Ethereal Booking turns your WordPress website into a booking website for a room, an apartment, a villa or any rental. Guests book directly on your website, and the calendar stays in sync with Booking.com and Airbnb, so the same dates are never sold twice.

Features

Booking.com and Airbnb sync (iCal): bookings from the platforms block the dates on your website, and website bookings block them on the platforms.
3-step booking form: Dates Details Confirm, on phone, tablet and computer.
Payments: pay at the property or by bank transfer (the bank details are sent to the guest).
Property page: gallery with lightbox, details, prices and the availability calendar – nothing to set up.
Special prices: a different nightly price for a month, for weekends or for chosen dates (Christmas, an event) – for one year or every year until you change it. Added with three simple questions and shown on a calendar. Guests see the price under every date, and a stay is charged night by night.
Rooms page with search: dates, guests and type, only free dates with the total price.
Automatic emails for you and the guest: request, confirmation, payment, cancellation.
5 languages: English, Français, Italiano, Deutsch, Shqip, for guests and for the admin.
Shortcodes to show the search bar, the properties grid or the booking form on any page.
No commission, no account, no tracking: the bookings and the guests are yours.

Ethereal Booking Pro

Everything in Ethereal Booking is free and works without limits, for any number of properties. A separate plugin, Ethereal Booking Pro (not included here), adds:

Card (Stripe) and PayPal payments inside the booking form, the full amount or a deposit
The calendar of all properties on one timeline
Editable email templates
Updates and email support

Ethereal Booking Pro is available at plugins.etherealwebsolution.com. It is installed next to this plugin; your properties, bookings and settings stay as they are.

External services

This plugin connects to other websites only for the calendar sync:

Booking.com, Airbnb or any iCal calendar – the plugin downloads the iCal links you paste on a property (to block the dates booked there), and those platforms download your property’s iCal link (to block the dates booked on your website). The iCal data contains only dates and a booking reference. Booking.com: Terms · Privacy. Airbnb: Terms · Privacy.
