The best booking plugin and integration. Thanks for support

The plugin is one step away from 5 stars and being the best hotel booking plugin. However, it lacks one vital feature that makes it hard to choose. The feature is not available in the paid version either — the iCal sync for calendars. Without this feature, I cannot use the plugin and had to choose another one with much less quality in the interface. For hotel management, where nowadays we use many booking channels, we definitely need calendar sync. I would gladly buy this plugin if iCal sync appears and, of course, rate it 5 stars, as it has the potential to be the best WP hotel booking plugin (note: the Channels Management option is not something that I consider an alternative to iCal sync).

I compared ALL the plugins and channel managers there are on the market for booking accommodation and my main criteria was functionality and price as well as the channel manager with API connection. Yes, It took me weeks and I finally chose VikBooking. I used it for 2 months now during our busiest summer season and it didn’t disappoint. The tech support is great, functionality is great and it works great, translations work great and you can translate your own thing. I’m happy with all the extras set-up, invoices, complex children pricing, coupons, cron jobs, task manager and many other things. The price is unbeatable(only one competitor comes close to it), and it pays off within a year or less compared to other competitors that have big monthly fees.

The only things to improve on are (for us personally as we are not a hotel but premium cabins): design – it’s very hotel oriented, so we had to tweak the design/colours with CSS codes so it’s more applicable for us. Shortcodes – there is still no sleek shortcode for availability calendar – the one they have is again very hotel-like and unusable. Their payment gateway selection didn’t have any options for the Baltic region so we had to pay the developer to integrate it for us which cost quite a bit, but VikBooking recommended a good developer for integration so it worked out well.

Overall highly recommended!

<font style=”vertical-align: inherit;”><font style=”vertical-align: inherit;”>E’ un buon plugin ma non esente da lacune anche gravi. Una delle cose principali per chi fa il mio mestiere sono i pagamenti ( senza di questi non esistere neanche wordpress ei plugin associati ). Ho acquistato stripe per associarlo a vikbooking. Stripe è completo solo se ha a disposizione un metodo di pagamento dell’ospite. Purtroppo vikbooking al momento della prenotazione anche se il pagamento va a buon fine e la prenotazione è confermata non permette la memorizzazione dei dati all’interno dell’account di stripe ( anche se lo stesso plugin prevede la memorizzazione attraverso varie spunte ) e questo è grave dal mio punto di vista. Penso che il plugin sia ancora abbasta giovane e deve crescere e sono sicuro che si migliorerà sempre. Ho fatto un abbonamento per un anno e spero di rinnovare ancora</font>. Spero che venga migliorato gli aspetti che sono GLI ADDEBITI SU CARTA E LE PRE-AUTORIZZAZIONI </font>
