Dear Kriesi-Team,
my client wants to build an accommodation directory / listing website, similar to Expedia or Booking (but of course smaller). It is important that (1) owners of accommodations can list their accommodation (by registering/signing in) and (2) visitors can search for accommodations based on a basic search (e.g. place & date) or an advanced search (with many categories & filters). Of course there are off-the-shelf WP themes that offer something like that (e.g. MyListing, ListingPro, Findeo).
However, I would love to use Enfold due to my very good experiences with your theme and your support. Could you please tell me, whether your theme is suitable for creating such a hotel platform & booking site? What plugins might be needed and are these compatible with Enfold? (e.g. Hotel Booking Lite (MotoPress), eForm, Gravity Forms, Plugins for Custom Fields, Listing Types, Calendars, Bookings, etc.)
Thanks for your reply!
Best regards, Cornelie

Thank you for the inquiry.
The theme is quite flexible and it can be used in a wide variety of websites but you have to use third party plugins and custom scripts to add extra functionality to the site such as hotel reservations and listings. In the Enfold Hotel Demo, we used the Woocommerce plugin and an extension called Woocommerce Bookings. Of course, you can use other plugins and extensions but it will require extra modifications.

thank you very much for your quick reply!
Indeed, your theme is known for its flexibility. So I expect it to combine well with third party plugins and custom scripts needed to enable such an accommodation directory. Do you generally provide support when people are experiencing “challenges” when using third party plugins within Enfold (e.g. suggestions for custom scripts)?
Thanks for sharing the Enfold Hotel Demo. I already looked at it. It is a lovely example, but only for one hotel and presumably not suitable for the listings and search functions wanted. WooCommerce Bookings sounds OK for reservations, but comes with a price…
Looking forward to hearing from you. Thanks!

Thank you for the update.
We usually provide support for basic modification requests and we try to fix any issues related to the theme but unfortunately, we do not provide extensive assistance for third party plugins. We try to help as much as possible but we usually ask the users to the keep in touch with the plugin authors for additional help in case any issues occur.
Best regards,
