Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Modern Hotel Booking — Direct Booking Engine, Availability Calendar & Vacation Rental PMS

Yes. The Free edition on WordPress.org is a complete, working reservation system with no booking caps. Out of the box, you can accept reservations using Pay on Arrival (cash or card terminal at your front desk), Direct Bank Wire Transfer (IBAN / BIC / SWIFT), Revolut Pay (payment link and QR code), and WhatsApp Click-to-Chat requests. You can also record front-desk payments manually in the verified folio ledger. Online card gateways (Stripe, PayPal, and Braintree) are only needed if you want automated online card processing in the Starter or Pro editions.

Free Edition (WordPress.org): * Direct booking engine with unlimited room types and physical units * Progressive availability calendar (0 KB jQuery) with slide-out checkout drawer * Offline payments: Pay on Arrival, Bank Wire (IBAN/BIC), Revolut Pay, and WhatsApp * Passwordless Guest Self-Service Portal ([mhbo_guest_portal]) and printable vouchers * Guest CRM Directory with React DataViews and slide-out profile dossiers * 2-column front-desk manual reservation workstation with repeat guest auto-fill * Live Email Delivery Health Inspector (SMTP, SPF, DMARC) with 14 notification templates * 8 native Gutenberg blocks, 11 universal shortcodes, and 3 Elementor widgets * AI Concierge Core with 10 WordPress 7.1 abilities and MCP server Starter Edition (Commercial Entry): * All Free features plus online card processing: Stripe Elements, PayPal Smart Buttons, and Braintree Drop-in * Dynamic PDF & HTML guest tax invoices with custom property headers * Multi-mode tax engine (VAT inclusive vs Sales Tax exclusive, split accommodation/extras rates) * Child occupancy pricing by age tiers (ages 1 to 17) and same-day turnover buffers * Doubled AI Concierge capacity (60 req/hr) and voice features Pro Edition (Complete Enterprise Hospitality Suite): * All Starter features plus Automated 2-Way iCal Calendar Sync (RFC 5545 channel synchronization) * Upfront deposit collection and automated scheduled balance payment links * Fullscreen Front-Desk Tablet Kiosk workstation with live interactive Gantt tape chart * Multi-room group reservations with sibling room linking and split folios * Daily housekeeping turnover manifests with 1-tap room status toggles * Dynamic yield pricing: seasonal rate schedules, visual calendar override editor, weekend multipliers * Automated post-stay guest review requests and marketing emailer * Hospitality revenue analytics: ADR, RevPAR, TRevPAR, and ALOS reporting * AI Concierge Pro: 17 abilities, Google Hotel Center XML feeds, and neural voice synthesis

Automated two-way iCal synchronization (importing and exporting .ics calendar feeds every 30 minutes with RFC 5545 conflict detection and automatic orphan cleanup) is available in Modern Hotel Booking Pro. In the Free and Starter editions, availability is managed directly on your WordPress site and through the front-desk manual reservation workstation.

No. Modern Hotel Booking is engineered with 0 KB of jQuery and uses Front-Heavy Progressive Calendar Hydration. Rather than outputting thousands of calendar elements into your page HTML, the server renders an immediate 4-month window for quick initial page loads (reducing initial HTML size by ~70%), then quietly hydrates the remaining 2-year booking horizon in the background during idle browser moments.

Add the [mhbo_guest_portal] shortcode to any page and set it as your portal page in Hotel Booking > Settings > General. Guests access their reservation using a secure 1-click magic link in their confirmation email or by entering their Booking ID and email. They can view their personalized greeting, stay countdown, itemized USALI billing ledger, Wi-Fi details, print an ink-friendly travel voucher, cancel an unpaid stay in one click, or submit a date modification request.

Shared WordPress hosting often uses default PHP mail() configurations that fail modern email authentication checks. Modern Hotel Booking includes a built-in Email Delivery Health Inspector under Hotel Booking > Settings > Emails. Its live diagnostic grid inspects your mail transport (SMTP vs standard mail), sender domain alignment, and live SPF and DMARC DNS records, paired with a 1-Click Test Email Probe so you can confirm inbox delivery before your first guest arrives.

The AI Concierge is completely optional and can be turned on or off anytime. In the Free version, it connects directly using your own API key from Google Gemini (which offers a generous free API tier through Google AI Studio), OpenAI, Anthropic, OpenRouter, or the native WordPress 7.0+ AI Connector. It answers guest questions about availability, pricing, amenities, and house rules with interactive cards, with zero monthly middleware fees.

Yes. Search "Hotel" in the WordPress Block Inserter to use any of the 8 native Gutenberg blocks, or use the 3 native Elementor widgets and 11 universal shortcodes across block themes, classic themes, Bricks, Divi, and Beaver Builder. For multilingual properties, the plugin includes native compatibility with Polylang, WPML, qTranslate-XT, and Bogo, along with a built-in translation table for room names and email notifications.

All booking and guest data is stored locally in your WordPress database. The plugin integrates natively with WordPress Core's Export Personal Data and Erase Personal Data tools, provides explicit GDPR checkout consent checkboxes, and bridges with the WP Consent API and Complianz to ensure local storage is only used after appropriate consent.
