.

👉 This means you will no longer be able to edit the listing from the Airbnb extranet: the property will be locked for direct modifications on the portal.

✅ Key benefit: Avoid mismatches between platforms. A single point of management = fewer errors and more peace of mind.

✍️ New description synchronization system on Airbnb

Airbnb has improved the way listing descriptions are synced to offer a clearer and more consistent experience for travelers.

What has changed?

Previously, even if you set up customized descriptions in your software (like VRMS), Airbnb could partially replace them with inaccurate automatic translations. This sometimes caused confusion among guests.

Now, the new system ensures that your customized texts are respected according to how they are set up:

If all descriptions are customized, Airbnb will only show those. They will be automatically translated into the guest's language from the listing's default language.
If you have a mix of customized and automatic descriptions, only the ones you have customized will be sent to Airbnb.
If all descriptions are automatic, all will be sent, along with their versions in other available languages.

✅ Recommendation

Review and customize your key descriptions to ensure the guest experience reflects exactly what you want to communicate. Remember that Airbnb will always translate from the listing's default language.

⏱️ Check-in and check-out times: how they sync

Airbnb only allows one check-in time per listing.

If you have set up multiple seasons in the VRMS, only the first one syncs.
The rest of the times will be included in the “Other Rules” section on Airbnb.
They can only be sent in one language.

🕓 Best practices: Our system rounds the times.

"From" is rounded up.
"Until" is rounded down.
Half hours (e.g., 2:30 PM) do not sync.

🧭 Step by step: how to make the most of the full connection

Access the property in the Channel Manager.
Verify that the connection type is full.
Set up all fields from the VRMS: descriptions, services, photos, prices, etc.
Pay special attention to check-in and check-out times and customized descriptions.
Save the changes. The system will take care of the rest.

✅ Quick checklist

Are your descriptions customized?
Are photos updated and in good resolution?
Are rates and calendars set up?
Are extra services defined correctly?
Are check-in and check-out well defined?

🎯 Conclusion

With the full connection, you concentrate all your listing management in Avantio and forget about manually keeping multiple systems synchronized. This option not only saves time but also improves the consistency of the content your future guests see.

Now that you know everything that syncs, make sure to keep your listing as optimized as possible from the VRMS.
