The Hotel Booking Reviews Add-On is a powerful tool for enhancing your property's credibility by allowing guests to leave reviews and ratings directly on your WordPress website. This add-on is ideal for hotel and property owners who want to build trust with potential guests by showcasing real, user-generated feedback.

Key Features:

1. Five-Star Rating System:
   • Guests can rate your property using a popular five-star rating system.
   • Ratings are given for various criteria such as cleanliness, service, value for money, etc., and are combined to create an overall average rating.
   • Guests can also leave written reviews to provide detailed feedback.
2. Unlimited Rating Criteria:
   • Add as many custom rating criteria as you like, allowing guests to evaluate different aspects of your property.
   • Criteria can include anything from cleanliness to amenities, offering a comprehensive evaluation system.
   • These criteria are easily translatable using WordPress translation plugins like WPML.
3. Native WordPress Comments Integration:
   • The add-on uses the native WordPress comment system, converting comments into reviews for your accommodation pages.
   • Manage reviews just like you would manage comments, with options to approve, delete, or reply to them.
   • Even if you deactivate the add-on, reviews will still appear as regular comments (though without the star ratings).
4. Compatibility with WordPress Comment Plugins:
   • The add-on works seamlessly with third-party WordPress plugins that extend comment functionality.
   • This includes spam filtering with Akismet, adding image uploads to reviews, or implementing a "useful/unuseful" review rating system.
5. Embed Reviews Anywhere:
   • Use shortcodes to embed reviews and ratings on any page, post, or widget area of your website.
   • This allows you to feature guest reviews prominently across your site, enhancing credibility and encouraging bookings.
6. Customizable Review Display:
   • Customize the look and feel of your reviews to match your website's design.
   • Options include list or grid layouts, number of reviews per page, visibility of rating criteria, and more.
   • Maintain design consistency while displaying reviews in a way that complements your theme.
7. Additional Features:
   • Reviews and ratings can be specific to individual accommodation types, allowing detailed feedback on each property.
   • Display featured reviews on any website page or in a widget, with easy-to-use settings.
   • Reviews inherit the default styling of your WordPress theme, ensuring they blend seamlessly with your site's design.
   • The add-on is translation-ready and compatible with WPML, making it easy to use on multilingual websites.
