<strong>Hotel Booking → Dashboard</strong> – at-a-glance stats, occupancy and recent bookings (React).

Quotel Hotel Booking is an all-in-one hotel booking plugin for WordPress built for hotels, resorts, B&Bs, guest houses, vacation rentals and any property that takes online room reservations. It ships a custom Rooms catalog, bookings database, smart pricing, availability rules and a WooCommerce checkout integration so guests pay through your existing store while staff manage everything from a clean React-powered dashboard.

Designed to be production-ready out of the box: install, activate the setup wizard, add rooms, drop a shortcode on a page and start exploring the system.

Free vs. Pro

The free plugin gives you the complete hotel infrastructure — rooms, taxonomies, calendar UI, dashboard, reports, settings, all shortcodes and the full REST surface for read access. You can browse the booking form on the front end and the admin dashboard / calendar / bookings / reports screens in preview mode to see exactly how the live system looks.

To accept real online bookings, edit the calendar, create manual bookings, run automated emails and CSV exports, you need Quotel Hotel Booking Pro installed alongside this free plugin. License activation lives at Hotel Booking License / Get Pro.

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).

  • PHP 7.4 or higher.
  • WooCommerce is recommended for online payments – the booking checkout flow is built around it.

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.
