<em>Watch this video to see how to manage and use the system.</em></p>
<p>This plugin is a complete powerhouse that handles everything from initial booking to guest registration. It features a highly flexible pricing engine for creating complex discounts and seasonal rates, fully customizable registration forms with custom fields, and the ability to offer additional services with their own pricing. The entire system is translatable and allows you to tailor the visual appearance of your forms to perfectly match your website’s brand.</p>
<p>This plugin is completely free to use. However, if you find it helpful and would like to support its further development, any small donation (even just a few Euros) is greatly appreciated. Your support will help me implement upcoming features like automated arrival reminders and many others. You can manage an unlimited number of apartments, everything is fully translatable, and it offers all the essential tools without limitations. I use it myself and can personally vouch for its reliability and effectiveness.</p>

WP iCal Availability

This is a great little helper!

It is very easy to configure as there are not very much settings. It does one thing and this thing works great.

One note: The calendar blocks the whole day if there is just one entry on one day (however small it is).

If you know CSS you can style the calendar yourself a little bit more, because there are many classes used.

BUT it would be great if the calendar wouldn't be fixed in size. Although you can try to achieve a bigger calendar yourself with CSS.

And a complete shortcode documentation would be great. You don't need it, because there is a great GUI for it, but if you miss the button you are little bit lost.

As all those critics can be solved and are not about the core functionality the 5 stars are still valid.

Great plugin. Easy to configure. If you need more you can do it yourself with CSS and/or move to the premium version. 

Easy to configure

This calendar imports an iCal feed from an external website, like Airbnb, and shows the availability based on that feed.
