OS Services Booking for guest houses

Hello, 
Im setting up a website that will allow me to manage 3 guest houses, im looking for an establish joomla 6 compatible plugin that can offer the basic features to support this, from my reaserch OS Services Booking appears to be the best match as most other hotel plugins are not Joomla 6 compatible or lack a key feature that I need.

My needs are:
  • Ability to book out guest houses - Resources sounds like it will support this
  • Ability to share and read Resource availability from ical feeds - your Google Calendar integrations, I believe, should cover this 
    • Sharing availability: GCalendar Integration > ical feed
    • Reading availability: OS Services Booking - Google Calendar sync
  • Season-based pricing, looks like you support this
  • Offline payments 
My question:
  • Bookings will be by night, so the user would book Monday to Wednesday, that mean 2 nights they would pay and another user can then book from Wednesday onwards - do you support this type of time slots?
  • Also, any other feedback for using the plugin for Guest House bookings? I have tried to see if others have done this and could not find any comments. 
Thanks! Tim

Hi Tim,
Thank you very much for your interest in OS Services Booking!
However, OS Services Booking is mainly designed for appointment booking, service scheduling, and support bookings. It is not suitable for a room booking system, such as managing guest houses. Therefore, at the moment, it may not meet the specific requirements you mentioned.

I recommend looking for a Joomla room booking extension that is more appropriate for your guest house management needs.
Thanks

Hi Dam,

From the last few days of research and your super quick reply - your offering seems the most robust for a mature Joomla 6 plugin and im happy to work around limitations.
From my requirements, is there one that you would see as a blocker? Right now ,the only limitation I can foresee is the per night booking need.

Hi Tim,
Thank you for your understanding and for considering OS Services Booking.
You are absolutely correct – OS Services Booking is designed for service systems that divide time slots within a day. For accommodation or hotel booking systems, the service is typically overnight, which does not fit the current structure of OS Services Booking.
We may consider developing a flexible solution for overnight bookings in the future, but at this time, we do not have a specific plan to implement this feature. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding.
Thanks
Dam

After having a quick play it appears that time slots will be the limitation as I am unable to daily time slots and the user is not able to pick from and to days when booking.
