About this plugin
Ethereal Booking turns your WordPress website into a booking website for a room, an apartment, a villa or any rental. com and Airbnb, so the same dates are never sold twice.
Features
- Booking.com and Airbnb sync (iCal): bookings from the platforms block the dates on your website, and website bookings block them on the platforms.
- 3-step booking form: Dates → Details → Confirm, on phone, tablet and computer.
- Payments: pay at the property or by bank transfer (the bank details are sent to the guest).
- Property page: gallery with lightbox, details, prices and the availability calendar – nothing to set up.
- Special prices: a different nightly price for a month, for weekends or for chosen dates (Christmas, an event) – for one year or every year until you change it. Added with three simple questions and shown on a calendar. Guests see the price under every date, and a stay is charged night by night.
- Rooms page with search: dates, guests and type, only free dates with the total price.
- Automatic emails for you and the guest: request, confirmation, payment, cancellation.
- 5 languages: English, Français, Italiano, Deutsch, Shqip, for guests and for the admin.
- Shortcodes to show the search bar, the properties grid or the booking form on any page.
- No commission, no account, no tracking: the bookings and the guests are yours.

External services
This plugin connects to other websites only for the calendar sync:
- Booking.com, Airbnb or any iCal calendar – the plugin downloads the iCal links you paste on a property (to block the dates booked there), and those platforms download your property’s iCal link (to block the dates booked on your website). The iCal data contains only dates and a booking reference. Booking.com: Terms · Privacy. Airbnb: Terms · Privacy.
