  2. Click Add New Room.
  3. Fill in the fields described below.
  4. Click Save Room.

Available Fields

Name

The name of the room or unit.
Examples: Blue Room, Double Room, Garden Suite, Sea Apartment.

This name will appear both in the backend and in the frontend search results.


Units

Total number of identical units available for that room type.
Example: if you have three identical “Standard Double” rooms, set Units = 3.

The system takes this number into account when calculating availability in bookings.


Base Price €/Night

Base price per night, used as the main reference for calculating the total stay cost.
The amount is displayed in the currency selected in the plugin settings and can be automatically adjusted by seasonal rates (if configured).


Max Adults / Max Children

Maximum number of adults and children allowed in this room.
These values are used to filter available rooms based on the capacity selected in the booking form.


Minimum Nights

Minimum number of nights required to complete a booking.
Example: if you set 2, the room cannot be booked for a single night.


Check-in and Check-out Times

  • Check-in after: time after which guests can arrive (e.g., 14:00).
  • Check-out before: time by which guests must leave the room (e.g., 10:00).

This information is displayed to users in the summary screen and in confirmation emails.


Image

Main image of the room, selectable directly from the WordPress media library.
The image appears in the frontend and in the room search view.


Detail URL (Optional)

This field allows you to link the room card in search results to a dedicated page.

If filled in, the link will be applied to the room title and image shown in the frontend, so when clicked, the user is taken to the detail page (usually the room’s Custom Post Type or a specific page on the site).

On that page, you can include the booking form dedicated to that room via shortcode (replace the ID as needed):

[simpbnb_room id="1"]

The form automatically keeps the dates already selected in the main booking form, allowing the user to complete the reservation from the room’s detail page.

If the field is left empty, the room card in the results will not be clickable (the title and image will remain static).


Description

A free-text field to describe the room, included amenities, view, size, or any other details useful for guests.


Editing or Deleting a Room

  • To edit an existing room, click on the Edit button and update the desired fields.
  • To delete it, use the Delete button in the rooms table. It will be removed only if there are no active bookings linked to it.

Useful Tips

  • Photos: use optimized images (800–1200 px wide) for faster loading..
  • Descriptions: keep them concise but informative; two or three paragraphs are ideal.
  • Prices: set a realistic base price—you can later adjust it with Seasonal Rates.
  • Blackout: to block non-bookable periods, use the Blackout section.
