5+ Pre-Made Website Layouts for Diverse Accommodations in One Theme

Booklium is an accumulation of templates for various accommodation types. Taking into account all comments and remarks from our customers, we created one powerful property management WordPress theme which excludes usage of others, since it already comprises everything needed for any type of rental website.

Let’s take more closer look at each template

Multiple Villas Layout

You can see an awesome homepage, where you feature villas with ratings (added via the Hotel Booking Reviews Addon) and key points of your hospitality business. There is also a nice blog section and one-of-a-kind block to feature countries where you have villas for rent.

Footer is simple and elegant at the same time – there are six widgets zones, so you can add as many widgets as you wish in Settings.

Footer in all templates is the same.

• • Single Vacation Rental
    This template was crafted for renting single accommodation, in our example it is villa. The home page features its rooms and amenities, recent news block and testimonials.

    With testimonials, you can display real feedback from your guests, words of gratitude they wrote and thereby increase the interest of your potential visitor to come and see everything with their own eyes.

  • Hostel Accommodation Rental Template
    This template will perfectly list rooms of your hostel, and you can back up your status by inserting videos and bright images with eloquent descriptions. The layout is well-structured but at the same time unusual and interesting.Right on the homepage visitors can search for the hostel on the Google Maps and contact you directly by sending an email.

    Another feature of this template is the Instagram feed inserted with the help of Getwid WordPress Blocks.

    By hovering over a pic, the number of Instagram likes and comments appears. To activate these blocks, you have to fill in personal data and have API access.

  • Apartment Rental Website Template
    The Apartment template features search availability form that differs from others since there are no guest and children search availability fields. But if this point is important and the number of guest to stay is limited, you can easily add more search fields on the dashboard panel.

    There are two beautiful sliders that feature rooms design and list of amenities on the homepage, like a swimming pool, spa center, indoor restaurant, fitness studio, etc. The recommended attractions section features the best destination places that your visitors may go to. By clicking on the images, they will be redirected to the Activities page.

  • Bed and Breakfast Booking WordPress Template
    The design of this pre-made template is neat and accurate with featured search availability form, amenities, activities and sections with CTA buttons, where the rooms list and restaurant menu are shown. This property management website template will be super handy for small B&B owners somewhere in the mountains since the layout design is perfectly suited for this.

Now, when we have observed peculiarities of each ready-to-use template we can proceed to some general characteristics which they comprise.
