I have set up a new field in the host form to allow hosts to link to a Google calendar. This can be used to show bookings and availability and may help if you are getting too many requests for places you don't have.

Setting up a Google calendar can seem a little daunting but if you follow these guidelines it can be done in a few minutes. Once set up, it is easy to enter dates.There is an example here.

This is completley optional and is provided for those who need it. If you don't want to set it up, don't worry, nothing will show on your page.

If you have any comments about how this works, please post them here.

Apologies - the link in my first post should work now - I had forgotten to set the permissions on the page.

Just a note - the calendar will only accommodate 3 lines of  'events'. Hope this is enough to make it useful for you. I may be able to increase that limit if you need it.
