In part 2 of the series “Create an OTA website like booking.com with Meta Box plugin”, we created filters that allow users to search for hotels on the Hotel archive page. Then, to help users find their desired rooms in each hotel conveniently, we need to filter vacancies in Hotel single pages.
In part 1 of the series “Create an OTA Website Like Booking.com with Meta Box plugin”, we completed creating a page to introduce hotel rooms and creating custom fields to fill in the booking data. But an OTA website needs more than that: a filter hotel system to help users search for hotels that fit their requirements easily and quickly. So, this next part is about how to create filters on the Hotel archive page. Let’s find out!
Nowadays, having an OTA (Online Travel Agent) website is very popular with companies and agencies, especially ones that supply the hotel booking service. Some of the most popular websites in this field are agoda.com and booking.com with professional hotel booking systems. If you want to build an OTA website just like them, follow our series “Create an OTA Website Like booking.com and agoda.com”.
In the first article of this series, we’ll create a single page for each hotel and create custom fields to enter the hotel information, and then display them on the website.
After the 3rd part of the series about how to build a hotel booking website using Meta Box, we had a basic system to create and book reservations for a small and medium hotel. However, I think that you still need a tool to collect all the booking details for easy management and scheduling.
That’s why in this 4th part, I will show you how to display all booking orders on one page so that you can view the booking schedule intuitively as well as easily check each information.
If you are wondering about what an FAQs page is, we will explain it very shortly for you.

FAQs page is so integral because it not only solves the customer’s problem but also boosts the relationship between you and your users.

I'm back to bring you the next part of this series. In this part, we are adding a booking form to the Room’s page which shows all the room’s information. This form allows your customers to submit a booking from frontend easily.
Normally, OTA websites have a useful feature that is finding hotels by location. This feature is a filter using custom fields to filter hotels that meet the criteria the user needs. In this article, I will show you how to use custom fields and filter out hotels with custom fields that match the desired location.

In the first post of this series, we created a page showing all the hotel room’s information. It normally has a button or several call-to-action areas to go to the booking page which allows your customers to make an order. However, ‘cause some businesses have strong direct channels, they want their sales to make booking orders for their customers as well. Along with that, to have you imagine how to create a booking page in the frontend later (which is in the 3rd post), I made this post to show you how to create one in the backend. That is for internal users only.
