== Description ==

Create your hostel, small hotel, or BnB site with Wordpress:

###Features###

- Manage your booking mode: accept paypal, manual payments, or don't allow online booking
- Manage email notifications
- Manage rooms, beds, and prices
- Set unavailable dates when you are on vacations or just don't want to accept guests in some rooms
- Manage bookings, process payments, contact customers
- List your rooms by using shortcodes

There are more and better features + premium support in the PRO version. Check it on our new site: [wp-hostel.com](http://wp-hostel.com "wp-hostel.com") 

###Shortcodes###

- [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.

For translating the plugin check the Help page under the Hostel menu in your administration.
