The booking calendar is not displaying correctly on mobile.

Ensuring a seamless booking experience across all devices

Key points:

  • Identify the causes of the incorrect calendar display.
  • Adjust the design and scripts of the booking widget.
  • Optimize responsive rendering for mobile and tablet devices.

A poorly displayed booking calendar on mobile can frustrate your visitors and reduce direct booking rates. In Webflow, this can stem from the widget itself, the responsive design, or a code conflict. Here's how to quickly fix this issue to ensure a seamless experience for your future customers.

1. Verify the source of the embedded calendar

The calendar is often added via external integration code (iframe, booking engine script, etc.).

  • Open the page in Webflow Designer.
  • Select the Embed or Embed Code element that contains the calendar.
  • Check the width defined in the code: if it's in pixels (e.g., width="600"), replace it with width="100%". 💡 Tip: Using a fixed width prevents the widget from adapting to mobile devices. A percentage width makes it responsive.

2. Use a responsive container

Always place your booking widget in a Div Block or Container configured to fit the screen.

  • Select the parent block of the calendar.
  • Set the maximum width (max-width) to 100% and an automatic margin to center it.
  • In Tablet and Mobile views, reduce the padding to prevent overflow.

💡 This allows the calendar to resize naturally according to the screen.

4. Disable effects or animations on mobile

If the calendar is integrated with an appearance animation or a Webflow interaction, this can disrupt loading on mobile.

  • Select the calendar container.
  • Open the Interactions tab and disable the effects for Tablet and Mobile views.
  • Test the page without animation to check the display stability.

5. Test on multiple devices and browsers

Once the adjustments have been made, test it:

  • On a real smartphone (iPhone, Android).
  • On different browsers: Chrome, Safari, Firefox.
  • In portrait and landscape orientation. 💡 You can also use Chrome DevTools (Inspect > Devices) to simulate multiple phone models.

Best practices for hotel websites

  • Display a fixed booking button at the bottom of the screen for easier access on mobile devices.
  • Prefer a native, responsive widget provided by your booking engine (such as D-Edge, Reservit, Availpro).
  • Verify that the fields (dates, rooms, guests) are easily accessible without zooming or lag.

Conclusion

A poorly displayed booking calendar on mobile can directly impact your conversions. By adapting the integration code, widget width, and height, you ensure a smooth and intuitive experience on all devices—a key advantage for maximizing direct bookings on your Webflow hotel website.
