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

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, double room plus breakfast rate, etc.)
Your guests will choose the preferable one of the selected room type.
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.

The frontend and backend of the plugin are professionally 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.

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.

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.
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.
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?

*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. 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.
