How Do I Add an iCal Calendar?

Adding an iCal calendar to your account is a breeze. This feature helps you sync your bookings efficiently, ensuring you're always on top of your availability. Follow the steps below to add your iCal calendar:

1. Log into your Holidu Host Account at host.holidu.com/app
