Introduction
Solidres is an online booking engine for Joomla! hotels, guest houses, B&B, apartments, villas, hostels and camp sites. The Solidres core is free: download it, install it and use it on as many sites as you like. It is built on Joomla's own MVC framework, so every screen can be changed with Joomla template overrides and extended with plugins and modules.
Solidres was first released in 2012 and has been listed in the JED since 2014. The current version, Solidres 4.7.0 (November 2026), runs on Joomla 6 and PHP 8.3 or later.
New in Solidres 4.7.0
- Booking emails you word yourself: a new Emails screen gives each email a subject and a message per property and per language, with the booking's values, a preview and a test sent to you. All emails share one design that reads well on a phone, with the property's logo, your template's colour, dark mode and right-to-left languages.
- New reservation screens: quick filters (Arrivals today, Departures today, In-house), status badges and date ranges on the reservations list, which stays fast however many bookings it shows, and a summary at the top of each booking.
- Your guests' bookings: signed-in guests see their bookings under Upcoming, Past and Cancelled, and each booking reads like a receipt, with the balance due, the voucher and the invoice.
- Cookie consent: a cookie banner of its own, translated, in your template's colours, with Google's consent signals.
- Customers list export to CSV, site name and meta description in Solidres Options, Solidres news in the back end, and lighter pages without jQuery UI.
- Security fixes from our security review: we recommend updating.
