It ships a custom **Rooms** catalog, **bookings database**,** smart pricing**, **availability rules** and a clean React-powered dashboard — all free. Designed to be production-ready out of the box: install, activate the **setup wizard**, add rooms, drop a shortcode on a page and start taking bookings. #### Free vs. Pro **Everything is free** except online customer payment. With the free plugin you get real bookings, manual bookings, calendar editing, reports, CSV export, emails, rooms, shortcodes and the full admin UI. **Online WooCommerce checkout** (customer pay-now, product sync, order lifecycle) requires [Quotel Hotel Booking Pro](https://www.tarikul.top/plugins/quotel-hotel-booking/) with an active license. Activate it under **Hotel Booking License / Get Pro**. Pro pricing: **$49 / 1 year**, **$69 / 3 years**, **$150 lifetime**. [Plugin homepage »](https://www.tarikul.top/plugins/quotel-hotel-booking/) #### Why choose Quotel Hotel Booking * **Hotel reservation system** in one plugin – rooms, bookings, calendar, pricing, reports. * **WooCommerce-native online payments** – use any WooCommerce gateway (Stripe, PayPal, bank transfer, COD, etc.). * **React-powered booking form** – fast, accessible, mobile-first checkout flow. * **REST API first** – every screen is driven by `qhb/v1` so you can build custom integrations. * **No lock-in** – open code, GPLv2, translation-ready, runs on any standard WordPress host. #### Core features **Rooms & content** * Custom post type `qhb_room` with archive support (pretty URLs under `/rooms/` by default). * Taxonomies for **room types** and **amenities** (categorise and filter rooms). * Rich room editor with featured image, gallery, pricing meta and a dedicated ** single-room** layout including an optional gallery modal and a “Continue to booking” CTA. **Bookings & availability** * Custom tables for **bookings**, **per-day availability**, **pricing rules**, ** extra services** and **booking-service** links. * Date-range availability checks; supports multiple units per room type. * Guest and logged-in booking flows; settings for guest booking, required phone and cancellation windows. * **Manual bookings** for staff (admin capability) via the REST API. **Smart pricing** * Base and weekend rates per room. * Optional date-range **pricing rules**. * **Tax** and **long-stay discounts** (weekly / monthly) via Settings. * Server-side **pricing endpoint** so the booking summary always matches what is actually charged. **WooCommerce integration** * Each room syncs to a **catalog-hidden variable WooCommerce product** with Standard/ Weekend rate variations. * Bookings are linked to **WooCommerce order IDs**. * Order status drives booking lifecycle (pending payment confirmed; cancelled/ refunded released). * Optional **“Pay now”** link in the pending-payment email using the WooCommerce order pay URL. **Admin experience** * Top-level **Hotel Booking** menu: Welcome, Dashboard, Bookings, Calendar, Settings. * **Setup wizard** on first activation: hotel basics, booking rules, notifications, optional WooCommerce auto-install. * **Booking calendar** – month and timeline-style views, room filter, booking density indicator and per-day management. * **Reports** REST endpoints: dashboard stats, revenue, bookings, occupancy, room performance, guest analytics, **CSV export**. **Guest experience** * Shortcode-driven React apps for the entire reservation journey. * Compact **booking bar** for hero sections and home pages with Flatpickr date picker. * Deep-link friendly URLs with `qhb_room`, `check_in`, `check_out`, `adults`, ` children` and `room_type` query args. **Security & roles** * Custom capability `manage_hotel_bookings` (granted to administrators on activation). * REST routes use nonces and dedicated permission callbacks for public vs. admin operations. * All input is sanitized; output is escaped; SQL is built with `$wpdb->prepare()`. #### Available shortcodes Drop any of these shortcodes on a page or post. Default pages are auto-created on first activation if they do not already exist. ``` [qhb_booking_form] ``` Renders the multi-step React booking wizard (search pick a room guest details summary checkout). Mounts to `#qhb-booking-root`. Best placed on the **Book a Room** page. ``` [qhb_room_search] ``` Renders the filterable room search and results grid. Mounts to `#qhb-search-root`. Best placed on a **Search Rooms** page. ``` [qhb_my_bookings] ``` Lists the current user’s bookings (logged-in only). Mounts to `#qhb-mybookings-root`. Best placed on a **My Account / My Bookings** page. ``` [qhb_booking_bar] ``` A compact horizontal booking strip with check-in / check-out date pickers, rooms/ adults / children counters, room category dropdown and a “Book now” button. Use it inside hero sections, sidebars or the home page. Submitting it deep-links into the page that hosts `[qhb_booking_form]`. Available `[qhb_booking_bar]` attributes: * `redirect` – override the booking page URL. Defaults to the auto-created **Book a Room** page or `/book/`. - Example: `[qhb_booking_bar redirect="https://example.com/reservations/"]` * `button` – override the submit button label. Defaults to “Book now”. - Example: `[qhb_booking_bar button="Check availability"]` #### Backwards compatibility The legacy `[hbm_booking_form]`, `[hbm_room_search]`, `[hbm_my_bookings]` and `[ hbm_booking_bar]` shortcodes from version 1.0.0 are still registered as transparent aliases, so any pages you saved earlier keep working unchanged. The previous REST namespace `hbm/v1` is also still served alongside the new `qhb/v1`. #### Technical snapshot * **Text domain:** `quotel-hotel-booking` (translation-ready; works with Loco Translate, WPML, Polylang and standard `.po` / `.mo` files). * **REST namespace:** `qhb/v1` – e.g. `/wp-json/qhb/v1/rooms`, `/bookings`, `/settings`,`/ pricing`, `/availability`, `/calendar/...`, `/reports/...`. * **Custom post type:** `qhb_room` (rewrite slug `rooms`). * **Taxonomies:** `qhb_room_type`, `qhb_amenity`. * **Database tables (using your `$wpdb->prefix`):** `qhb_bookings`, `qhb_pricing_rules`,` qhb_availability`, `qhb_extra_services`, `qhb_booking_services`. * **Capability:** `manage_hotel_bookings` (assigned to administrators on activation). #### Requirements * WordPress **5.9** or higher. * PHP **7.4** or higher. * **WooCommerce** is recommended for online payments – the booking checkout flow is built around it. #### Use cases * Single hotel or boutique hotel booking system. * Resort with several room categories. * B&B / guest house reservation form. * Vacation rental landing page with check-in / check-out widget. * Inn or homestay running on WordPress + WooCommerce. ### Privacy The plugin stores booking data you collect from guests (name, email, phone, dates, party size, optional notes) in the WordPress database and may associate each record with a WooCommerce **order ID** for payment tracking. Treat this data according to your privacy policy and applicable law (GDPR, CCPA, etc.). Email delivery uses WordPress’ `wp_mail()` facilities. No data is sent to third parties by the plugin itself. ## Screenshots [⌊Hotel Booking → Dashboard – at-a-glance stats, occupancy and recent bookings ( React).⌉⌊Hotel Booking → Dashboard – at-a-glance stats, occupancy and recent bookings( React).⌉[ **Hotel Booking Dashboard** – at-a-glance stats, occupancy and recent bookings ( React).

Upload the `quotel-hotel-booking` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`, or install the ZIP via **Plugins Add New Upload Plugin**. 2. Activate **Quotel Hotel Booking** on the **Plugins** screen. 3. Follow the onboarding flow at **Hotel Booking Welcome** (and install / activate WooCommerce if prompted). 4. Visit **Hotel Booking Settings** and confirm currency, check-in / check-out times, tax, emails and booking rules. 5. Add rooms under **Hotel Rooms** in the admin menu (set base price, weekend price, capacity, amenities). 6. (Optional) Drop `[qhb_booking_bar]` into your home page hero and `[qhb_booking_form]` on a booking page (auto-created on first activation). 7. Visit **Settings Permalinks** and click **Save** to refresh rewrite rules if `/ rooms/` URLs return 404. ## FAQ ### Which shortcodes does the plugin provide? Four shortcodes: `[qhb_booking_form]`, `[qhb_room_search]`, `[qhb_my_bookings]` and `[qhb_booking_bar]`. The legacy `hbm_*` versions still work as aliases. See ** Description Available shortcodes** for parameters. ### Where do guests pay for their booking? With **Quotel Hotel Booking Pro**, guests pay through **WooCommerce** (any gateway). Without Pro, guests can still complete a booking and you collect payment offline. ### Do I have to use WooCommerce? No. The free plugin works without WooCommerce — bookings are confirmed and you handle payment separately. WooCommerce + Pro is only needed for online customer checkout. ### What URL pattern is used for single rooms? Rooms use the `qhb_room` post type; permalinks default to the `rooms` rewrite slug( e.g. `yoursite.com/rooms/deluxe-king/`). If links 404 after install, visit **Settings Permalinks** and click **Save**. ### Can I block dates, override prices or add seasonal rates? Yes. Use the admin **Calendar** (per room) to close dates or override the nightly price. Date-range pricing rules and weekly / monthly long-stay discounts are configured under **Settings**. Closed days and overrides are stored in the `qhb_availability` and `qhb_pricing_rules` tables. ### Is guest checkout supported? Yes, when enabled in **Settings Booking**. You can also require a phone number or restrict booking to logged-in users only. ### Does the plugin support multiple units per room type? Yes. Each room can be configured with multiple bookable units; availability checks decrement only the requested unit count and the booking remains “available” while units remain. ### How do I translate the plugin? Use the text domain **`quotel-hotel-booking`**. Generate or edit language files with [Loco Translate](https://wordpress.org/plugins/loco-translate/), Poedit or WPML, then place MO files under `wp-content/languages/plugins/`. ### What is the difference between the free plugin and Pro? The **free plugin** includes the full hotel booking system: rooms, bookings, calendar editing, manual bookings, reports, CSV export, emails, shortcodes and admin tools. Guests can book; payment is collected offline. **Quotel Hotel Booking Pro** unlocks **online payments** only: * WooCommerce checkout for customers. * Room WooCommerce product auto-sync. * Pay-now links and order-status booking lifecycle. * Daily booking digest and priority auto-updates. Pro pricing: **$49 / 1 year**, **$69 / 3 years**, **$150 lifetime**. Activate under **Hotel Booking License / Get Pro**. ### I had real bookings before 1.1.0. Will I lose them? No. Existing bookings remain in the database and continue to render in the admin** Bookings** list. ### Will my old shortcodes still work after updating from 1.0.0? Yes. All `[hbm_*]` shortcodes are kept as transparent aliases that forward to the new `[qhb_*]` versions, and the `hbm/v1` REST namespace is still served alongside` qhb/v1`. On first load after the update, a one-time migration renames the database tables, custom post type, taxonomies, options and order meta keys from `hbm_*` to` qhb_*`. ### Does uninstall remove the booking data? No. Deactivating the plugin does not drop the custom tables or delete bookings. If you need a clean removal, back up first and remove the booking-related tables and options manually. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Quotel Hotel Booking – Hotel Booking, Reservation & Room Management for WordPress” is open source software.

The WooCommerce order records full price, deposit due and balance, and the booking summary shows the amount due now. * New: **Coupon codes** — apply WooCommerce coupons (percentage / fixed, with expiry and min/max spend validation) on the booking summary; discount flows through pricing, booking and the order. * New: **Request (approval) booking mode** — hold bookings for staff approval before payment. Guests and admins are notified; new Approve / Decline actions appear in the admin Bookings list with a dedicated “Request” status filter. * New: **Display settings now active** — rooms-per-page pagination on the room grid, selectable gallery style (grid / slider / masonry) on single-room pages, and optional guest reviews via WordPress comments. * New: **Custom email templates** — editable confirmation and cancellation subject/ message with placeholders (`{guest_name}`, `{booking_id}`, `{room_name}`, `{check_in}`,`{ check_out}`, `{total_price}`, `{hotel_name}`, and more). Leave blank to use the built-in branded designs. * New: **Advanced integrations tab** — Twilio **SMS** confirmation texts, plus an **iCalendar (.ics) feed** for iCal export and Google Calendar subscription( tokenized feed URL shown in settings). * New: Daily **check-in reminder** emails and configurable **From name / From address** applied to all notifications. * Improved: server-side enforcement of minimum / maximum booking nights, and per- field sanitization when saving settings via REST. * New REST routes: `POST /qhb/v1/bookings/{id}/approve` and `POST /qhb/v1/bookings/{ id}/decline`; `pricing` / `availability` endpoints and public settings now expose deposit, coupon, booking-mode and display options. #### 1.3.0 * Update: Margin 0 for WordPress 7 issue. #### 1.2.0 * Update: License page updated convert it into react. #### 1.1.0 * New: License page at **Hotel Booking License / Get Pro** with activation, status display, expiry tracking and one-click deactivation. * New: Pro detection helpers (`qhb_is_pro_plugin_active()`, `qhb_is_pro_licensed()`,` qhb_can_use_pro_mutations()`) consumed by REST gates, admin React and the public booking form. * New: Preview mode for the front-end booking form, admin Bookings list, dashboard stats and calendar when running without an active Pro license. * Gated: real booking creation, manual bookings, cancellation, calendar editing( close dates / availability / bulk update) and CSV export now require Quotel Hotel Booking Pro with an active license. The corresponding REST endpoints return a` qhb_pro_required` (HTTP 402) error when called without a license. * Gated: WooCommerce auto-product-sync on room save and the order-status booking- status pipeline are Pro-only. * Improved: license-aware admin notices on every Hotel Booking screen. * Improved: every `qhbAdmin` / `qhbPublic` localized object now carries `proPluginActive`,` proLicensed`, `upgradeUrl` and `licenseStatus` so any extension can react to the licence state. * Daily WP-Cron license re-verification (`qhb_daily_license_check`) keeps the local status in sync with the QueueCommerce server. * No data loss: existing bookings remain readable in the admin even without Pro; disabling Pro flips write paths off but read access is preserved. * Rebrand: unified internal prefix from `hbm_` to `qhb_` to match the plugin slug. * New `[qhb_booking_bar]` shortcode for hero / home-page booking strips with Flatpickr date pickers. * New `[qhb_booking_bar]` attributes: `redirect` (booking page URL) and `button`( submit label). * All public shortcodes renamed to `[qhb_booking_form]`, `[qhb_room_search]`, `[ qhb_my_bookings]`, `[qhb_booking_bar]`. * REST namespace renamed to `qhb/v1`.
