Demo Website:
In this video, ill show you how to make a modern and professional hotel booking with WordPress. I also use a WordPress plugin, so you can make this website with any WordPress page builder that you you would like.
In this video, I use the Astra theme and Elementor to get started. From there, we install a free plugin that gives you the booking functionality. I do also cover the pro version of the hotel booking plugin in this video. What is also cool, is you can link up a channel manager and link your hotel to popular websites!

Thanks for watching! Feel free to visit my website at
Woohoo! Welcome Back! Took me a few weeks to put this one together, first 20 comments get a <3 from me! Make sure to hit that like button and let me know if you have any questions!
Thank you so much for this wonderful video, good theme and design.Is it possible to add woocommerce in this website ?
Hey in advance great work, but I have a problem, for some reason I dont have any page when setting up search bar. I dont now if I did something wrong. Thanks again for your work.
it does not work! You can change the currensy and the language so i dont recomende this plug in take care with this information! 01/12/2024
The photos from the Demo are in Santorini and very similar with the hotel for which I need website 😄 I use the Demo website then 😄
This is a really good video!! Thank you!!I am using free vik right now，I am considering buying a pro version. I want to know if customers want to quit their reserved room,the strip will quit their money or not?
How do I recycle a template that I've created once?
Hello Darrel. it seems the 149 euros is an annual payment for the plugin and not a one time payment. cause from your video, when you put in the code, it shows "renew license key"
This video doesn't seem to be current, i'm seeing different option at the point where you select astra theme, activate and get started, I'm seeing only two options one through AI site builder and other is more of a manual and there is no elementor option.
If after booking I want to check my booking details…where do I check it?
Thanks for the video….👍👍
Is it all free?
Darrel, I am having issues with the VikBooking stripe plugin. I purchased said plug in but it is not selectable as a viable way to pay. I've disabled litespeed cache and still nothing. Is there some kind of work around that you did?
I hope you're doing well! I recently watched your video, and it was incredibly insightful. I’m currently working on a website where I need to add different types of rooms to a single date for booking purposes.
This 2 and half hour video would have been a lot shorter if you cut all the unnecessary "go aheads" out
Hi Derrel, in the free version Can I link my woocommerce and proceed with people booking and making payment?
It shows that the demo website is unsafe to visit but I did view it before. Why?
Hello Darrel I have a question for you, I can't get the calendar to show the reserved days in a different color. Do you know if it can be set in the free version?
Hi Sir , i am your big fan can you upload a video on how to use Vik Booking plugging complete set up… like how to set different prices for different days
@Darrel Wilson Sir
hy man I just stareted word press on hostinger,I did the exactly same things that you did with exactly same template and my elementor plugin doesn t show as many boxes to edit as yours,can you please help me and tell me what to do
pls build dating website
Please the template that you used is not on my own astra. Is it possible to get the link to download the theme
Hey i am at 2:01:53 and i dont have the stretch section. Also nothing that i tried seems to work there im working with the flexbox 😮
So… im about to create a website for a small 4-5 appartments business… And im almost giving it up.
Few hints:
– building booking website is almost useless without syncing with airbnb, booking… For this thing is the channel manager plugin MANDATORY sadly its not the only thing, it requires proprietary e4jConnect subscription which will charge you for EVERY other provider connection mothly (so for 4 app small business its 15 euro per booking monthly, another 15 for airbnb…).
– in Europe, building single language website is also nearly useless, you need polylang website (the bugs coming with translating are very common)
i cant install one sample data package to skip initial setup steps in the vik booking, anybody know what i cant do?
Vikbooking doesn't activate to me
A question I am now 1:01:54 I don´t have any page when I press search, it does not show all the rooms which are available
