Missing languages support (frontend is only in English)

The actual plug-in itself is a really nice concept. It does feel very “unfinished”, in many cases and could use some attention from the devs to finalize it. The functionality is pretty solid overall, and having the ability to sync with myallocator.com services is pretty awesome. This plugin concept is pretty well done, and with a little bit of attention could be great.
However…
My biggest problem with this product is that there is literally no support of any kind. There is no organized, or reliable documentation to be found for the plugin. The only way you’ll find short codes, or similar information regarding this plugin is by searching through the reviews, and support threads here on www.ads-software.com. It also seems that there is zero active development on the plugin. The last update as of this review was 5 months ago…and an update is needed because some of the features have stopped working (hotel search shortcode). If you contact support you aren’t very likely to get a helpful reply, if any at all.
It’s a shame… this could be a really great plugin. However, in the end of the day I can not recommend this plugin to anyone considering it. Using this plugin essentially has wasted a LOT of my time (and my clients time) because I’m going to have to find an alternative solution.

I have the latest version of WordPress 4.6 and though it says it MIGHT NOT WORK with my version — IT DOES!!
I have a retreat center [ link redacted, please do not post links in reviews ] and when we are not hosting retreats we rent out the rooms. It was confusing to people in regards to Retreat Prices and Rooms For Rent Prices. So I decided since I basically have 2 types of business I’ll do 2 websites.
I have setup [ link redacted, please do not post links in reviews ] with WordPress.
I also have setup [ link redacted, please do not post links in reviews ] with WIX and upgraded for more options
We have a listing on TripAdvisor now ??
We also are listed on AirBnB and I imported the Calendar to sync together.
I have all 3 sites being listed on many search engines too. It sounds like it was complicated but with your plug in it was a breeze. I have different e-mails setup with each so if someone books in one e-mail I just log in and sync the calendars and all updated just about everywhere.
FEATURE REQUEST: Customer Reviews on WordPress sites
Wix already offers that in the apps.
I’m still working on all the sites to interconnect them better, as well as the blogs. I’ll give it a good year to see which one does better and I’m betting it will be the site with your plug-in on it.

Tengo una duda ?es posible que el front end desde el que el cliente reserva este en espa?ol? por que sale en ingles al igual que los datos de las habitaciones también están en ingles y pues el idioma de las personas que va dirigido esta en espa?ol.
Es el plugin mas completo de reservas que he encontrado ademas de tener una interfaz intuitiva y agradable gracias n_n .

Это пипец товарищи, я бы поставил 5, но вот есть один огромнейший недостаток, не меняется язык на фронтенде, только англиский! Мне нужен мой язык, русский или японский, или немецки, но не английский. Думал ладно, переведу сам, скачал плагин для перевода, а там переводить то нечего!
Вообщем сделайте по человечески.
Kick It comrades, I would put 5, but there is one huge disadvantage, it does not change the language on the frontend only english! I want my language, Russian or Japanese or German, but not English. I thought, okay, will translate itself, download the plugin for translation, and there is nothing to translate!
Generally done by a human being.

I’m sure many will agree with me that the current situation regarding reservation and booking plugins is bad, particularly for those who cannot pay great amounts of money. This plugin, however, is not only completely free – it’s also the best one. The plugin guides you through te whole process of setting it up, you really feel like they are taking care oof your business.
Easy to use, free and well-designed, this plugin is the one you want to use.

I would just like to point out the lack of “transparency” when it comes to pricing of the Wix Website templates and third party connectors.
In order to connect Booking.com, Expedia and the likes, these are the things that I had to do:
1. Upgrade to Premium Unlimited Hotel Plan (found out later that this upgrade did not enable me to connect my Rooms & Availability to the required Booking Agents);
2. Then I had to Upgrade to Hotel + (in order to connect the Rooms & Availability) – each upgrade demanded a further yearly cost, of course;
3. Later I was informed that in order to actually connect to Booking.com, Expeia and the like, I had to use their recommended third party, MyAllocator (which connects the website to the booking agents) – again at a monthly fee of $42 (Wix suggested it would only cost $25/m !?)
Is there anyone out there who can compare Wix fee charges to WordPress charges and connectors (third party go betweens) ?

Hi, I love this it looks great and installs really easily. I want to run the plugin to take bookings for a development with numerous villas, as opposed to rooms. Is there a way of doing this please? Will there be a premium plugin – I would happily pay for extended functions and features as it works so nicely.

So much time that I am searching for solutions to my accommodation clients and finally I found this amazing plugin.
The management interface is well designed and has many functionalities which is very easy to define.
The booking flow from the site is simple and clear with great focus on images.
The fact that its commission free bookings is a big thing!
Keep up with the great work…

My goal for this plugin was to: 1) Show rooms, with amenities, display prices and pictures 2) Allow guests to book a room 3) For me to accept payment for such reservations in the easiest way possible. 4) Simple way to edit room rates, and charge for extras
WiX Hotel plugin has crossed the t’s, and dotted the i’s, and has outperformed my expectations!
Firstly, the GUI from the backend is just simply inviting. Easy access to all the options you can tinker with, add, modify. Room adding is a breeze. Changing availability for rooms, and changing rates is a breeze. It was easy to localize the currency and other features.
Secondly, the front end, visible to visitors is well thought out, and implemented. Other plugins, and hotel reservation pages tend to hide the room rates, until a date is entered. Not with WiX Hotel: they mean serious business, and show rates before any other commitment is needed from the visitor. The front end also has a minimalist, modern design, very appealing.
Thirdly, WiX Hotels handles your payments you receive from guests, on their end, letting their servers handle the entire process, while allowing the admin to setup payment receiving credentials in a pain-free way. You can literally setup the payments in less than a minute, and start your receipts right away! All of this, and having FREE, no booking fees on their end! You get all the money you charge, and it’s vital for a budget hotel such as the one i’m designing for. Rates are already so low, that, subtracting booking fees leaves us with very little. No monthly, volume charges either!
Fourthly, I have the hotel listed on travel sites, and those who don’t know, it is a massive pain to alter room rates, copy room rates from one season, or period to another. They just simply can’t get it right, unlike these guys. Very easy to alter rates.
Fifth, the bonus reason you need this plugin: the staff support. I had a few queries that I posted on their support page with a ticket, and I got fast, and knowledgable responses from the team in question. I also got feedback, AND upgrades for the plugin to accommodate my additional needs. Even the Live support staff who chats with you, when you get in the dashboard is courteous, professional, and very helpful.
You can’t go wrong with this plugin. I hope WiX Hotel continues this tradition, and it is the reason my site has any pizzaz, or oomph needed in this crowded business. THANKS!!

Super easy setup, looks great on WordPress dashboard on the website too.
Booking process seems very straightforward, payment page is secured – loving it!
Rating: 5 stars
very good, sets up in minutes.
But it adds only one page to book, if there were more functionalities.
I think its good for small hotel with one administrator.
Couldn’t find documentation yet.
