How to share your Airbnb calendar with your cleaner

What I tried, and what I learned

I’ve hosted on Airbnb for five years, and my listing ranks in the top 1% of homes. That wouldn’t be possible without my cleaner. I rely on their reliability, judgment, and care every week.

Throughout my hosting journey I tried four of the five sharing methods, and only one worked for me. What works for you depends on your cleaner and your situation, so I’ll outline each option and offer guidance.

Option 1: Text a screenshot

The simplest way to start, and how I started. It is free, takes a minute, and works on any phone. Sending it by text keeps a personal line open, so you can add notes like an early checkout or a special request, and your cleaner can plan their weeks ahead.

1. 1In the Airbnb app, open Calendar and pick the listing.
2. 2Take a screenshot of the month, and the next one.
3. 3Text it to your cleaner with any notes: early checkouts, late arrivals, special requests.
4. 4Send a new one every time a booking changes.

Option 2: Make your cleaner a co-host

A co-host sees your Airbnb calendar live, so it is always up to date, and every listing they are invited to sits under one login. It is free, and with calendar-only access they can view but not change anything. To set it up, on a computer in Airbnb:

1. 1Click Listings and select the listing.
2. 2Under Listing editor, click Your space.
3. 3Click Co-hosts, then Invite a co-host.
4. 4Add your cleaner’s phone number or email and click Next.
5. 5Choose Calendar access and click Next.
6. 6Add a note if you like, then review and click Send.

My advice is to give each person their own invite, so you can remove anyone later without changing everyone’s access.

Option 3: Share a Google Calendar

A great fit if your cleaner already lives in Google Calendar. It is free and updates on its own. Several calendars can show together in one view. It works on a phone, on the web, and on paper.

The setup needs a computer. The Google Calendar phone app cannot add a calendar from a link. You also need your Airbnb calendar link first: here is how to find it.

Part 1: Add your Airbnb calendar to Google

1. 1Open Google Calendar in a browser on a computer.
2. 2In the left sidebar, click the + next to Other calendars.
3. 3Select From URL.
4. 4Paste your Airbnb calendar link and click Add calendar.
5. 5Repeat for each listing, and for Vrbo or Booking.com.

Part 2: Share it with your cleaner

1. 1In the left sidebar, point at the new calendar and click the three dots.
2. 2Choose Settings and sharing.
3. 3Under Share with specific people, click Add people.
4. 4Enter your cleaner’s email, choose See all event details, and click Send.
5. 5Your cleaner accepts the email invite. If the calendar does not show in their phone app, they open the app’s menu and tick the box next to it.

Option 4: Use a turnover app like Turno

The most complete option, and the right one if you do not have a cleaner yet or run a complex operation. Turno, the biggest, connects to your booking calendars and creates cleaning jobs on its own. It adds photo checklists, in-app payments, and a marketplace of rated cleaners for when you need a new one or a backup. It is free for one property.

1. 1Create a Turno account and add your properties.
2. 2Connect your Airbnb, Vrbo or Booking.com calendars.
3. 3Invite your own cleaner, or search its marketplace for one.
4. 4Your cleaner accepts jobs and completes checklists in the Turno app.

Turno is free for one property, and free for any number if you only use its marketplace cleaners. Prices and fees from Turno’s pricing page and help center, checked September 2026.

Option 5: Share one simple link

This is where I landed. A cleaner-friendly link turns your booking calendars into one page your cleaner opens from a text. No app, no account, no password. It is always current, easy to read, and one link covers the whole team and all your listings. I built SheetDay to do exactly this after the service I used shut down.

1. 1Start a free trial and paste your Airbnb calendar link.
2. 2Add Vrbo or Booking.com links too, if you have them.
3. 3Add property notes, like where the spare linens are.
4. 4Copy your cleaner link and text it to your cleaner.
5. 5Your cleaner saves it to their phone’s home screen or bookmarks it. It works in English or Spanish.

Which one to choose

• One cleaner, bookings rarely change? Screenshots are fine.
• Cleaner already uses Airbnb? Invite them as a co-host.
• Cleaner lives in Google Calendar and you book well ahead? Share a Google Calendar.
• No cleaner yet, or you want checklists and in-app payments? Try Turno.
• A trusted cleaner or team who will not install anything? Share one simple link.

The part no tool replaces

Whatever you choose, keep talking to your cleaner. My operation depends on them, so a clear calendar and an open line of conversation are both essential. The calendar handles the dates. You keep them informed and show your appreciation.
