What it does
Rental owners often rely on third-party booking systems that take a commission and keep guests off their own website. This theme pairs a ready-made rental design with the MotoPress Hotel Booking plugin, which handles online accommodation booking, property management and OTA channel management in one place. You can manage unlimited properties and bookings, set seasonal pricing, accept online payments and send automatic email notifications to guests.
On the design side, you start from one of several pre-built demos for hotels, B&Bs, hostels and holiday homes, then adjust it in the WordPress block editor using custom Getwid blocks for maps, testimonials, sliders and Instagram galleries. The Customizer handles color schemes, and you can pick vertical or horizontal headers with full-width or boxed layouts. It suits a single boutique B&B as well as a business running several rental properties.
Best for
- Bed and breakfasts and boutique hotels taking direct bookings
- Hostels and holiday home rentals
- Managers running several vacation rental properties
