Version 9: a complete rewrite

Version 9 is rebuilt on Pandao CMS 8 for PHP 8.2 to 8.5. Buyers of version 8 download it from their Downloads page, then import their hotels, rates, bookings, pages and customer accounts in one go, passwords included, keeping the addresses of their pages and their search rankings.

A booking experience your guests already know

Designed like the major booking platforms: guests search by destination and dates, compare the hotels on a list or a map, book several rooms and offers at once, add extras and activities, and pay online or at the hotel. The price shown always includes taxes and mandatory fees.

Everything hotel managers need

A rates calendar per hotel, a visual planning, a booking editor for phone bookings, payment and deposit rules per hotel, calendars synchronised with Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo, verified guest reviews, and owners who manage their own properties.

A complete, international website

Your site opens on a complete hotel website: slideshow and stay search, featured hotels and destinations, activities, blog, contact and legal pages. Translate it into any language, right-to-left ones included, and show your prices in the currency of each visitor.

Easy to install, secure and well documented

An installation wizard, a diagnostic screen that checks your server, automatic tasks with or without a cron job, database updates in one click, and a complete documentation with screenshots of every screen.
