Vik Booking for WordPress
The famous Booking Engine and PMS online software for accommodations is now available also for WordPress as a native Plugin!
If you are looking for a reliable reservation system for a Hotel, B&B, Villa, Apartments, Hostel or any similar accommodation, then you have found the right plugin. In fact, Vik Booking is a
PCI-DSS and
OpenTravel compliant hotel Booking Engine used by thousands of properties every day.
This is the
free version of the plugin, but you can upgrade to the
Pro version at any time from your
wp-admin section. Experience the power of a true and internal Booking Engine that competes with the best ones of the world!
The
Pro version is compatible with
Vik Channel Manager, the first and only native Channel Manager for WordPress, listed as a Premier Partner of
Booking.com since 2018 among the top 20 systems worldwide.
Full API connections available with the most famous OTAs such as
Airbnb,
Expedia and
Google Hotel for their new Free Booking Links! Beware of "fake" Channel Manager plugins that only offer unreliable iCal synchronizations with no private access to the OTA's APIs.
Vik Booking was born in 2010 for a different web-software (CMS) than WordPress, and that's how it became famous. The same powerful framework is now (since 2018) at the service of all webmasters, designers and web-agencies that work with WordPress. It's definitely the hotel reservation plugin that you, or your client, were looking for.
