BookingBug helps keep everything in sync

Already using a calendar program to manage your time? Wouldn't it be great if you could sync it with BookingBug and vice-versa? Good news. You can. To mark time as busy in your BookingBug calendar just paste your iCal link from your existing calendar into BookingBug. Similarly you can add BookingBug's iCal link to your own calendar to show all of your bookings.

Sometimes you only need a call to action

Customisable "Book Now" and "Enquire Now" are available in case a site will not allow you to embed your calendar. Available under the 'Publish' menu you can adjust the colour size and type to fit your needs.
