Introduction

Booking, Booking & Reservations

Solidres is a hotel booking extension for Joomla! CMS. Solidres itself is a free extension and you can download, install and use it in unlimited sites as you wish. Also, Solidres follows Joomla coding standard (MVC structure) therefore customizing Solidres or developing template for Solidres is a pleasant task for all Joomla developers/designers. Although Solidres was designed to support hotel (room-based) booking, it can still be used for other type of booking businesses like apartment/villas booking, B&B, guest house, camp site, we can even see some users who use Solidres for cat boarding or 3G USB booking.


Solidres is proudly to be listed in JED since 2014.

Features:

  • Support booking per night or per day
  • 03 reservation layouts to choose from in front end
  • Support private room as well as shared room (dormitory)
  • One page AJAX + well organized reservation form: it is one of our strongest feature, it makes booking a nice experience for your guests, this is very important factor for booking because most of the guests will stop booking if they find it hard to understand the user interface or having to fill a horrible form with too many fields.

Functionality
Generally very very good. It's still a work in progress, but what isn't? It has come on leaps and bounds since I started using it in 2014.
Ease of use
The location of options is probably the most confusing thing, because there are so many of them in different areas. But no real problems.
Support

Documentation
Excellent, comprehensive and understandable. (Good forum response too)

Documentation
Good enough, but some details not exist at all, for example there is housekeeping module but you are discovering by coincidence
