Adds a complete hotel booking system to any WordPress site. Guests browse rooms, pick dates, and pay through WooCommerce checkout. No OTA commissions. No monthly SaaS fees. Free core — Pro adds revenue reports, calendar blocking, and automated guest reviews.
Hey Product Hunt! 👋
I built GuestPress after learning that small hotel and B&B owners lose 15–25% of every booking to large booking platforms — on top of whatever they were paying for their WordPress site.
The existing solutions weren't great either: most hotel booking plugins cost $100+/month in SaaS fees, or require five plugins wired together to get a basic checkout working.
GuestPress is a WordPress plugin that gives independent properties a complete direct booking system — rooms, date picker, live pricing, WooCommerce checkout, and a bookings dashboard — all without a third-party platform taking a cut.
The free version covers everything most small hotels need. Pro adds revenue and occupancy reports, a visual calendar for blocking dates manually, and automated post-stay review requests.
I'm happy to answer questions about the build, the WooCommerce integration, or how I'm approaching the hotel market. Would especially love feedback from hotel owners or anyone who's dealt with OTA commission pain firsthand. 🏨

Hey Product Hunt! 👋
I built GuestPress because friends who run small B&B's were losing money their monthly statements. When they are doing well, after platform commissions, they are handing over $3,000+ every single month to a middleman (booking platforms). For a small independent property, that's the difference between profitable and barely surviving.
They already had a WordPress site with WooCommerce. Guests were just being redirected to booking platforms to actually pay. That felt insane to me.
So I built GuestPress, a plugin that turns WooCommerce into a full direct booking engine. Guests pick their dates, see live pricing, and check out right on the hotel's own site. Zero OTA commission on every booking.
Free forever: 📅 Date picker + live pricing 🛒 WooCommerce cart & checkout 🔒 Automatic date blocking 🏠 Unlimited rooms 📊 Bookings dashboard
Pro adds: 📈 Live revenue & occupancy reports 🗓 Visual availability calendar ⭐ Automated post-stay review system 🏷 Length-of-stay discounts
It works with any WordPress theme and any payment gateway WooCommerce supports, Stripe, PayPal, Square, whatever you already use.
If you run a hotel, B&B, or vacation rental on WordPress, or build sites for properties, I'd genuinely love to hear what's missing or what would make this a no-brainer for you. Happy to answer everything. 🙏
