Overview

Ciestra gives rental businesses a way to present accommodations and manage reservations from a WordPress website. The integrated MotoPress Hotel Booking plugin handles bookings, property details, seasonal rates, taxes, and fees. You can create listings with information about amenities, sleeping arrangements, galleries, and nearby attractions, helping guests review their options before booking.

The theme supports availability calendars and search filters, so visitors can browse properties and check dates. Booking forms, payment options, and email notifications support the reservation process, while linked accommodations can be blocked when one is booked. Ciestra suits both single-property rentals and businesses managing multiple villas, rooms, or rental units.

Features

  • Property booking management: Use the integrated MotoPress Hotel Booking plugin to manage reservations, properties, seasonal rates, taxes, and fees from your WordPress site.
  • Accommodation listings: Present property details such as amenities, sleeping arrangements, photo galleries, and nearby attractions to give guests information about each stay.
  • Availability calendars: Show accommodation availability in calendars, and let visitors use search filters to find properties that suit their needs.
  • Online payment options: Accept online payments through gateways such as PayPal, Stripe, and Braintree, with options to require full payment or deposits.
  • Seasonal rates and discounts: Set rates for weekly, monthly, or custom stay durations, with pricing rules based on room capacity or season.
  • Booking email notifications: Send customizable email notifications at different booking stages to keep guests informed about their reservations.
  • Linked accommodation blocking: Link selected accommodations so that booking one automatically blocks the associated accommodations from being booked for the same dates.
