Very complete PMS
I don't use the free version but the commercial VikBooking Pro with several e4j Channel Managers and other plugins, so maybe I am a little off-topic here, but probably others are interested too. I would like to give a first impression after about a month. Large PMS with a huge amount of available optional features (paid). I am really impressed by features like AI support, WhatsApp guest communication and much more. Centralized guest communication and rating insights across all channels. Friendly and quick first-level support. For a small commercial host like me, for about the same price as similar PMS, you get more features and channels. The Channel Manager for Booking.com looks very good to me The Channel Manager for Booking.com looks very good to me (the incomplete initial import of existing bookings was mostly due to technical restrictions). For the Airbnb Channel Manager I got good support with smaller problems directly from the developers, and some improvements are already in progress. The support was extremely patient. I had a very long discussion about my requirement to decide myself how VAT is handled at Airbnb. This was exhausting for both sides, and some of my input was not precise or correct at first because I was missing technical insights. I also got frustrated at times, but I have a strong technical opinion about my use case. I don't think the problem was understood but I appreciate that the support always tried to help. During these discussions I finally learned that the company tries to listen to its customers and is working to improve its software.

Outstanding Performance and Unbeatable End-User Support
This WP Booking Engine & PMS is an absolute game-changer for any hotel. The latest enhancements have transformed it from a great tool into an essential one. Every updates, especially in the PMS field, task management, channel synchronization, or integration of automated booking processes, have drastically streamlined our revenue strategy and made entire resource management faster and more intuitive in our organization. Equally impressive is the outstanding end-user support over the last 3 years. Their team is the gold standard, responding quickly to each request professionally, and deep expertise on complex issues like two-way OTA sync, and further. They don't just fix problems; they provide invaluable best-practice solutions and develop software not for themselves, but for end-customers like you and me. In a nutshell: A powerful, reliable, and continuously improving Booking & PMS system backed by best-in-class support is a definite five-star investment. Thanks a lot for this amazing contribution to this community, great product & service!

Very good potential
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).

Best quality price ratio
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!

VikBooking
<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>
