Surbma | Booking.com Shortcode

A simple shortcode to include Booking.com search box into WordPress. This is a very useful plugin if your user don’t have a permission to embed javascript in the content.

The shortcode: [surbma-bookingcom param="ALL_THE_PARAMETERS"]

Where param is the parameter, you can find in the Booking.com embed code. You need to find the src field, where you have to copy all the parameters after the https://www.booking.com/general.html? url.

You can find the parameters at the end of your Booking.com script’s url:

1. Upload surbma-bookingcom-shortcode folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
2. Activate the Surbma | Booking.com Shortcode plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
3. That’s it. Now you can use the shortcode. 🙂

What is Booking.com?

Booking.com offers online accommodation booking. For more information, please visit the official Booking.com website: www.booking.com

Can I customize the look of the form?

No, you can’t.

What does Surbma mean?

It is the reverse version of my last name. 😉
