Biggest opportunity: Add “hotels”, “hotel booking” and “travel booking” to your wp.org tags. You rank #17, #19 and #21 for them without listing them, close enough for a declared tag to move you up. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so with 4 listed these are the slots worth spending.

How it's measured →4.7%
of downloads still active
At least 4K of 85.4K lifetime downloads are still running, above 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.

How it's tracked →Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.
Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.
wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| hotel your tag | #15 | #14 | down 2 |
| hotel booking | #19 | #15 | down 2 |
| hotels | #17 | #16 | down 2 |
| travel booking | #21 | #21 | up 1 |
| book your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| booking your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| travel your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
4 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days. 3 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- Add “hotels”, “hotel booking” and “travel booking” to your wp.org tags. You rank #17, #19 and #21 for them without listing them, close enough for a declared tag to move you up. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so with 4 listed these are the slots worth spending.
- One page off on “hotel”. #15 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

Thought I’d check out this plugin, installed it, entered my data and all I see is a 404 error 🙂
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ Anonymous4.0y ago
What can I say? The plugin totally does not work on 8.0 and on 7.4 when I have the error reporting on ‘full scale’, it produces more ‘deprecated’ warnings and general notifications than HTML output. JavaScript conflicts with numerous other plugins and CSS uses very generic names conflicting with other even standard WordPress class names. Nice try, but the creator of this plugin was clearly coding in a vacuum assuming that his plugin would be the only plugin somebody would ever need. Don’t waste your time with this amateuristic attempt to make a plugin! This topic was modified 3 years, 8 months ago by wvdploeg.

This plugin works fine as he promised, but have the worst html I’ve ever seen. All classes have a generic name, css customizations are impossible. This topic was modified 7 years, 2 months ago by SoreX.

Sorry to say but html outputs from this plugin have the worst code quality I’ve ever seen. Everything have same class, no way to select specific element to apply custom css. If they want to apply 10px height, they have a class for that. Background white, another class for that and bla bla bla. This is the way this plugin shows button: <a style="border:2px solid #78635a; color:#78635a;" href=".." class="nd_booking_padding_15_30_important nd_options_second_font_important nd_booking_border_radius_0_important nd_booking_background_color_transparent_important nd_booking_cursor_pointer nd_booking_display_inline_block nd_booking_font_size_11 nd_booking_font_weight_bold nd_booking_letter_spacing_2" target="_self">BOOK NOW FROM 25 $</a> Every element have same classes but not a single unique class to identify what the element is. This makes it impossible to customize elements

Excellent, but missing possibility to set up accommodation for children. For example: Room for two adults + one child (free).
