Overview

Rental owners often need a website that shows properties well and also handles reservations. Ciestra covers both. The theme works with the MotoPress Hotel Booking plugin to manage bookings, seasonal pricing, taxes and fees. Guests can filter properties, check availability on a calendar and book online, while automated emails keep them informed at each stage.

Building and editing pages happens with Elementor content modules, so you can arrange the site without writing code. Ciestra suits a single vacation rental as well as a multi-room hotel or a collection of villas. iCal synchronization with platforms like Airbnb helps avoid double bookings, and optional add-ons extend the booking system when you need more.

Features

  • Built-in booking system: The MotoPress Hotel Booking plugin handles bookings, properties, seasonal pricing, taxes and fees from one place, so reservations and rates stay in a single system.
  • Elementor page building: Drag-and-drop Elementor content modules made for property rental let you create and adjust pages without coding.
  • iCal sync with booking platforms: Bookings can synchronize with online travel agencies such as Airbnb through iCal, which helps prevent overbooking across channels.
  • Online payment gateways: Accept payments through gateways such as PayPal, Stripe and Braintree, and choose whether guests pay in full or leave a deposit.
  • Flexible pricing rules: Set weekly, monthly or custom stay-length rates, with pricing that can change by room capacity or season.
  • Search filters and calendars: Guests can filter properties to find a fit and view availability on a calendar before they book.
  • Detailed property listings: Listings can present amenities, sleeping arrangements, galleries and nearby attractions, giving travelers the details they look for.
  • Email notifications: Event-driven email templates are customizable and keep guests informed as their booking moves through each stage.

Best for

  • Vacation rental owners with one or many properties
  • Hotels, resorts and villas that want online booking
  • Site builders who prefer Elementor over custom code
