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.

Accept payments: require a deposit at the time of booking or charge the entire stay. Advanced room settings: manage rooms, beds, and prices. Seasonal prices: increase reservations by offering discounts on off-seasons. Mark a room non cancellable and non refundable. Room extras. Offer discount codes (coupons). List your rooms by using shortcodes. Email notifications. REST API (new!). How it works? WP Hotelier allows you to create two types of rooms: standard or with rates. A room with rates (variable room) lets you define variations of a room where each variation may have a different price, required deposit or conditions. A room represents a type of room or accommodation available at your hotel. For example, if your hotel offers three “double rooms” with the same price, amenities, etc., just create only one room and set the stock quantity to 3. Reservations are created when a guest completes the booking process or when the Administrator (or the Hotel Manager) adds a reservation manually. When a guest makes a reservation, the availability (stock) of the room is reduced automatically. Three different pricing options are supported out of the box: global price, different price for each day of the week and seasonal prices. And a convenient booking calendar for hotel administrators it’s included in the core. Documentation Getting Started FAQs Extensions & Themes Advanced Extensions Something missing?
