פקודות מקרו

  • [wphostel-list] will display a table with your available rooms. A date selector on the top lets the user choose dates of their visit and then the rooms list is updated. If you have enabled booking in your Hostel settings page, the table will also show "Book" button when appropriate. The button will automaically load the booking form. You can pass the attribute "max_days" to specify the maximum day interval that can be selected to show the table.

  • [wphostel-booking] displays a generic booking form with a drop-down selector for choosing room, and a date selector. If you use the [wphostel-list] shortcode you most probably do not need this one because the booking form is automatically generated.

שאלות נפוצות

Can I import bookings from sites like Booking.com etc?

Yes. Each room supports multiple iCal URLs. You can get the iCal URL from your control panel at the sites that provide it. Most popular booking sites do provide you with iCal URL

I have problems with receiving emails

Hostel just sends the emails to your WP installaiton so if emails are not delivered this is most likely a problem with your installation. We suggest installing a free plugin like WP Mail SMTP or Postman SMTP to test and improve your emails delivery. Hostel will automatically send its emails through any SMTP plugin you have installed.

Well I've spent hours on the big booking plugins out there. And each of them have proved SO complicated when trying to simply allow people to book a bed or bunk in a hostel – NOT book the whole room. FINALLY- here's a sweet and simply plugin that does it all- AND it works with Elementor. They also keep updating it so it has all the bells and whistles you'd want for a hostel. 10 out of 10 to the developers!

It is nice, compact and functional but I don't know if I would be ready to pay 77 USD for a plugin that doesn't support rates, I mean do you know that most of the places are working seasonally and they need to change the price of a bed based on the season? So when you will add this feature I'll think about give you a better review. EDIT: After the nice reply from the support team to my review I decided to give 5 star.

What I like is how the admin controls of this plugin is not overwhelming, but that's it! It gets very basic, organizing content and images can be like meh… okay. The short code didn't work for me to top it off. I'm giving it a generous 2 stars, needs way more improvement.

The Hostel Pro plug-in allows our hostel to sell and manage our rooms on-line. By linking it up with PayPal, we can take a partial booking fee straight away and the plugin emails our guests how much to pay when they get here. (you can also take full payment via PayPal if you want, this is just our method of booking rooms) Any problems/ issues I have had were quickly solved by emailing them and I hope more wordpress users realize how helpful this plug-in is for small hotels or hostels all over the world.
