How to add an availability calendar to your Mozello vacation rental website
A Mozello site can show guests which dates are open, synced from Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com. Mozello's Insert Code button takes JavaScript or HTML in a content section, so the script snippet goes straight in and keeps the calendar sized to its content. Mozello allows iframes as well, so the iframe snippet is the fallback.
Why add a calendar to your Mozello site?
Guests want to know whether your property is available before they click through to a form or send a message. A visible availability calendar shortens that decision path, reduces repetitive date questions, and supports a cleaner direct-booking flow on your own site.
- Show booked and open dates directly on your website
- Keep using Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com, or any other iCal-compatible source
- Reduce back-and-forth date questions from guests
- Prepare the page for a future direct-booking widget beside the calendar
What you need
- A Mozello site you can edit
- Your RentalBeam calendar widget
- At least one connected OTA or iCal availability source such as Airbnb or Vrbo
Keep setup simple first
Start with one property page, confirm the calendar is visible and accurate, then roll the same pattern across the rest of your site.Setup steps

Create your RentalBeam calendar
- Open your RentalBeam dashboard and click Add rental.
- Paste your Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com, or other iCal source URLs.
- Check the preview so blocked dates already look correct before you embed anything.
Works with any iCal source
RentalBeam supports any iCal/ICS URL, not just Airbnb. You can merge multiple availability sources into one guest-facing calendar view. - 2

Where to place the calendar on the page
- Put the calendar in the content section right below the part of the page that describes the rental, so guests see the dates while they are deciding.
- Check the calendar on your live site on a computer and on a phone.
- If the calendar does not appear, paste the iframe snippet in the same way instead.
Think of the calendar as a conversion aid
Competitor guides consistently put availability close to the main inquiry or direct-booking action. That pattern reduces friction because guests can check dates and act in the same visual area.
