After searching and trying for ages to find a booking plugin we were lucky to find WP BASE The free core gives you all the power to setup a comprehensive booking service.  All the others we have tested you will pay for most of these features. We use it for services, resort bookings, events and tours. For us, the only modules not included in the free version are: Take payments online. Although you can setup Direct Payments you can have more gateways when getting the WooCommerce addon (purchase). Our feeling is that the plugin needs more gateways options but is sure it will come with time. Service providers. A paid addon is available to setup service providers at a very affordable rate. The plugin was design with a well though logical flow and the moment you understand it, you can setup a booking system which will not break the bank. In most cases – for free! On top of it the support is super quick - only the time zone will delay a request sometimes for an hour or 3. Thanks Hakan – we are sure this booking plugin will grow as one of the most used in the world!

I've started testing WP BASE several days ago and even tho I'm an amateur and FREE package user I managed to set it up just the way I needed functionality and design wise. Hakan was extremely fast in support responses to my silly questions and provided me with solutions immediately.
اگست 20, 2022
This is the best booking plugin. It just works! It includes extensive features which shows the depth knowledge of booking requirements. I still find features I haven't implemented yet. Hakan provides prompt support and go extra miles to answer and implement your questions. I highly recommend this plugin. Saba
