Introduction

Booking, Booking & Reservations

Solidres is a hotel booking extension for Joomla! CMS. Solidres itself is a free extension and you can download, install and use it in unlimited sites as you wish. Also, Solidres follows Joomla coding standard (MVC structure) therefore customizing Solidres or developing template for Solidres is a pleasant task for all Joomla developers/designers. Although Solidres was designed to support hotel (room-based) booking, it can still be used for other type of booking businesses like apartment/villas booking, B&B, guest house, camp site, we can even see some users who use Solidres for cat boarding or 3G USB booking.

Well done

As a website developer, I find this extension very well written, it uses best practices in Joomla extension development like MVC structure, namespaced jquery instance. For end user it is easy to use. The developer of this extension is active in listening to user's feedback and constantly improve their product with regular patch and new features. Thank you for releasing it for free!
I've been a die hard Joomla fan for many years and of course it is the first one that I recommended to my client when we built their hotel website, then with Solidres installed, it made Joomla a serious platform for hotel websites, perfect combination.
This is the best extension for any room based booking businesses. Instead of trying to be "jack of all trades" booking extension, Solidres focuses on room based booking and it is doing well. It has an active development schedule, bug fixes are released quickly and support in the forum is quite good.
Our client did not want to spend too much money into building website, we recommended some open source + free hotel booking extension for Joomla CMS and they chose Solidres, with it we built a hotel website very fast comparing to other solutions. Thanks to the friendly user interface we only needed to have a 1/2 training day and our client was able to manage their website themselves. Highly recommend!
The only reason I upgraded my website from Joomla 2.5 to Joomla 3 is to be able to install Solidres and I have no regret, it is developed as a native Joomla extension from the ground up therefore it is very lightweight and easy to install, the backend user interface blends well into Joomla 3 administrator. The support is very helpful too, great job!
I have many years experience with WordPress and I've built many websites with it but when one of my clients need to build a website for their hotel chains then I had to give up because there are not enough good hotel booking solutions for WP. So I switched to Joomla and was surprised because it has several good hotel booking extensions. I chose Solidres because it has everything I need and the support was good too. Thank you Solidres team!

Amazing component for B&B



Posted on 03 February 2014
At the first glance it is very lightweight and has a nice clean user interface (both frontend and backend). The installation was easy and straightforward, the code base is organized into separated sections and if you are a Joomla developer, you will find it valuable. In addition, it does not come with a bunch of unnecessary features, for my business (a small B&B) it is enough. In the other hand, it need to support Bootstrap 3. Keep up your good work.
I got myself familiar with Solidres easily because its friendly user interface. In addition, it follows Joomla M-V-C standard and this is a big advantage for developers who are familiar with how a real Joomla extensions are built.
Very nice and intuitive user interface. The back end is organized cleanly into separated sections which make daily management tasks become easier. Each form label has tool tip when hovering make it easier to use without having to consult any documentation. Nice job!
I decided to hire a web development company to develop a website for my hotel, but a friend told me to try open source software first, he recommended Joomla and Solidres, I had to thank him a lot, open source softwares like Joomla and Solidres produce such a great combination, I got my hotel website running with zero cost. Great thank to those open source developers!
