WordPress Booking Plugin Highlights
Online Search Availability Form
The site visitors will be able to place their bookings via a user-friendly website form (search availability + reservation forms). It’ll take 3 steps:
- input check-in and check-out dates
- choose from a search results list
- provide personal data to complete a booking
Accommodation Details
Each accommodation type is fully customizable: add its description, capacity, all facilities of a chosen type, bed size available in the room, and other significant information.
Make the room more attractive by adding a featured image or even the entire gallery to show all room advantages.
Bookings Calendar
With WordPress Rental plugin all received requests and their current statuses are stored at one place, easily sorted and displayed in a calendar view.
Search all needed bookings by a room type, period of booking and room status (booked, pending, available, etc).
Seasonal Pricing
Regulate your prices within any custom period. Set any prices depending on a season or specific days/dates. “Season” is a general term and you can label it anyhow to reflect your pricing changes.
The difference in price can be applied for both long periods and short ones (e.g. 2 days).
Variety of Rates
Based on a number of advantages offered for a specific room, you can set different prices for the same room type – room rates (e.g. non-refundable double room rate, refundable double room rate, etc).
Your guests will choose the preferable one on the checkout page.
Weekly and Monthly Rates
You can set any room rate depending on a season (any term). To create different price points based on the length of stay, you can add weekly, monthly or other customizable rates. For example, you can set any number of days and apply a needed per-night price based on the length of stay.
The system will automatically discount the properties according to your rate rules. The longer the stay, the better per-night rate!
Extra Services
Offer additional guest services such as spa, airport-to-hotel delivery, swimming pool, childcare, etc.
Add the entire list of services to the admin system and then supply any room with available extra services (optionally chargeable). Set prices either per person or per room.
Booking Multiple Accommodations
One guest can reserve multiple accommodations during one booking process. You may also turn on the wp hotel booking plugin to recommend the best set of accommodations according to a number of guests.
This quick and smart automation will help you serve your guests faster in their dynamic journey!
Booking Rules
The property management system is very flexible: set min / max days to stay and available check-in and check-out dates for the entire hotel establishment, accommodations individually or seasons.
You may also block booking option for all accommodations or any one individually for a chosen period of time (set not check-in, not check-out or not stay-in rules).
iCal to Sync Bookings with OTAs
This WordPress booking system can serve as a hotel channel manager! Synchronize the bookings submitted through your website with those from online travel channels like Airbnb or Booking and avoid overbooking.
Thanks to iCal file format support, the plugin generates unique calendars to export to external online channels and provides the system to import from OTAs. All synced calendars for all properties will keep your hotel availability up to date.
Variable Pricing
The accommodation rate can be changed automatically depending on a number of guests. You simply need to add a needed number of the per-guest price variables that will be different from the base accommodation price.
Your guests will see a relative price once they input their search parameters.
Multilanguage Support
Run a non-English website? No problem. Switch to one of the professional translations or translate it yourself with any translation program. The plugin is officially compatible with WPML – one of the most popular WordPress multilingual plugins.
The frontend and backend of the plugin are translated into 14 languages: Portuguese, Polish, Russian, Spanish, Turkish, Swedish, Italian, Hungarian, Czech, Chinese, Dutch, French, Arabic and German (more on the way).
Online and Offline Payments
Confirm submitted booking requests manually, automatically or instantly upon payment. Charge a full amount of money or deposit. Send email notifications either automatically or manually. Accept payments through built-in PayPal, 2Checkout, Braintree, Stripe, Beanstream/Bambora (more coming soon).
With offline payments you let guests pay after arrival at your hotel.
WooCommerce Payments Add-on
Use WooCommerce payment gateways to rent out your accommodations.
Hotel Booking WooCommerce Payments plugin integrates WooCommerce payment gateways with MotoPress Hotel Booking plugin for WordPress. Use it to extend a number of payment gateways needed to handle online reservation of accommodations.
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 all pricing details.
Discount Coupons
Easily create personalized discount coupons via the admin dashboard and provide your guests with them. You’ll be able to set a discount amount, an expiration date, select accommodation types, set check-in and check-out dates, minimum and maximum days to stay and apply other settings to customize your coupons. For the automatic discounts based on the length of stay, you’ll need to configure property rates.
Sell the dreams cheaper and make each guest a loyal client!
Email Notifications
Website administrator and guests will receive the appropriate emails with booking details, booking status, cancellation notifications, etc.
Edit the content of confirmation, cancellation and other email templates easily with a help of various macros. Choose colors, upload logo, etc.
Booking Confirmation
Confirm booking requests in a preferable way – give control over booking approval to either user (by clicking on a confirmation link in email), to yourself (you approve it manually via admin panel) or confirm a booking automatically upon payment.
For the payments, you can set the system to charge a full price or deposit (a fixed price or percentage).
Attributes – Advanced Sorting Options
Attributes menu allows you to add unlimited custom info to the property details (location, accommodation types, price range etc) and add advanced search fields to the search availability form.
By using a wide range of attributes your guests will sort the results and find the most appropriate offers on the spot.
Shortcodes & Widgets
You have a list of available shortcodes to output on the needed pages: availability search form, availability search results, room types listing, services listing, etc.
Each shortcode comes with a detailed explanation, parameters and notes.
In Harmony with Your Theme
You may not worry that your content will look different from your original website appearance – we’ve made sure that everything will work in harmony.
The plugin content will look like a natural part of your design. It’s also possible to take the advantage of WordPress Slider and enrich the theme with it in order to engage more guests.
For Developers
Developers get a pretty good list of actions, filters, instructions on how to override templates, and other useful tutorials.
Setting up and customizing the plugin for your clients should be a smooth process.

Great alternative for companies that cant afford channel manager PMS systems
Hello, stacy
Thank you very much for your reply.
I wanted to ask you a question:
The Channel Manager performs an automatic synchronization with platforms such as Trip Advisor, Airbnb, etc.?
For example:
* If you enter a reservation from Airbnb, the Channel Manager synchronizes so that it is automatically booked on Trip Advisor, booking.com, etc. and avoid overclocking.
This is possible?
Thank you
Hi Marcelo,
Hotel Booking plugin support import/export in iCalendar format only. As far as I know Trip Advisor and Airbnb supports this type of synchronization. Channel Manager is not supported by our plugin yet.
I appreciate your response:
Excuse me so many questions, but not having a demo, I have some doubts about its operation and it is important to clarify them because I want to make sure I need the plugin before I buy it.
1. Access OTAS as Trip Advisor, booking.com, despegar.com, etc. and synchronize reservations from that add-on and from that one place.
This would be possible?
2. This would avoid having to check each channel manually.
This would be possible?
3. The Hotel Booking plugin must guarantee that the calendar and availability prices are completely synchronized on all sites (OTAS).
This would be possible?
4. Allow users to export prices and availability directly from the Hotel Booking plugin to Booking.com, as well as import reservations directly from the OTAS with all the necessary information.
This would be possible?
5. All OTAS import in .ics format, therefore this add-on Hotel Booking plugin should accept it.
This would be possible?
I appreciate your understanding
Hi Marcelo,
Our plugin allows to import bookings only. The prices and other information can not be synced. Also when bookings is cancelled at 1 of the systems you should go to each other system and cancel bookings there too.
As for ICS format so it is supported.
Hi! Just purchased MotoPress Hotel Booking Plugin.
How can I add an horitzontal bar ‘Search Availability Form ‘on my home page? By default the shortcode print a block form, I would get the same look as your themes, looking the code I found a class that change that format (widget_mphb_search_availability_widget), but it not works on my site.
I’m working with Elementor + the extension.
thanks
Hi Marc,
Thank you for your question. You may try to to follow this article. Or contact our support team for assistance.
Good morning,
I would like to ask you the following questions:
1 – The hotel channel manager (iCal) has the function of being able to edit a reservation from booking.com, Trip Advisor, etc. and then that reservation is reflected in the Trip Advisor platform, etc?
Example: enter a reservation to my hotel through my website, and I go to the channel manager, enter the reservation in the Trip Advisor calendar and then it is automatically reflected in the Trip Advisor platform. That’s possible?
2 – The reservations of the Otas that appear in the channel manager, are the days marked only or is there information from the people who booked?
3 – On a single website, can I use this plugin several times in different accounts for different users? it’s possible?
4 – The payment of $ 199.- is a single or annual payment?
I am interested in buying your plugin, but I depend on getting out of these doubts.
Thank you very much for your time
Atte
Marcelo Juarez
Hi Marcelo,
Thank you for the questions.
1. Bookings can be edited only on the platform where they were placed.
2. Ical is not safe enough to send customer or payment info, so OTAs share limited to no info. All the info that our plugin receives is stored in the Logs section of each booking. Our plugin sends only guest name, booking id, property title and dates to external platforms.
3. Our plugin can be used by multiple users. They will see each other’s properties, bookings and payments. There are no separate accounts for different owners.
4. The license is yearly. The annual renewal is due in a year after your purchase and costs 50% off the price ($89.5). If you skip a renewal, you will stop getting updated versions and technical assistance after the license expiration.
Hi Stacy
Thank you very much for your reply.
I wanted to ask you a question:
The topic is about the automatic synchronization that the channel manager does with the platforms like Trip Advisor, Airbnb, etc,
For example:
* If you enter a reservation from Airbnb, the manager channel synchronizes so that it is automatically booked on Trip Advisor and prevents overlocking?
This is possible?
Thank you
Hello
Accommodation Type Category: %room_type_categories% in email does not work. It always show “Array”. The same error whey I call categories in template.
Hi Ken,
Thank you for your report. We have managed to replicate the issue. We will do our best to fix it in the nearest update.
I want to know the process of cancellation booking that is provided by this plugin.
After canceling booking user can get him booked money return to this account using it’s payment method?
Does admin take extra charge for that cancel booking using that credit or debit card that booking user is used?
Who can cancel the booking? Admin or booking user?
Also, I have one other question related booking 50% payment ratio.
Can Client make half payment of that property?
After the booking, Do will remain 50% charge to that credit or debit card when admin want get remain 50% payment?
Please tell me that do your booking plugin provide above all facility?
If yes then inform me how can i do this?
No that means do we need to do by customisation?
Hello Cherri,
As for cancellation so you may refer to my reply on question below. In regards to the deposit payment so the guest may pay 50% online and the rest 50% on arrival. Or you can use our premium addon that helps to request to pay the rest of a deposit in certain days before check in or sending payment link it manually
In plugin, cancel booking means that means booking user can get the money of booking re back using it’s payment method. Are there extra charge to booking user for that cancellation booking?
This above two things are added to your plugin or not?
Do we need to customise ?
Hello Bhavin,
You may allow guests to cancel the reservation. It means that customer is able to cancel the reservation – to make the property available. But this option does not let to get a refund (money back) automatically if you have set up online payments to confirm reservations. Actually the refund can be provided via payment gateway(s) you enabled on your site.
Hi.
I’m using motor press hotel booking plugin with the hoteller theme.
I have almost translated everything with polylang and just something with poedit. The problem is about the “booking confirmation” page(checkout page). From the plugin settings i can set just one page. In this case, the default language one.
When I book an accomodation from the italian version, he just switch to the english checkout page. I have already created a traslation for that page with the same shortcode. Could u please help me?
Sorry for my English
Hi Vittorio,
Unfortunately Hotel Booking plugin has not been tested with Polylang yet. You may try contacting Polylang for a solution as type of page configuration is quite common in WordPress so translation plugin should dynamically direct you to proper page translation. Actually Hotel Booking plugin has been tested with WPML plugins only and we recommend it for translation the content. WPML developers confirmed its 100% compatibility.
Hi.
I use your advanced search with attributes for to show the relative rooms for the exact number of people.
I have create 2 attributes with ADULTS & CHILDREN
But i have some rooms with children also.
so if i ask for 2 (adults) i see also the rooms with the children.
Lets say The DOUBLE ROOM but also the QUAD ROOM with 2+2 children.
Exist a way to ask in search with attributes to show the rooms with both parameter check?
Now i use
[mphb_availability_search attributes=”people,children-room”]
Is there any way to check for both attributes for to show the specifique rooms and hide the room with 2,2 when is only 2 adults?
Thank you
Hi George,
Unfortunately we do not provide technical assistance in the comments. Could you submit a request to our support team to help you sort this out.
Hi,
I am using the free plugin and got some major issues. Either I don’t know how to use them, or the functions are limited because the plugin is free. Hope to have this resolved so I consider paying for the premium version.
1. the calendar is buggy; cannot even select the dates.
2. all the shortcodes dont work for me.
3. can’t adjust the availability of the room into Free/Pending/Booked.
Hi Ann,
Thank you for your questions.
1. Make sure you have created season and rates for your accommodation types. Could you provide site example?
2. All the shortodes of Hotel Booking plugin should be rendered properly of Hotel Booking plugin is installed and activated.
3. Could you clarify the question more detailed. Do you mean general back-end calendar?
You may also submit a request to our support team to let our agents check all the described issues.
Did you know that if you try to leave a bad review they won’t publish it? …unbelievable
Hi Simone,
We are sorry for a delay – our manager who reviews rates was on the week-end. Your review has been published though.
After the purchase and after having tried their demo site, I realized the plugin was not showing up content as nice and beautifull as in the demo site, also classes and Html DOM was different, so no easy way to try to personalize the plugin as showed in the demo, believe me I found out the product page all confused and messed up.
Plus I noticed the avaiblity calendar was buggy (kept moving forward and backward along with the mouse scroll) and what I tought is that I would have to spend much more time than expected to create my web site with this plugin.
No way to be refunded… that’s not the right way to work, and shows the kind of persons behind this company. If a customer the day after purchase is not happy with your product definitly deserve a refund.
Ps. As main theme I use Avada, one of the most know and stable theme on the market on my believe.
Hello Simone,
Thank you for your time and feedback.
As we mentioned in your support ticket, headings, input types, lists use the styles of the theme active at your WordPress website. It lets our plugin parts/layouts inherit the styles of any WordPress theme and look naturally. The design of elements in accordance with your theme is not a reason for a refund.
Moreover, Avada is popular among our users and we have tested our plugin with this theme. It has no major style defects or incompatibility. Do not hesitate to email us back to kindly resolve the questions you described.
Hello,
In case I am not interested in online payments but instead, I want the customer to send me his credit card details in order for me to charge him manually via my own payment system, can I customize the checkout form in order to include credit card fields? And if yes, how can I do it?
Hi Michael,
Thank you for your question. There are available other confirmation modes like verification by email or by admin manually. So you may send an email notification requesting the needed details.
Or if there is such payment method you described for WooCommerce you may integrate it to Hotel Booking plugin by means of HB WooCommerce payments addon
Hi, im currently using hotel booking lite, i tried paying via my paypal sandbox account, it says payment was successful, then when i return to my merchant site, under payment history it still says pending payment and no transaction id? Is there some configuration I didn’t turn on in settings, or something to do with paypal?
I had turn on auto return and pdt in paypal setting,
I also turn on sandbox mode, and fill in the correct paypal email in paypal gateway setting?
what should i do?
Hi Muhammad,
Sandbox payments works properly on our side. Please contact our support team for assistance with the case you have described.
Dear Motopress
I interest to use motopress as my booking rental website. in description about Online and Offline Payment. it is said that “confrim submitted 1. booking requests manually, 2. automatically or 3. instantly upon payment”.
there are 3 choise to book or payment method. is that setting applied to all property or can we choose what payment or booking method each property?
because, sometimes, i have property rental that i haven’t been applied to OTA yet. so for that case i have to confirm to property owner first for availability and price also.
example: i will set only this property rental can book and pay by request.
Thank
Haris
Hello Haris,
You can choose one of those methods to confirm reservation of all accommodation types/properties. However if you have some property where you do not want to let online booking you may not simply add rate or hide reservation form for such property. Thus it becomes unavailable so you can place third party contact form to get booking requests for this property.
Hi
Is it possible to automatically connect the reservations with a hotel management PMS? through xml exports or some kind of integrations, API..?
Thank you
There is option to import bookings in iCalandar (iCal/ICS) format from other platforms that support this too e.g. airbnb, VRBO, HomeAway, etc. Also there is option to get generated ical links and import booking to other platforms. The synchronization is either automatic in predefined period of time or manual (on demand).
Hello,
I’m thinking of buying your plugin, but I have a question before.
Is it possible to create a pack with multiple bookings?
Let me explain, We have a minimum space for 6 people, then this same minimum space + floor # 1, then minimum space + floor # 2 … etc.
The villa is in several space, but with a common area.
Clearly, people reserve the main space, then choose additional spaces depending on the number.
And focally, you can not reserve the main space several times.
And additional spaces at a different price depending on the period, as the main space elsewhere …
Thank you in advance,
Regards,
Damien
Hello Damien,
Thanks you for your question however I’m not sure i got it properly. Could you clarify what you mean under ‘space’? Do you need any example of how you need it to work? Thanks
Hi,
I am testing your Lite version and reading about Premium and I have one question.
Our price of the package is guest age dependent. We have adults, teenagers, babies, and toddlers. As I can see, you have only two categories: adults and children? Can this be modified?
Hello Andraz,
Thank you for your question. We do not provide option to add variable pricing based on children age. It is rather custom solution and we recommend to charge for various children groups on arrival or providing a coupon code describing the pricing in the description of accommodation. Thanks.
Does Hotel Booking plugin compatible with wordpress mutisite mode?
Hi Judy,
Yes, Hotel Booking plugin can be enabled for whole network. You will need Unlimited license in to be able to use plugin at more than one site of your network.
However accommodation types are not linked with each other though the subsites of the network and there is no single availability search within the subsites.
Hi,
Could you please look at Issue ID #13983, we have send the issue and question quite some time ago and the respond is EXTREMELY SLOW. All the concerned that mentioned are not being addressed and we will need to keep repeat and waiting for the respond.
Hi,
Thank you you reminder. Yes, sure we have been working with your request. It just required more time and attention as your request was related to custom styles. We’re sorry for a delayed reply though. Thank you for your patience.
Hi I love the theme, I was about to purchase, but I noticed, that when an order is entered manually, there is no way for admin to receive confirmation email. Would it be possible to add one more admin email template for manually added orders? Or at least send the same admin template as “Approved Booking Email (via payment)” whenever a booking is added manually.
Hi Alan,
Thank you for contacting us. At the moment there are no emails sent to admin when booking is added at back-end. We’ll review your suggestion and add a new comment once we get any news on this.
Hi MotoPress team,
I was wondering if you support highly custom pricing model.
Let’s say there is a standard rate for 50 euros/night for 4 person, but it is -10% for 3, -20% for 2 and -40% for 1 person.
But I have also rates for 60, 75, 100 and also for 125 euros, the discount goes like before (-10% for 3, -20% for 2 and -40% for 1 person.)
for example:
60e is for July, but weekends are for 75e/night
50e is for March, but weekend is 60e etc.
Do you support this model?
Thanks for your help.
Hi Tom,
Yes, Hotel Booking plugin allows to create custom season prices depending on amount of guests and stay period. I’d recommend to watch this video tutorial to learn how it works
Thank you!
Presale Question – how often does the iCal sync with the other OTAs and could you please advise if the booking details made on OTAs get imported into the booking engine on WP or do we need to manage each OTA booking on their portals?
Hi,
Thanks for your question. You may setup such intervals – Once Hourly, Once Daily or Twice Daily. While importing bookings our plugin delivers just check in and out dates, unique booking ID, property name and guest name. However it is recommended to manage each booking on proper OTA as initial purpose of iCal synchronization is just to avoid overbooking.
is those 5 theme in demo included in this plugin ?
Hi,
Thanks for your question however there are no templates included into the plugin. Hotel Booking plugin can be used with all WordPress themes as it inherits their styles. In case you look for theme that includes Hotel Booking plugin and is adjusted perfectly to fit the layouts you can check this category
Hello I also collect a 30% deposit and the guest must pay the rest 30 days before arrival. Could you add an option to send an email to guest requesting the remainder and a link to pay via stripe or paypal the remainder. Yes two separate transactions should occur. This is common with other booking sites.
It would also be nice to see a spot for a security deposit — I can’t add it to fees or services because it is not taxed.
Hi Tavi,
Thank you. We’ll keep this in mind for further plugin development. Thank you for your time.
Hello Tavi,
Thank you for your suggestion. We’ve added your idea to our feature list. However we should check whether Stripe and PayPal support the kind of functionality you described – pay via dynamic link for certain reservation. Your thoughts are important for us.
The feature that you requested is now available for MotoPress Hotel Booking.
With the new addon Request Payment, you can charge a deposit during booking and automatically or manually request the rest of the payment a certain number of days before check-in. You can read more about the plugin in this article.
Thank you for all your suggestions!
Hi, a couple of questions before I purchase.
1. I understand this has the ability for % coupons, but can you set a monetary value?
2. We take a 20% deposit, with payment 6 weeks before arrival. Does your system have the ability to send a reminder email with a link for the customer to pay when the balance payment is due?
Thank you
Hi Hector,
1. Currently you can create coupon codes with percentage, and apply different rates based on guest count and stay period. Could you clarify your question more detailed providing examples?
2. At the moment the rest of the deposit can be paid by guests on his arrival only.
Oh that’s a shame – it’s not possible to customise an email with the tool to do this? Are there any plans for this to be released? (I’ve got until end of Sep to decide whether to renew with my current system) Paying a balance in advance of arrival is very common for holiday rentals, and I don’t think we could find a way around this.
Hi Hector,
I guess it could be managed via payment gateway but even most popular payment gateway providers does not have option to pay the amount in two steps – deposit and the rest. Do you use confirmation upon payment or some other mode (by admin manually or email)?
Hi, I like buy the plugin but I have a question
I have a hostel with 12 beds and the visitors can be adults and child (with a limit of a adult). I have been test you plugin and in the select box the customer may select the option12 adults or 11 childs. But if enter this total quantity are 23 and you may book but is a error because only we have12 beds. With a plugin¿Can I limit the total quantity of beds to 12?
Thanks.
Hi Pedro,
It is possible to hide children parameter and rename Adults into Guests that will mean both either adults and children. Thus you will use Guests (re-named Adults) as total capacity. will that work for you?
Hi J. Davis, thanks by your the answer.
In my opinion no is a good choice your answer, because adults have different price that a child, then I need know the number of childs and adults. Is important know how many child and adults and to limit by total number of beds.
Hi Pedro,
Thank you for your remark. Usually capacity of accommodation is static due to different types of beds. We’ll review this possibility. Could you specify the confirmation mode you use? You can let your visitors to pay a deposit and ask them to indicate children amount. Then calculate the rest depending on children amount. Thank you for your thoughts.
Hi there, i’m thinking about purchasing your plugin. I do have a few questions beforehand which I hope you can answer for me:
– When I look at the demo (Villagio) and I want to book a villa, I have to enter my full name, email and number, even before I get to the checkout page (where I have to do the exact same thing). Why are you asking twice about the same information?
– We also sell giftcards to our customers, is this also possible with this plugin? And how does it work, can we generate a code which stands for a specific amount of money?
– Can I allow instant bookings?
I hope to hear from you. Many thanks!
Hi Marga,
– There is used Hotel Booking WooCommerce Payments addon on Villagio demo site. It is not included in theme by default. This addon integrates payment gateways from WooCommerce. We’re also working on this question currently – to move the entered information to Checkout page of WooCommerce not to enter it twice. So it would be available in the next version of plugin.
– There is option to add coupon codes of percentage type. Do you mean this?
– Could you please clarify what you men under ‘instant booking’? Do you mean adding booking from the back-end?
Hello,
I am wondering if we offer the booking calendar Chinese translation, thank you!
Thank you for the Plugin.
Hi,
You can see the level of plugin translation here. Yoou may also register there and help translating it. Could you specify what exactly calendar you need to be translated for Chinese?
Hello !
My client sells tours and has very specific needs for displaying the several tours’ information. So I created a website with a custom page for each tour. Still, he would like to display availabilities with a calendar and allow users to pay a deposit for the tours. I have already tried several plugin but none of them seem to be fully functionnal.
So, if I buy this plugin of yours, will I be able to display ONLY the calendar (and eventually booking form) on a page separate from the “room” page ? The room page can exist besides the tour page.
I do not know if my question is clear enough. Please ask me if you need a little more information in order to answer me.
Thanks for your help.
Hi Esparon,
There is no way to display the booking calendars separately not on the accommodation pages. However, these calendars are available in the booking form (added with [mphb_availability id=”your-accommodation-id”] ), when the customers click on the check-in and check-out dates. These forms can be added to any page and the unavailable dates are crossed-out there.
We would still advise to test this functionality in one of our demos to make sure that it fits your needs, since the plugin was designed for property rental.
I have another question. If I run 2 different sites with this plugin and I add respective iCal urls to these sites. Do they automatically synchronize if automatic synchronization is on?
Thank you.
Hi Liudas,
Yes, sure it should work properly. You can even try to sign up 2 demos and sync its calendars.
I can’t seem to get this to work. I made a booking on one site and even if I click “Sync all external calendars” it doesn’t add the new booking to the other site. Could I get any help with this?
Hi Liudas,
Make sure you have linked the calendars with each other by going to Bookings>Sync Calendars. Feel free to watch this video guide
Also do not hesitate to email us in case you need our assistance.
Were you able to get this to sync? I am having the same issue. Customers book on my WP site but booking not showing up in Airbnb. And I have synced all calendars and everything.
Hi,
Please, submit a support ticket here for assistance.
Can I add reservations manually from the backend?
Hi Omar,
Yes, it is possible now to add new bookings at the back-end since version 2.7.0 in Premium version of plugin.
Thanks for the reply, Im see the option in the pro version demo, now I have two questions, how can I block rooms? and If its possible to add services to an already booked and confirmed reservation? for example if a guest stays for 5 days and in the 3rd day it needs some service like laundry, I already create this services and its cost, but how can I add this service to the reservation?
Hi Omar,
Yes, it is possible to block certain rooms for certain period and you can do this by going to Dashboard>Bookings>Booking Rules.
Unfortunately it is not possible to order services after the accommodation is booked. We’ll keep this feature in mind for further plugin development. As a workaround you can try to sell services on your site using third party plugin for selling like WooCommerce, etc.
Is there any option to change main currency and show multiple currencies?
Hi,
It is possible to change currency however there is no possibility to use multiple currencies at the same time. So there can be selected 1 currency per website only.
Hi! Is it possible to read the prices, give it to a script to exchange with the actual rates and show it in the description by phpinclude? The customer should be have an imagine of the price in his own currency.
Hi Eni,
We have this feature in our list and we’ll do our best to review after more priority requests. Thank you for your suggestion.
It seems that when I block date on airbnb/booking then sync in motopress it import and blocks that date. But if I then open in OTAs and sync again in motopress stays blocked. If I then put cancel for that booking in motopress and blok again that same date in OTAs it wont block again (Skipped. Event with such UID already exists in booking) even if I put it in trash. it blocks again only if I delete it from trash.
I hope I tested OK and I am not sure am I doing something wrong but this could be a problem if there is canceled booking and then booking again for the same date. Can you check this please?
Also, it would be great that you could block dates directly in booking calendar section rather than in booking rules section. I know it is complicated but it is only a suggestion.
Hi Ante,
Thank you for describing your situation. We have submitted a request for you to check synchronization. Please check you email and reply us back. Thank you also for your feedback and suggestions.
Hi,
My client is migrating from an old custom booking system to WordPress. Is there a way to move the reservations from one system to the other since I can’t create a new reservation in the WordPress control panel?
Hi Liudas,
If your old system supports export option in iCal format you can export bookings and import it to our plugin. Also it is possible to block accommodations for certain dates if your old system does not support iCal import/export.
Hi there,
I have some questions..
Our client supposed to crate Word press website based on avaibook service, using this theme:
http://preview.themeforest.net/item/casamia-property-rental-wordpress-theme/full_screen_preview/20992167?_ga=2.126053640.420783988.1524764900-410087755.1523714448
He needs to sync it with airbnb and booking.com
When we looked closely at the theme and avaibook, we figure out, that theme doesn’t manage booking flow and avaibook doesn’t work well for his needs. So we need to find other solution.
We have found your plugin, and it looks like exactly what we want. But we still have doubts.
Looks like we need to change the theme to be able to manage booking ( for example this one can work: https://listify-demos.astoundify.com/rentals/ ) or we can still use your plugin on the CasaMia (the theme we have) and with your plugin, there is a possibility to manage booking? If we will use CasaMia, is it possible to create other user/admin, who will manage his properties (This option is provided by Listify but not in CasaMia)..
If we will use CasaMia, how we will implement calendars, and will it looks nice, like a theme?
Do you provide your theme in the pack with the plugin? Can we check these themes?
Thank you
Nat
Hi Nat,
Hotel Booking plugin is compatible with all WordPress themes as it inherits theme design. You can try using Hotel Booking plugin with current theme you have in order to check how it will look like. As for the user so you will be able to create a new user role and set up its permissions using third party plugin (our support team will assist you with this).
Hotel Booking plugin is used at 2 themes at them moment: Oceanica and Villagio. You can test both templates at our Live Demo.
Hi, thank you for the reply. There is one more question, that i have =)
Is it possible to manage prices for channels differently? I mean, if the price shown on the website is 40€, on the booking.com it will be 45€ (because of there fee from the booking.com). So, the property will have a different price because of that. Is it possible to manage? or maybe saving all prices equal, booking.com can add their fee to the price of the appartment… Did you meet this kind of issue?
thank you
Nat
Hi Nat,
We sync with external booking platform through the ical system. This system only synchronizes the availability of properties. It does not transfer any rates or payment data. So there won’t be a problem if the prices on booking com differ from the ones on your website.
Hi
Few queries before consider buying it
1. Can it be used for multiple hotels under the same website?
2. How many number of rooms can be added and iCal synchronized?
3. Is SMS possible similar to email notification?
4. Is it possible to change the word Category , Tag, etc.
5. What is the difference between Accommodation Types and Accommodations from a hotel website perspective.
Thanks and Regards
1. It is possible just to use Categories as different Hotels to filter the accommodation types. But category is not available as search parameter yet so all accommodation types will be shown in search results page.
2. There is no limit for accommodations to be synchronized.
3. You can send notifications by email only.
4. Plugin translations are editable.
5. Accommodation type is a type of room like ‘Double Room’ and accommodations are real number of room of this type. Accommodations defines availability of accommodation type.
Thank you for responding;
3. Can we use any third party plugin for SMS notification? or do you undertake any custom development/features
4. We fear you have misunderstood our query. Please refer answer of question No. 1. Our query was can we change the word Category to Hotel?
and another question is;
6. Is report generation available? On your website, we didn’t find any.
– Unfortunately we did not have a chance to test it with plugin that allows to send SMS instead of email. However the plugin is ready for development and for integration with other services so feel free to extend its functionality. Thank you.
– If you simply need to change ‘Category’ into ‘Hotel’ then it is possible by editing plugin translation. We’ll assist you with it if you need our help.
– There is not option for reports yet. However we collect feedback on this so you can share your thoughts with us – what information you need in report. Maybe you have some example.
Hi
Apologies for the delay as we were working with some other plugin and now almost decided to go with Motopress. Please answer the following;
1. Reporting means provision to export booking details (booking orders) in excel format or so (Guest details, from and to dates, other booking details, etc.)
2. From a single room page, is it possible to book/reserve/check availability by using the search form (check availability form on right side)? While we were checking the demo frontend, it displays the whole search results.
3. We found that on email, Price Breakdown option is unavailable and hope it can be incorporated by some means.
4. Is it possible to print the bill/receipt of booking from the dashboard so that the hotel management need not to depend on another billing software?
5. We wish to have a custom WordPress dashboard for our client and came across few plugins to change the look and feel of admin dashboard, what’s your opinion about this?
Thanks and Regards
Comtech
Hi,
1. At the moment there is no option to import Bookings within Hotel Booking plugin. We’ve added your request to our features list.
2. You can enable ‘Skip Search Results’ option in plugin settings to check availability of current room without living its page.
3. We have this feature in our to-do list so I guess it will be available in one of the next updates.
4. Currently you can print the booking while editing it on the back-end only. We have added your request to our list of features. Thank you.
5. It is up to you to modify dashboard styles for website owner. We followed WordPress standards while developing Hotel Booking plugin so I guess its back-end sections will work properly with third party plugin that modifies the look of WordPress dashboard.
6. Please tell us if we purchase Single Site license, is it required to pay $49 every year for updates or it is a onetime payment?
7. Where we can find the difference between Single Site and Unlimited Site differences?
6. The license of Hotel Booking plugin is annual for plugin updates and technical support. Its renewal is 50% of the license plan.
7. The only difference between Single and Unlimited licenses is the amount of sites where this license can be used. If you select Unlimited license you can use plugin on unlimited amount of sites and Single – 1 website only.
hi, is it possible to see a summary of guests arriving today, tommorow etc? and to search for availability on any given date or dates in the future?
many thanks
Hi,
It is possible to filter bookings per month and count guests on your own. However there is no tool yet to count all visitors for certain date.
As for search availability so you can check it at single page of accommodation type using it form.
This plugin appreas to be well designed and programmed.
Can you tell me whether it is possible to check in a guest on the same day that the previous guest checks out? Example guest 1 arrives may 12 departs may 13, guest 2 checks in may 13th. this is critical.
Thanks for for your assitance.
Hi Lizzy,
Thank you for your question. If guest #2 checks availability of accommodation that is booked till May 13 he will see this room in search results page. So he can book this room from May 13.
Hi there, I am considering getting this plugin for a client. It´ s a tourist center with camping site, cabins/lodges, and a hotel. Besides the booking calendar view I don´ t see much in the way of administrative functionality, like lists of rooms checking in, checking out, rooms with staying guests, etc. And what about maintenance administration? A system to register missing/broken items pr room, etc. Please tell me these things are in place already….
Hi,
Thank you for your question. The booking can be made by searching for available accommodation by filling parameters like amount of guests, check-in and check-out dates. Could you specify what you mean under Booking Calendar view and how it works for multiple accommodation types you named?
As for administration so there is single booking calendar that shows all available bookings/reservations in a calendar view. Could you specify the tool you need to register missing/broken items pr room, etc. Can you provide some example of solution for this?
I’d recommend to view live demo and register the type that meets your requirements.
Hello!
Hi, before buying, I want to know if I can achieve this configuration
Room X:
Capacity:
Minimum: 1
Maximum 4
Prices:
1 Guest = 80
2 Guests = 100
3-4 Guests = 45 each guest
Monday to Thursday: 30% discount
I appreciate your feedback
Hi Ed,
The first option you described is not available at the moment. However we have it in our to-do list and we’ll notify you here once it is available. Thank you for your suggestion.
The second option with 30% discount is possible by creating special Season with dates from Monday to Thursday. Then go to edit the rate and add new season price applying your special season with different price (-30%). Don’t forget to drag it above your main season price and save the changes. Thus special season price 2ith 30% discount will be applied on days from Monday to Thursday and your basic rate will be applied on other days.
Hi Ed,
We are happy to announce about 2.6.1 version release where it is possible to indicate price per guests amount. Thank you for your feedback.
can this be used for like a vrbo type site? I nsee you add accomadation types so not sure. can you add actual listings that are all different?
Hi Todd,
Thank you for the question.
You can create an unlimited number of accommodation types and sync them with VRBO and other booking platforms that use iCal. Note that this plugin may not fit your needs if you want to let multiple rental owners manage their own accommodations, bookings and payments, because the payment and booking systems of the plugin are shared.
Sorry for maybe asking stupid question, but where does the money the guest pay go ? If they choose to pay , for example, by credit card ?
I didn’t find any information where is my bank account settings available ?
Thank you for the answer, and sorry for lack of knowledge .
Hi Matija,
Thank you for the question. WordPress plugins do not process payments, we only offer payment gateways that can process payments online safely. Our plugin has the following in-built payment gateways: PayPal, 2Checkout, Braintree, Stripe, Beanstream/Bambora. You enable them in the plugin settings (Accommodation > Settings > Payment Gateways) and fill in your seller account details there. These payment gateways appear on the checkout page and when a customer chooses one of them, they are redirected to a safe payment page of the chosen gateway. Upon payment the customer returns to your website and the money go to your seller account on PayPal, 2Checkout, Braintree, Stripe or Beanstream/Bambora.
Some of these payment gateways allow buyers pay with a credit card without registering an account on the platform. You can connect more payment gateways with this addon.
Understood, thank you for the answer 🙂
Hi is it possible to add location search to search form?
Thanks,
Hi David,
There is no option to add location search parameter at the moment. Thank you for your feedback though.
Is this functionality planned for a future release?
Yes, we would want to implement it in one of the future updates. We can notify you when it gets implemented.
Hi, couple of presales questions for our setup which are a number whole houses.
1) when guests book, is there an option to display our terms & conditions and for the guest click a box that they are agreeing to the terms and conditions as part of the booking and that box gets c arrived forward into an [email protected] or saved as pert of the booking.
2) we have a service that provides linen per bed per stay, is there an option to select a service or fee which is based on number of beds
3) our prices are based on a maximum number of guests although we do allow some additional guests on top of that for a fee per guest per day. Can we set up a service or fee , eg ‘additional guests’ that is a fee per guest per day but only up to a maximum of say 3 guests, ie a person can only select 1,2 or 3 for this service or fee.
Hi Chris,
Thank you for the questions.
1) There is a customizable Terms and Conditions text that is displayed on the checkout page. So by placing an order guests agree to them, but there is no checkbox for it. You can add the info about agreement to the system email templates that are sent automatically when a booking is placed (Accommodation > Settings > Customer Emails).
2) It is possible to set up a fee per accommodation per day. Each accommodation type can have its own fee, so knowing how many beds there are, you can set the needed price.
3) You can set up the service Extra Person/Extra Bed per accommodation per day. Then tie to the accommodation as many of them as a specific accommodation type can handle. The customers can check the needed number of people on the checkout and the price will be counted accordingly.
We are happy to announce that the MotoPress Hotel Booking plugin now meets the GDPR requirements. With the latest update (2.7.0), you can add the GDPR checkbox on the checkout page.
Make sure, that the plugin is updated. Then create your Terms and Conditions page and define it in Accommodation > Settings (Terms and Conditions). The checkbox will appear on the checkout page automatically.
Hi, I bought the Hotel Booking Plugin few days ago and the paypal checkout page is not working. I followed your instruction from the pdf documentation and still is not working. any advices? thank you!
Hi David,
We have tested PayPal gateway and it works perfectly. Please email us if you have any difficulties while configuring plugin. It is rather difficult to assist you due to lack of information you provided. Thank you.
Hi, provided italian translation is working great except for the room price where the text “Prices start at:” is not translated. Any luck to have an help?
Hi Biagio,
Thank you for letting us know. There may be some imperfections in the translation. A translation for the price field can be added with any translation plugin, e.g. Loco Translate. You can also contribute to the Italian translation here https://translate.getmotopress.com/glotpress/projects/wordpress/plugins/motopress-hotel-booking/it/default/
I can import and export the booking data with other website? Is automatic?
Hi,
Yes, there is available synchronization in iCal format. You can enable automatic mode and setup desired intervals to sync calendars.
Hi,
How can you enable the automatic iCal synchronization? I have been checking the documentation and it says it’s manual:
“For now, you have to sync all bookings manually from time to time”
Also I couldn’t find an automatic mode on the demo. Is it a new feature?
Thanks
Hi Henry,
The feature was introduced in the latest version. We updated the demo to the latest version. Now you can find the autosync options under Accommodation > Settings (scroll down).
The documentation has not been updated yet. Thank you for pointing it out – we will fix it.
I’m missing the offliine payment(bank transfer and/or cash) in the demo. Maybe i just mised it?
I’n fact thats more or less the only reason keeping me from buying the plugin
Guess i found out. I do not wish to only accept offline payment.I would need it as an alternative payment – additionally to the payment gateways.
Hi Rene,
You can enable all the payment gateways that you need, as well as Test Payment. The plugin settings let you rename Test Payment to Bank Transfer. So when someone places a booking and chooses Bank Transfer, their booking will appear in the back end and they will be sent an automatic email, which you can use for providing bank transfer details.
We are also working on integrating the booking plugin with WooCommerce, so you will have access to more payment gateways.
I did but the payment is set to “paid” instantly
Hi Rene,
Then you should better switch to another confirmation mode that is called ‘by admin manually’. Then you will manage all offline payments and change booking status manually. You can email us in case you need more details on this.
Does it have payment gateway for visa
Hi Sapam,
Yes sure you can choose among:
– PayPal
– 2Checkout
– Stripe
– Braintree
– Beanstream/Bambora
Is it one time fee for the plugin?And can we integrate it with PAYU payment gateway India?
This product is subject to a yearly license for support and automatic updates. It means that you will need to renew license for next year if you want to get updates and assistance for your plugin. Note: we provide 50% discount for each next renewal.
can we integrate it with Pay U for payment checkout?
You need to have technical knowledge in order to integrate a new payment gateway. Otherwise you can send the payment details in an automatic email sent by the plugin upon booking placement. Also it is possible to set up PayPal so that the customers will be able to pay by card without registering a PayPal account.
We are planning on integrating the MotoPress Hotel Booking plugin with WooCommerce in one of the future updates, so you will be able to use Pay U on the check out page.
can you help me with the integration of pay u with the plugin
Hi Sapam,
All our developers are involved in a workflow with more priority feature requests. However we’ll keep your feedback about custom payment gateway in mind and will do our best to provide a solution later. So we recommend to use available payment gateways and confirmation modes for now.
Hi Sapam,
We have just launched a new addon – WooCommerce integration. You can now use any WooCommerce gateway to rent out accommodations. Check it out here – https://motopress.com/products/hotel-booking-woocommerce-payments/
When it’s going to be happened?
Hi Vasiliy,
We started working on the WooCommerce integration only recently, so there is no exact date for the release yet. Depending on the difficulty, it will appear within a couple of months.
Hi Vasiliy, here is the long-awaited WooCommerce Payments Addon for Hotel Booking plugin https://motopress.com/products/hotel-booking-woocommerce-payments/ Your feedback is highly appreciated!
Hy, i have a few pre-sales question:
Can we cuztomize the booking form?
i mean :
*remove the second step easily and then directly going to third choise
*removing field geust in third step as it same with second step.
*adding tax service
are all the customizing we can do manually and easily or we need to contact you? thanks in advance
Hi Freyja,
Thank you for your question however could you email us describing those points more detailed?:
– I’m sorry but I’m not really sure I got this point properly. Could you clarify it? Do you mean you want to disable Search Results page?
– Do you mean removing ‘Guest Name’ field on the Checkout page?
– Taxes option is not available at the moment. We’ll start working on it after next update release. So while sending an email to us we would appreciate if you let us know the tax conditions you want to be added. Thank you.
It would be good to integrate a form of payment for Latinos, culqi example, is the best so far, why not add it?
Here I leave the link:
https://www.culqi.com/docs/#/pagos/checkout
Hi,
Thank you for reaching us out. We will review your request about adding Culqi payment gateway. Unfortunately we can not guarantee its release in the fastest terms as there are other features under
development. However we’ll notify you here once we get any news on this.
At the moment you can use other payment gateways or define such confirmation mode like – confirmation by admin. Using this mode your guest will get email with payment details to confirm the reservation. You will track all transactions and change status of bookings manually.
Thank you for your interest.
Thank you for your prompt response, I would like to propose an extra money to add the culqi system soon, it is really very important for my clients in latin america, tell me how much money would be and in what time they would do it, preferably as soon as possible. send me quote to [email protected], or reply me by this means thanks again for your kind response.
Hi,
Thank you for your reply. We’re working on new features at the moment
and will finalize them in about 2 weeks. Then we might review your
request about Culqi payment gateway. We’ll contact you with terms once
we get any news on this. Thank you.
Hi there,
Is it possible to have services charges for children as well as adults? I need to be able to charge for both. And how would I go about bedding configuration if the guest has the option to have the vacation rental home (2 bedrooms) setup as queen bed and king bed or queen bed and twin beds?
Thanks
Hi Jen,
Thank you for your question. We have already added request to optimize ‘Children’ parameter and collect feedbacks at the moment. This is rather controversial question as there are numerous rules in different accommodation establishments – some do not divide guests for adults/persons at all, some define children till 7 years, others till 17. That’s why we appreciate your feedback you provided.
As there is no ready solution yet you can try hiding Children parameter by means of CSS and edit translation of Adults to Guests/Persons/etc. You can use Poedit or Loco Translate plugin to edit translation easily.
Feel free to contact our support team if you need our assistance.
I wonder, if there’s a black list option? Where a booking done by a previously known troublesome clients would be put on hold for a review by staff before accepting or rejecting the booking?
Hi Jan,
Thank you for your question however there is no black-list option in a plugin. This is rather custom request however we will track similar inquiries to see whether it is really required. Thank you for your feedback.
It might seem strange at first, but it’s a real request by one of my clients whose family’s been running a successful hotel for last 25 years. They’ve got a policy, that if a problematic clients wants to come back, they tell him/her that they’re fully booked. They asked me to implement an automatic function that would do that.
Good morning,
I would like to know if your i could sell gift voucher for my rooms with your plugin ?
They would not be linked to a date, as the person receiving the voucher would then contact us to make the booking (or maybe use a unique code to make the reservation free for them).
If you don’t have that option, I think i could use a different plugin altogether to sell these Voucher, but it would be harder for me to do (in that case, would you have anything in mind you could recommand ?)
Have a good week end,
Henri (hopefully a future customer 🙂
PS : I tryed your “contact us” form and received a “Mail delivery failed: returning message to sender” so i’m not sure that you received it, if you didn’t, that’s something you might want to inverstigate.
Hi Henri! So far, we don’t have any specific ‘gift voucher’ feature, but we have coupon codes! It means you can provide a hand-crafted discount on any room with any discount percent (even 100%), so it should work! It won’t be linked to a date if you set it so in the settings.
Also, please check your email inbox – we’ve sent you the screenshot with the discount code backoffice settings.
Please let us know if you have any further questions!
Hi i’ve bought another theme that i really like the design of it is there any possibility to integrate your plugin in my theme? Can i hire someone to do that?
Thanks
Hi Nuno,
Thanks for your question. Hotel booking plugin is compatible with all WordPress themes and uses its design. That is it was not styled to fit certain themes – it uses styles of your theme so it will look natural at your site.
When is the new update available?
Hi Michelle,
It has been released few days ago. You can get at at your account. You can email us if you need assistance with plugin update.
Can you please send me an email. I’ve got problems with that.
Unfortunately I can not see your email to contact you to. Please submit a request to our support team
Hi there,
How can I go about adding a new payment gateway to this plugin? Unfortunately in my country we only have support for a single gateway; so I can’t use any of the default gateways you supplied.
Hi Vernon! Thanks for your interest in our plugin. What gateway exactly are you referring to? Over time, we’ll be adding new payment gateways, but not sure which ones yet (as different people ask for different gateways, so more likely we’ll choose the most popular ones). At the moment, to add any extra payment gateway that is not listed on this page, you’ll need developer’s help as the process will require programming knowledge to modify the code.
Thanks for getting back to me. In South Africa we only currently have PayU as a gateway (and from my understanding this only works here). I am a developer, and would like to add the gateway myself. Is there anything I need to know in regards with how your plugin is structured to add a gateway or is it similar to adding one for something like Woocommerce? By the way, I have already bought a copy of this, it’s really great!
Hi Vernon,
Yes, it is possible add custom payment gateway if you are skilled in coding. Unfortunately we do not provide customization offers however you can also email us if you need some tips.
Vernon, did you come right with integrating PayU or any of the SA payment gateways? I bought plugin and developed website without
realizing it cant integrate other payment gateways, I’m desperate!
Good day, I would like to use this for a Group hotel website. Thus need the ability to do bookings for different hotels in different locations. Is this possible? Do i just setup the different hotels as categories? or what would be the best solution?
Hello! Very interested this question!
Hi Jana,
Thank you for your question. We’d recommend to install individual WordPress website for each Hotel. You can do it either installing sites to subfolders or setting up Multi-site Network with subsites (like is arranged at plugin live demo)
Hello. I’ve reviewed the Release Notes. Where can we see the dates for each release? I want to see how active development is.
Thanks,
Ryan
Hi Ryan,
Unfortunately we did not record time/date of each release. Actually plugin update frequency depends on scope of work for adding a new feature. Usually we release an update for Hotel Booking plugin once in a month.
How can I give a price for a separate child and adult??
What is the last version number of plugin??
Hi,
You can always check plugin version at Release Notes page.
Hi Im looking into this booking system. I want to know can I set prices per person for the rooms? Also can I set the minimum stay option for only some rooms instead of them all? Does this have an Admin feature too?
Hi Sarah,
Thank you for your questions. You can set price for Rooms (accommodation types) currently and not for quantity of persons. You can just set capacity of room (accommodation types) quantity of adults and children and set rate for it. We’ll keep your request in mind.
You can also test plugin functionality registering a demo.
I want to know if this plugin supports “specific rates” depending on the number of days they book. For example: a hotel room should reflect a regular price for 7 days or more (cheaper price), another regular price for 6 days or less (more expensive price). We don’t want to do season rates, holiday rates, etc. Just as specified in my previous statements. Is this something that is available with this plugin?
Hi Orlan,
Thank you for your interest. Unfortunately the functionality you described is not available in the plugin yet. But we appreciate your idea and I’ve already added it to features list. We’ll try to apply it within further updates.
Ok, Since we like your plugin with all other features, is this something we can add (customize) on the plugin without having any issues/errors? Is your plugin easy to customize?
Hi Orlan,
We would not recommend to customize plugin because you will loose your modifications if new version (without this feature yet) is available. But if you are good in coding and do not need updated version with new options you can edit its functionality.
Hi Orlan,
We are happy to notify you that the feature that you have requested has been implemented with the latest update of the MotoPress Hotel Booking plugin (2.7.3). Thank you for helping us make the plugin better!
Now you can set up automatic discounts based on the number of booked dates. The feature is described in detail with screenshots in this article – https://motopress.com/blog/weekly-monthly-rates-hotel-booking-wp-plugin/
Hi. I have version 0.1.4 of this plugin. I want change check in and check out date form to dd/mm/yyy. I cant do this in admin panel . How can i do this?
Hi Changku,
You use out of date version. You can set date format in latest version for sure.
How i can get new version?
Hi there,
As far as I understand you got our plugin integrated into third party theme. Then you should try to contact your theme provider and ask them to update plugin at your theme. You see your theme provider is responsible for plugin update.
If you got plugin by purchasing it at our website you are able to get latest version at your account.
hi can this plug in connect direct from the booking calendar to our OTA’s like Agoda, Booking.com, hostel world, expedia ect? so it will be a direct booking if the room is available and we will not get over bookings. We are looking to a replacement system from our hotel booking software we use. Thanks for your time
Hi D’Arcy,
Thank you for your question. Unfortunately we do not have access to API of solutions you mentioned. Could you email us more details about your request? We’ll gather information to work in this direction.
Hi – is it possible to book multiple rooms with this plugin?
Hi there,
Thank you for your question. Using current version of plugin you can book multiple rooms one by one. But we are working on the ability to book multiple rooms for one time at this moment. This feature should be available in further updates. We’ll notify you here when it is released.
Hi, you can book multiple rooms now.
Your blog is really helpful. Thank you.
I found out All in One Reservation which is suitable for every kind of booking and reservation.
Hi, I am interested in the plugin. How many downloads do you have?
Hi Marlen,
Thank you for your interest. Unfortunately we can not say exact number as Hotel Booking plugin is available at other marketplaces. Moreover its early versions has been integrated into third party themes.
Hi, Thank you for the reply
Can u connect it to an API from cubilis?
Hi Marc,
Thank you for your question. We’ll review your request and see if it’s really in demand and possible to add.
I can add custom text but how can I add tax amount to Total?
Hello,
I’m sorry but we are working to enable flexible tax rates. There is no tax option available.
How can I set tax rate when check out?
Hello Jayson,
Thank you for your question. We are working to enable flexible tax rates. We hope to release it soon.
Currently you can add custom text to Booking Confirmation page where you can inform that indicated pricing does not include tax.
can I request a customizable requirements for this add-on
Hello,
You can email us all the features you would like to see in this plugin and we’ll review what can be added within next updates. Thank you for your interest.
