Bear in mind that the Booking.com interface changes over time, so check their documentation or contact their support if you struggle to find the booking export option. Export options also vary with the type of account and the features you have access to.

The limits of the iCal file

The .iCal file does not carry everything Rentila needs to build a complete booking. Essential items such as the rates, the tenant details and a description are missing. Check the imported data in your account and fill in the gaps so that the booking is correct.

Invoice for a stay

This article explains how the invoice is produced, how to record one or more payments against it, how it reaches your tenants, and how to add your logo and signature to it.
