WordPress Blocks Theme
The Luviana Hotel Booking WordPress theme works seamlessly with the WordPress block editor and is built from the ground up for these new WordPress editing experiences. Take the best advantage of the new default editor and build a site for your hotel with no coding involved.
Powered by the Getwid Addon
We built this hotel booking theme for WordPress using
the Getwid WordPress Blocks plugin – a free library of additional blocks for the block editor created by our team. Some of the blocks provided by Getwid include such popular ones as Banner block, Image Slider block, Advanced Heading block, Testimonial block, Instagram Feed block, Image Hotspot Block and many more. You are free to use the extra blocks too and easily customize the look of any page or post visually in the block editor.
Custom Gutenberg Blocks for Hotel-related Content
We created custom blocks to adapt the Hotel Booking plugin for the Gutenberg Block Editor. They enable you to add and edit rooms, the search form, calendars, services and more property-related content visually in the core WordPress Editor, without shortcodes.
List and Grid Room Layouts
The Luviana hotel booking WordPress theme is pre-packed with different room layouts to help you choose the most suitable one for your property types. You can go with rather classic list layouts, more fancy boxed layout or a columnized minimalist view. The switch is a breeze!
Full and Fixed Width Websites Layouts
Luviana offers several layout modes: the full-width layout allows your content to automatically span the whole width of your screen and creates an immersive UX, while the fixed-width website layout is great for keeping a default structure all the time.
The front-page image slider of the Luviana Hotel Booking WordPress Theme can be easily transformed into a header video or an image slideshow with a video. You can upload your video and set it as a first slide via the WordPress Customizer – it’ll ensure your slideshow or introductory video is not just beautiful but also optimized for better performance thanks to the native WordPress reliance.
Change the Default Color Scheme
By default, you can modify a header text color and a default background color. If you want to completely alter the color scheme of the theme, feel free to change accent colors responsible for buttons and widgets as well as secondary colors for button hovers and decorative elements.
Integrated Online Booking System
No more per-booking commissions or subscription fees: create a directory of your hotel rooms on your own WordPress site and let your guests book them directly from you thanks to the integrated WP Booking system. You get full control over your hotel reservation system and are free to set any pricing or custom booking rules.
Guests can search through all rooms via a dedicated search form, which includes four default fields: arrival/departure date, the number of adults and children. Feel free to shorten it to the check-in and check-out only, rename ‘Adults’ to guests, remove the ‘Children’ field only, state the age of children, etc.
Every room comes with an individual availability calendar, which displays up-to-date information automatically.
Amenities, Bed Types & More
The plugin allows you to add and categorize various data of your properties, including amenities, bed types, view, available services as one database and then assign them to needed accommodations that contain these amenities. To better showcase your property, include a photo gallery and any presentation tours!
You can extend the property search form with any number of your own search fields (location, room type, etc.) to allow your guests to perform a more tailored property search. The same values you add as search fields can be used to display as extra details in the accommodations directory.
Automated and Manual Booking Confirmation
Choose among three ways of processing incoming reservations:
- allow for automatic booking confirmation upon payment;
- automatically send emails with booking confirmation links to your guests;
- review and approve/decline bookings manually from the back-end of your site.
Online or After Arrival Payments
Let your guests securely pay online or upon arrival. Online payments are handled via 6 reliable payment gateways: PayPal, Stripe, Beanstream/Bambora, Braintree and 2Checkout. Additionally, Stripe processes payments via Bancontact, iDEAL, Giropay, SEPA Direct Debit and SOFORT.
You can optionally purchase our custom
WooCommerce Payments addon to enable many more local gateways available through WooCommerce without any tech help, simply in a few clicks.
Bookings Calendar
To easily view all bookings in a handy calendar format, there is a dedicated Bookings Calendar menu. It allows you to see color-coded past and upcoming reservations, filter them by statuses and dates, and more. You can also allow particular staff members to see only calendars, without full access to the site.
Custom Room Rates, Deposits and Discounts
The pricing system is deeply flexible. Charge different prices based on:
- Specific room type conditions (non-refundable, breakfast included).
- Any custom season (summer, weekends, Christmas, etc.).
- The length of stay (weekly, monthly or other customizable terms).
- Custom discount coupons (fixed value or percentage).
Monetary or percentage deposit payments are available.
Charge Taxes and Fees
Be upfront with your customers about all taxes or service charges you collect. With the built-in reservation system of the Luviana theme, you can create taxes or fees with custom names and display them in the booking price breakdown table on checkout, invoices, emails and other reporting data.
Offer extra packages and services to increase the sum of each check. The system allows you to charge guests per accommodation or person; once or per night. You can entice guests to buy more extras by featuring them at checkout and anywhere on the website. You may also offer any service for free!
Integrated Channel Manager for Bookings
Encourage direct bookings but don’t ignore OTAs! The built-in iCal sync support lets you update availability of your rooms across multiple channels, so if your hotel is listed on external booking platforms like Expedia, Booking.com, Airbnb or similar, you can rest assured you’ll be protected from double reservations. Furthermore, you can sync reservations to external iCal-based applications of Google and Apple Calendar, which is super handy for keeping your staff updated on bookings.
The two-way sync process (of your website with third-party platforms) can be both automatic and manual.
Effortless Bookings Management
As a hotel website manager, you are provided with multiple ways to handle bookings:
- View current and forthcoming reservations in a calendar format.
- Track Payment history and all logged actions of each booking.
- Optionally add reservations manually from the dashboard.
- Record payments manually upon guest’s arrival.
- Request the remaining balance automatically prior to guest’s arrival to secure their booking (requires a paid add-on).
- Edit original bookings (e.g. switch rooms, edit arrival and departure dates, etc.)
- And more!
Booking Buffers & Bookings Window
Thanks to the advanced reservation rules possibilities, you can better automate the process of taking the properties out of booking based on specific guest-driven actions. For example, you can add extra time as a buffer to the already booked dates to perform some cleaning or sanitizing procedures before guests arrive or after they leave.
Multiple Bookings at One Go
Allow one guest to book multiple accommodations during one checkout. The WP hotel booking plugin pre-integrated can also be set to recommend the best set of accommodations based on the number of people, so it’s going to be a really quick process for your clients!
Edit Existing Bookings
It’s to switch a room, dates or services for a client who’s requesting a change! You can edit already registered bookings in multiple ways, thus answering your guests requests and at the same time keeping all your site records up to date!
Payment History & Customers
There are a few dashboard menus where you can see and edit customer details, payment transactions and more. You can allow for customer accounts that will assign all bookings to the same customer’s email address or user ID, thus allowing you to identify loyal customers.
Export Bookings Data in CSV
Take your booking data with you! The ‘Reports’ plugin menu allows you to export bookings data in the CSV format (a spreadsheet document) selectively: you can either import everything or include only individual booking details before importing them (by the Accommodation type, booking status, etc.).
Block Rooms and Dates Selectively
The “Booking rules” menu allows you to designate default available check-in and check-out days, minimum and maximum days to stay and optionally disable booking option for selected properties for a certain time frame.
Sales Dashboard
The plugin is packed with the analytics and sales dashboard that allows you to track how much you’ve earned, all this data is shown in visual representation. You’ll also have details on what your revenue is after taxes, your services revenue, and more. The live charts are easy to read and filter data!
User Accounts for Guests
If you want guests to have personal accounts where they can view their bookings or speed up all the further reservations with pre-populated info, it’s quite doable. You are free to enable the plugin to create those accounts automatically at checkout or let guests to opt in for them.
Restrict or Grant Hotel Staff Access to Your Site
It’s easier to manage the team with flexible access settings to your website. Let some people only view the bookings calendars and give others more administrative privileges, for example, for editing client data or changing bookings info.
Bookings Logs & Notes
To simplify all your interactions with every client, you can leave logs and messages for other team members as for each booking and client. Keep notes, records and history of hosting every guest!
Hotel Booking REST API for Developers
WordPress developers that want to bring Hotel Booking plugin’s experiences to other external platforms, can easily use dedicated Hotel Booking API code that is built on top of the WordPress REST API, which ensures secure and robust code for seamless functioning in any application.
GDPR Compliant
