# How to sync HBook with Holidu.com?

> [!INFO]
> Holidu is the main platform that manages all connections and calendar synchronisations. Depending on your country, you might be using one of Holidu’s partner websites, such as [CybEvasion](https://www.cybevasion.fr/) for France, [Clubrural](https://www.clubrural.com/) or [Spain Holiday](https://www.spain-holiday.com/) for Spain, [Ferienwohnungen.de](http://Ferienwohnungen.de), [FincaMallorca.de](http://FincaMallorca.de), [Lohospo.de](http://Lohospo.de) for Germany…

**Step by step to sync with** [**Holidu.com**](https://www.holidu.com/?locale=en-US) **both ways:**

1. In **HBook > iCal sync**, click on “Get URL” and copy the URL given by HBook for that accommodation.
2. Once logged in to [Holidu.com](https://www.holidu.com/?locale=en-US) **> Properties,** in the configuration panel, find the **iCal & synchronization** section. Click on the “Configure” button. From the pop-up window, select “Other” from the list, then paste the HBook URL and enter a calendar name.

4. Back to **HBook > iCal sync** page, click on “New calendar”, enter a name for it (“Apartment 101 Holidu” for example), paste the URL and click on “Add”.

We highly recommend the following setting for the synchronization to work properly:

- in **HBook > iCal sync > Import settings**, set “Exclude blocked dates from the import” to “Yes”.
- in **HBook > iCal sync > Export settings**, set “Include blocked dates in the export” to “Yes”.
- if you have any date that you need to block (for example, for painting work), please do so from **HBook > Reservations > Block accommodation**.
