How to add an availability calendar to your Webnode vacation rental website
A Webnode site can show guests which dates are open, synced from Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com. Webnode's HTML block takes embed code from other services, so the script snippet goes straight in and the calendar sizes itself. HTML blocks need a premium package, and they show only on the published site.
Why add a calendar to your Webnode 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 Webnode site on a premium package
- 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
- 1
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
Copy the right embed code for Webnode
RentalBeam recommends the script embed for Webnode. Use the matching code format below as your reference.
html<script src="https://cdn.rentalbeam.com/v1/embed.js" async></script> <div class="rentalbeam-calendar" data-rental-id="your-calendar-id" data-months-per-row="3" data-rows="1" data-month-scale="1"></div>Webnode's HTML block takes embed code from other services, so the script snippet goes straight in and keeps the calendar sized to its content.
Webnode publishing reminders
- HTML blocks need a Webnode premium package.
- The editor shows a placeholder instead of the calendar. That is normal; check the published site.
- If the calendar does not appear on the live site, paste the iframe snippet into the same block instead.

Where to place the calendar on the page
- Add the HTML block next to your booking or inquiry button so guests can act right after checking dates.
- The editor shows a placeholder instead of the calendar. Check the published site.
- If the calendar does not appear on the live site, paste the iframe snippet into the same block 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.
