Quick Start Guide

1. Go to Hotel Booking > Room Types — Create your room types (e.g., Double Room, Triple Room). Set capacity, base price, and all other options.
2. Go to Hotel Booking > Rooms — Add the actual rooms and assign them to a room type. You can set custom prices or availability status here.
3. (Optional) Go to Hotel Booking > Pricing Rules — Add seasonal pricing (fixed amount or percentage).
4. Create or choose a page for bookings and add one of these:
   • Gutenberg block: Modern Hotel Booking (or Hotel Booking Form Preview)
   • Shortcode: [mhbo_booking_form] (recommended) or [modern_hotel_booking]
   • Or use the widget
5. Go to Hotel Booking > Settings — IMPORTANT: Select your Booking Page from the dropdown and save. Configure any other options (emails, currency, etc.) and save again.
6. (Optional) For individual room pages, use the Room Availability Calendar block or shortcode [mhbo_room_calendar room_id="1"] (replace 1 with the actual room ID).

Once set up, guests can search and create bookings from your dedicated booking page or from individual room pages. The system shows real-time availability and calculates prices instantly.
