Toolkit: Group Booking

2 min read

Suggests companion rooms to guests when several of your properties belong to the same group, so friends or small groups can easily book adjacent stays together.


What it does #

When a guest lands on a single property page, Group Booking checks whether that property belongs to a property group alongside other listings. If it does, a friendly banner appears inviting the guest to book together.

The banner shows:

  • A heading like “Travelling with friends? Book together at [Group Name]”
  • The combined guest capacity across all properties in the group
  • A card for each companion property, with photo, bedroom count, guest count, and a live availability indicator
  • A direct link to each companion property page

This is perfect for properties that sit side by side, share a building, or are part of a single estate, where a group of guests wants enough beds across multiple units.

How to turn it on #

1. Enable the module #

Go to HomeRunner Toolkit in your WordPress admin and switch on Toolkit: Group Booking.

2. Group your properties #

The banner only appears when two or more properties share a property group. Assign each property that should travel together to the same group, then save.

3. Visit a grouped property page #

Open one of the grouped properties on the front end. If it has at least one companion in the same group, the banner renders automatically. Properties with no group, or a group of one, show nothing.

Settings #

This module has no settings panel of its own. Its behavior is driven entirely by which properties you place in the same property group, and by each property’s existing photo, bedroom count, and maximum-guests values.

Tips #

  • The combined capacity number adds up the maximum guests of every property in the group, including the one the guest is viewing. Keep your per-property guest counts accurate so the total is believable.
  • Companion cards use each property’s featured image and bedroom count, so make sure those are filled in for the best-looking banner.
  • Guests can dismiss the banner with the close button if it is not relevant to them.
  • Pair this with the on-site or Guesty Hosted Checkout flow so each companion booking completes smoothly.
