When does switching make sense?
Huurkalender.nl works well if you have one Dutch-language property and mainly receive Dutch guests. That is the use case the tool was built for. However, the tool is Dutch-only: the interface, guest emails and the calendar widget communicate exclusively in Dutch.
- 1You rent in Wallonia, Brussels or the German-speaking community of Belgium and want guest emails in French or German.
- 2You regularly receive guests from Germany, France or the United Kingdom and want the widget and emails to appear in their language.
- 3You manage multiple properties and are looking for a flat subscription rather than a price per additional calendar.
- 4Your website targets a multilingual audience and a Dutch-only tool does not fit.

Frequently asked questions
Can I bring my existing iCal links from Huurkalender.nl?
Yes. Your Airbnb and Booking.com iCal export links remain unchanged. You add them once in Rentiplanner and synchronisation continues. You keep renting without interruption during the switch.
Does Rentiplanner work if I do not rent in Belgium?
Yes. Rentiplanner is designed for Belgium but works for any rental owner who receives multilingual guests or needs iCal synchronisation. The Belgian focus is in the language support and target audience, not in a technical restriction.
Is Rentiplanner free?
Rentiplanner offers a free starter account for one property, including iCal synchronisation and the embeddable widget. Paid features such as booking requests and multiple properties are activated when you are ready.
Does Rentiplanner synchronise with Airbnb and Booking.com?
Yes, via the iCal standard. Rentiplanner imports occupancy data from Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo and other platforms, and exports a combined feed back to those platforms. This prevents double bookings.
How quickly can I switch from Huurkalender.nl to Rentiplanner?
In most cases less than an hour. You create an account, enter your existing bookings (or import them via iCal), generate a new embed code and place it on your website. You then set up the iCal feeds for Airbnb and Booking.com using the Rentiplanner export link.
In which languages are guest emails sent?
Rentiplanner automatically detects the guest's browser language and sends confirmations, reminders and check-out instructions in Dutch, French, German or English. You can also set a preferred language per property or per guest.
