Biggest opportunity: “booking”, “hotel” and “hotel booking” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

How it's measured →0.8%
of downloads still active
At least 1K of 126.2K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median Booking & Events plugin keeps 0.8%, across 940 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Booking & Events plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
High removal-risk signals
63/100Maintenance and integrity signals that tend to precede a WordPress.org removal. Not an official status, a heads-up to act.
- Long abandoned. No update in 7+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 5.2.30, well behind 6.8.

This is very annoying. No support at all
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ ukio6.6y ago
After 3 weeks, not even a response to a very easy support request. Even worse: last response EVER from support guys in plugin support forum is FOUR MONTHS old. Can this even be called “support”? This topic was modified 6 years, 3 months ago by ukio.

I’m a bit confused by the mixed reviews. The plugin works really well!

AweBooking – Hotel Booking System is not working
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ Lynn7.4y ago
I have tried out several hotel booking plugins (Advanced Booking, Hotel Booking Motopress). Looks like the free version of this one does not support Seasonal Rates, and in styling, it does not support Search availability of Single Property.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ Vlad7.6y ago
I’ve been testing it for a month almost and even if it has some improvements to be done, overall it’s a very good plugin and it does exactly what the features list specify. If I could rate it in numbers, for me it would be 8+. This topic was modified 7 years, 3 months ago by Vlad. Reason: Grammar errors
