Overview

Rental owners often juggle a listings page, a booking form, payment tools and a calendar spread across different services. AlpenHouse brings these together in one theme. It runs on the MotoPress Hotel Booking plugin, which lets you create detailed accommodation listings with amenities, photos, availability and extra services, then set the rules guests book under.

Bookings stay organized after the guest clicks reserve. The theme supports multiple payment gateways, automated confirmation emails and calendar sync with online travel agencies such as Airbnb through iCal, which helps avoid double bookings. The layout adapts to mobile screens, and optional add-ons cover things like PDF invoices, Mailchimp and PriceLabs for owners who need more.

Features

  • Detailed accommodation listings: Build a directory of your rentals with amenities, photos, availability and extra services, so guests can compare properties and see what each one offers before they book.
  • Flexible booking rules: Set minimum and maximum stay lengths, restrict check-in and check-out days, and adjust rates by guest count or season to match your own rental policies.
  • Seasonal and length-of-stay rates: Set different rates by season, week or month, which lets you offer better terms for longer stays.
  • Multiple payment gateways: Accept payments through PayPal, Stripe, 2Checkout and others. Guests can pay a deposit, the full amount, or be invoiced after arrival.
  • OTA calendar sync: Sync bookings with online travel agencies using iCal, so availability stays current across platforms and overbookings are less likely.
  • Bookable extras and packages: Offer paid or free extra services during reservation, so guests can add what they need while they book.
  • Taxes, fees and coupons: Display mandatory taxes and extra fees clearly, and create discount coupons for loyal guests, promotions or slower seasons.
  • Automated email notifications: Send customizable emails to guests and admins for bookings, payments, cancellations and other events, keeping everyone informed without manual messages.

Best for

  • Vacation rental owners listing chalets or guest houses
  • Bed and breakfast and small hotel operators
  • Property managers handling several rental sites
