MotoPress Hotel Booking at a Glance
A property management system, a booking engine, a channel manager, online payments, finance, and more. All in one plugin for your independent property booking WordPress website.
- Several years of progress, thousands of hours of development, and design.
- Supported by industry experts in the short-term rental business.
- Used and loved by property owners.
iCal Channel Management to Sync with OTAs
Grow your hotel or vacation rental business with more channels yet avoid overbooking! The plugin can synchronize the availability and bookings submitted through your website with those from online travel platforms like Airbnb, Booking, TripAdvisor, HomeAway, or any other that supports iCal.
The plugin generates unique calendars to export to external online channels and provides a way to import them from OTAs. Enjoy an automatic, near real-time synchronization (sync it as frequently as every half hour).
Streamlined Guest Experience
Property Presentation: Amenities, Image Gallery, Rates
Rent out unlimited categorized properties (holiday homes, hotel rooms) or just a single accommodation (a villa, a cabin, etc.) – the plugin works for both scenarios! Each accommodation type is fully customizable: add its description, sleep, amenities, bed size, comments, price, the booking system straight on the property page, and more.
You may also display extra services and packages available for a specific accommodation type.
Mobile-friendly Property Search Form
Simplify the search for your guests through all accommodations with a dedicated search form. The arrival/departure dates are compulsory fields, but the number of adults and children are optional so feel free to adjust and customize the default form (e.g. use the uniformed “Guests” field instead).
Guests will find a property that meets their needs and place a reservation using the booking widget regardless of the device they use.
Custom Fields for Advanced Property Search
Manage multiple properties and want to give guests better sorting options to find the most appropriate offers on the spot?
Just add any number of custom search fields (filters) to the search availability form (location, accommodation types, price range, etc.) in the booking widget and make the search a lot more convenient to the guest.
Real-time Availability Calendars
Enable guests to check the availability of individual properties right on the website. The Hotel Booking plugin retrieves availability data in real-time for the common search form as well as for the individual property availability calendars.
The status colors will show available and unavailable days.
Multiple Properties Bookable at One Go
One guest can reserve multiple accommodations during one booking placement. You may also turn on the WP hotel booking plugin to recommend the best set of accommodations according to the number of guests.
This quick and smart automation will help you serve your guests faster in their dynamic journey!
Flexible Rate & Inventory Management
Dynamic Seasonal Pricing
Regulate your property rates within any custom period: low and high seasons, holiday periods, etc. Set any prices in the preferable currency depending on a season or specific days/dates. “Season” is a general term and you can label it anyhow to reflect your pricing changes, for example, increase the pricing during any busy period.
The difference in price can be applied for both long and short periods (e.g. 2 days).
Compex Rates Based on Property Facilities
Properties of the same type are equipped differently? Maintain fenced rates for the same accommodation types with different options: nonrefundable and non-cancelable reservations, advanced amenities, breakfast, private bathroom, and more.
Your guests will choose the preferable one on the checkout page.
Per-person Property Rates
The accommodation rate can be changed automatically depending on the number of guests. You simply need to add the needed number of per-guest price variables that will be different from the base accommodation price.
The price rate will change dynamically based on the search parameters of your guests. You can choose to prioritize the maximum capacity number so that the number of adults and children will become flexible for each property.
Property Rates Based on the Length of Stay
Discounts for a longer stay? No problem! Create different price points based on the length of stay – add weekly, monthly or other rates for any custom duration.
The system will automatically discount the properties according to your rate rules. The longer the stay, the better per-night rate!
Discount Coupons in WordPress Hotel Booking Plugin
Easily create percentage, per-stay, or per-day personalized discount coupons via the admin dashboard. You’ll be able to set a discount amount, an expiration date, set check-in and check-out dates, min/max days to stay and more to customize your coupons for individual accommodations.
Sell the dreams cheaper and make each guest a loyal client!
Compulsory Taxes & Fees
Complete and correct tax, fee and pricing information of all accommodation charges. Add mandatory fees, accommodation taxes, service taxes and fee taxes – customize their types and charges to fit your needs.
Keep track on pricing information of all bookings in the admin dashboard and provide your guests with the pricing details.
Bookable Extras or Free Services
Offer additional guest services such as spa, airport-to-hotel delivery, a swimming pool, childcare, etc. that guests can add to their reservation on the checkout page.
Set the service price to be charged per stay, daily or let the guest choose. Per-accommodation and per-guest prices can also be configured.
Handling Bookings & Payment Gateways
Accept Payments Online or After Arrival
Confirm booking requests in the dashboard or instantly via email / upon payment. Charge a full price or deposit (fixed/percentage). Accept booking payments via built-in PayPal, 2Checkout, Braintree, Stripe, or Beanstream/Bambora gateways. Stripe additionally allows you to receive payments through Bancontact, iDEAL, Giropay, SEPA Direct Debit and SOFORT. Let guests pay after arrival or via a direct bank transfer.
Local Payment Gateways with WooCommerce
Need to integrate more region-specific payment gateways on your website? We have a dedicated WooCommerce Payment extension that allows you to do that in clicks. Extend the number of payment gateways needed to handle online reservation of accommodations, without tech experts.
Note: Hotel Booking WooCommerce Payments is a premium extension that is not included in the price of the Hotel Booking plugin.
Instant or Manual Booking Confirmation
Confirm booking requests in a preferable way – give control over booking approval to either your guest (by clicking on a confirmation link in the email), to yourself (you approve it manually via the admin panel) or a booking will be confirmed automatically upon payment.
For the payments, you can set the system to charge a full price or deposit (a fixed price or percentage).
Record Reservations Manually & Edit Original Bookings
Accepting booking by phone? Using other traditional methods? Let your staff add bookings manually via the backend dashboard to keep the processes paperless. The guest can pay later after arrival or using a direct bank transfer.
You can also edit original booking details, e.g. switch a room or change arrival/departure dates for guests.
User Dashboards
Allow customers to create personal accounts to easier view current bookings and speed up the process with all future ones.
You are free to enable automatic account creation at checkout for everyone or let guests choose whether they want to have an account on your website.
Efficient Rental Operations
The Centralized Admin Bookings Calendar
With this WordPress Rental plugin, all received booking requests and their current statuses are stored in one place, easily sorted and displayed in a color-coded calendar view.
Search for the needed bookings by a room type, period of booking and room status (booked, pending, available, etc.).
Customizable Min/Max Stay Requirements
The plugin comes with a flexible system of reservation restrictions and rules. Adjust your min/max stay requirement to reflect the type of guest you would prefer to host. Comply with the legal aspects of your country as for tenants and short-term guests.
Set min/max days to stay and available check-in and check-out dates for the entire hotel establishment, accommodations individually or seasons.
Take Properties out of Booking
Need to take some of your properties out of booking for renovation?
This WordPress booking system allows you to block booking options for all accommodations or individual ones for a chosen period of time (set not check-in, not check-out or not stay-in rules). The changes will be displayed in the availability calendars of each property.
Branded Admin & Client Email Notifications
The website administrator and guests will receive the appropriate emails with the booking details, booking status, cancellation notifications, etc.
Edit the content of confirmation, cancellation and other email templates easily with the help of various macros that automatically get replaced with the client’s data. Choose colors, upload a logo, customize text, etc.
Visualize Your Sales
The built-in stats chart allows you to see all your sales and bookings within a chosen period of time in an easily comprehensible graphical representation.
It’ll help you see how much you generate from bookings and extra services as well as how much you earn after taxes and lose on canceled bookings.
Generate CSV Booking Reports
Generate booking reports in a single click of a button! Get a CSV file containing detailed information on all bookings made over a specified period of time filtering the bookings to be exported by 4 custom criteria: check-in date, check-out date, date of reservation or total period of stay.

Can I sync the price with Airbnb pricing using the plugin?
The Hotel Booking plugin allows you to sync bookings and closed dates with third-party OTAs like Airbnb. There is not an option to sync prices yet.
Hello. I have two questions
1. how can i change the price of particular dateS for a holiday. NOT seasons.
for example I want to set a holiday price for 10.10, 10.25, 11.2, 12.25 (these are all holidays)
2. Is there a way to remove the half booked square from the calendar. I just want to show half booked dates as open dates. because my check in time does not overlap with checkout time. These half booked confuses the customers.
Thank you !
Hi Allan,
Thanks for your questions.
1. You will need to add separate seasons for the specific dates and then add those seasons to the rate.
2. It can be adjusted with custom CSS styles, however, 1-night bookings will be displayed as available and it is not correct.
When I choose to select a number of people visiting by guests* on booking confirmation it shows at bottom of the field “Adults number is not valid.” how do I change this text to guests or another sentence?
Hi, You may change that text by editing translations of the plugin. We have this request in our list of features so we will do our best to adjust it in one of the next updates. Thanks
Hello,
Can I ask how to get a map view like the Airbnb map page?
I want to show a Google Map View as a page view option after searching.
Thanks!
Hi Andy, There is no integration with Google Maps for now. Thus there is no possibility to show the map with properties on the search results page for now. We have this request in our list of features. We will notify you when we have any news.
i want full payment and deposit payment both options at the time of booking payments, is it possible to do ?
and can we set different deposit fix payment for different accomodations?
Hi Harshad, At the moment there is no possibility to let the guest select whether he wants to pay full width or deposit payment. It is possible to enable Deposit payment and set a timeframe before the check-in date when the full payment is paid.
It is not possible to set different deposits per specific accommodation type. You may use a percentage deposit instead.
Is Google email markup possible with the email send by your plugin?

Hi Rahul,
The email template can be configured via plugin settings only at Accommodation > Settings > Admin Emails/Customer Emails.
Hi! I have Hotel Booking through Bellenue Theme (acoomodation theme), but i´m using it for boat rental. I need to change the reservation time from nights to days (minimum day of stay 1 day, not 1 night). Is it possible (event with customization) please? I need woocommerce payments, so i need hotel Booking plugin, but i really need to have the checkout the same day (rental from morning to afternoon), i do not need hours selector.
Is it possible? Thanks!
Hi,
Thanks for your question. At the moment, there is no possibility to change from night bookings to daily ones. If the maximum stay is 1 day on your site, then you may try to hide the check-out fields from the search and availability forms by means of CSS. Then you will also need to hide the information about check-out from other pages on your site and from email notifications.
Oh… it can´t be possible even with customization? The minimum is 1 day but the maximum is not 1 day. Is not possible to edit the “1night/24h” to “1day/12h” or something like that? Thanks you
Perhaps it can be customized, however, we did not try this yet and we do not offer customization orders at the moment. We have this request in our list of features so I’ve added your upvote to this task. Thank you for understanding.
Ok, i will have to change to another system then. Thanks
is 4.2.5 version compatible with wordpress 6.0 ? it don’t shows the 100 % compatibility yet.
thanks
Hi Carla,
Thanks for your question. Yes, the Hotel Booking plugin 4.2.5 works correctly with the latest version of the WordPress 6.0.
Bonjour,
Pour le plugin de réservation HOTEL, le calendrier des disponibilités permet-il la gestion de stocks quantitatifs ?
En vous remerciant,
Hi Lea,
Thanks for your question. There are used accommodations that are units of the accommodation types (properties) and so they form the availability of each type of living on your site.
Does this have multi vendor availability? If not has this been discussed for future release?
Hi Nathaniel,
Thanks for your question. Unfortunately, the hotel booking does not have inbuilt functionality for multi-vendor platform. We have this request in our list of features so I’ve added your upvote there. We will notify you if we have any news on this.
