Bestel centers hotel pages on room availability, rates, and owner-posted offers, with Elementor listed for page building.

Room availability and offers take priority
SmartDataSoft describes Bestel as a hotel theme with a reservation and booking interface where visitors can check rooms and services. The description says prospective guests can view room availability and rates, as well as special offers and discounts from the property owner. This makes the guest-facing browsing and offer display the clearest stated purpose of the theme.
The feature description does not specify payment processing, confirmed reservations, or booking-management tools, so those functions should not be assumed from the interface description alone.
Elementor is the listed page-building option
The marketplace description lists Elementor compatibility, giving you a page-building route alongside the hotel-focused visitor interface. It also lists Bootstrap 4.x compatibility. These compatibility details were observed on November 5, 2026 and are vendor or marketplace claims, not installation or runtime test results.
Backpack Traveler's organising idea is the Destination custom post type: places become their own content type, with dedicated list, category, slider and map elements built around them. The article covers that destination layer and its Google Maps API condition, the three blog layouts and post formats, what the changelog says about removed Instagram and Twitter feeds, and why the WPBakery shortcode library is the settled editing path while Elementor is a declared compatibility.
CozyStay keeps its reservation engine inside the theme and hands payments to WooCommerce, so booking rules, seasonal and occupancy pricing, and iCal sync with Airbnb, Booking.com and Google Calendar are all configured in one place. The article follows those controls, the staff-side reservation tools, and the fact that every demo was built with Elementor's free version.
Hotel Booking, by Nicdark, treats accommodation as data: a "rooms" custom post type managed alongside a bundled booking plugin, with a single room page that assembles guest capacity, room size, average and weekly prices, a database-backed services list, similar rooms, an optional per-room sidebar and a quick-booking calendar beside the price panel. The article follows how that room record feeds search, checkout and the guest account, then covers the two developer-mode switches and the theme-level structure built on Elementor components, multiple headers and importable theme settings.
