Possible connection issues
When trying to establish the connection between Lodgify and Airbnb, you could encounter a variety of error messages. Find out about reasons and solutions:
| Issue | Reasons and Solutions |
|
You will see this message if the Airbnb account that you are trying to connect is already connected to a different Lodgify account (let's call it Lodgify B). ➡ Solution: Check that you have selected the correct Airbnb account to be connected to, and if this is the case, you would need to contact our support team, so they can disconnect Lodgify A (temporarily) from your Airbnb account. Then you will be able to establish the connection and import your rentals information. |
|
| You log in to Airbnb and see a pink message at the top reading "You may only authorize one property management app to manage your account". |
The reason for this is usually that you already have another Channel manager / PMS connected to your Airbnb account. ➡ Solution: Check here if you already have another Channel manager connected to Airbnb. If this is the case, click Remove access and Accept. Then repeat the connection process. 💡 Note: Please be aware that while you are not connected to this Channel manager, your calendars are not synchronized. Once the import is finished, you can reestablish the connection. |
|
If you stop the connection process by closing the Airbnb pop-up before connecting (could be due to login issues, another channel manager being connected to Airbnb, etc.), you will see this notification. |

If you are trying to connect another Airbnb account (B) and first receive the message that the connection was successfully established. But then the new account is not added and you see this error message. ➡ Solution: Go to your Airbnb account (A) and log out. Then make sure you log into the Airbnb account (B) that you want to connect to Lodgify in the same navigator as Lodgify, and repeat the connection process. |
|
| When logging into Airbnb you see a ReCaptcha (I'm not a robot verification). Then the Airbnb homepage appears, but no connection is established between Lodgify and Airbnb. |
Reason: The ReCaptcha breaks the connection setup.
➡ Solution: After verifying that you are not a robot, you then need to go back into Lodgify and click again Connect to Airbnb. The connection should now be possible without interruption. |
Possible import issues
When you use our Airbnb bulk import tool to import rentals from Airbnb into Lodgify, it is possible that you face an error during the import. In the following, we will give you an overview of the possible errors and solutions.
The following errors can occur:
| Error message | Reasons and Solutions |
| Some Airbnb rentals don't appear in the list of rentals to be imported. |
|
| "We can't find any rentals to import. Make sure they are correctly set up in your Airbnb account." |
|
| "Error: this rental has not been imported." | After importing the rental, you will see the name of the rental with a red exclamation mark. If you open the accordion, you will see an error message that the rental was not imported.
➡ Solution: Try to repeat the import. If the error persists, you will need to create the rental manually. |
