This WordPress hotel reservation plugin handles the entire guest journey from first question to final confirmation.

Create unlimited room types (Deluxe Suites, Standard Rooms, Family Cottages) and assign individual rooms with custom pricing and capacity settings.
Version 2.3.7 introduces **Intelligent Room Splitting**, allowing the engine to optimize room allocations for large groups automatically.

Guests see real-time availability through an interactive calendar. Version 2.3.0 introduced the **diagonal split-day gradient UI**, making check-in/checkout turnover visually clear at a glance. With the new show_calendar attribute, you can now embed a live availability preview directly inside your booking forms.
