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.

Functionality
Loads of features and easy enough to customize
Ease of use
It has a learning curve. This is a powerful component, not an image slider. There is set it up, then data entry. But fairly simple
Support
Fantastic. They don't nickle & dime if you ask for help to do a mod (yourself). Time delay is a little frustrating, but otherwise great.
Documentation
Extensive, with a good forum and great support via tickets.
I used this to: Single residence rental. Component can handle hotels so a bit of dumbing down was required (refers to "rooms" rather than "house" for instance). But pretty easy setup and implementation. Looks good on the frontend, though I had a few suggestions to make it more user-friendly.

well work
