Ethereal Booking

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.
• 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.
• 4 languages: English, Shqip, Italiano, Deutsch, 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.
