About this tool.
Most WordPress booking plugins are either generic appointment schedulers or full hotel front-desk systems. Mansio is neither — it is built for one specific use case: vacation rentals and holiday homes that already list on Airbnb and Booking.com. It is not meant for salons, clinics, restaurants, event venues, or full-service hotels with front-desk/PMS needs. For that one use case, it keeps a calendar on your own site in sync with Airbnb and Booking.com via iCal (so you never get double-booked), and lets guests reserve directly with you — no monthly SaaS fee, no per-booking commission, no migrating away from the channels you already use.
Features (Free)
- Unlimited properties — add one booking calendar block per room or apartment; each has its own name, prices, bookings and iCal sync
- Gutenberg block — drag and drop the booking calendar anywhere on your site
- Direct reservations — guests book directly from your website
- iCal sync — automatic import from Airbnb and Booking.com (every 20 minutes)
- Email notifications — instant alerts for new bookings, confirmations and cancellations
- Payment methods — bank transfer and cash on arrival
- Booking dashboard — manage all reservations from wp-admin
- Holiday calendar — automatic public holidays via the Calendarific API, with a built-in fallback list when no API key is configured
- Guest area — guests sign in with the standard WordPress login (so login-limit and two-factor plugins keep working), see the bookings made with their account, download a PDF receipt, upload their ID and edit their profile. Guests who book without an account get a private, signed link to their booking and receipt, on the confirmation screen and in their email. New accounts use the standard WordPress registration, when “Anyone can register” is enabled
- ID/passport upload — guests can securely upload a photo or scan of their ID for check-in, straight from their guest area (files get a random, unguessable name in a private uploads folder and are only shown to the guest and site admins)
- CSV export — export your bookings and registered guests list from the dashboard
- Custom icons — replace any calendar/payment/guest-area emoji with your own SVG, image or emoji from Mansio → Icons
