Use the shortcodes to install a list of your rooms or to add the booking code to a post or page where you have described your rooms. Set up unavailable dates if you have such. Shortcodes [wphostel-list] will display a table with your available rooms. A date selector on the top lets the user choose dates of their visit and then the rooms list is updated. If you have enabled booking in your Hostel settings page, the table will also show “Book” button when appropriate. The button will automaically load the booking form. You can pass the attribute “max_days” to specify the maximum day interval that can be selected to show the table. [wphostel-booking] displays a generic booking form with a drop-down selector for choosing room, and a date selector. If you use the [wphostel-list] shortcode you most probably do not need this one because the booking form is automatically generated.
