There are two ways of placing the Booking Engine Button on a Wordpress website: Using a WordPress widget or by placing the button with HTML only (this page).
This page gives you instructions on placing the button with HTML only.
About widgets
Widgets are tiny blocks that you can place in your WordPress sidebars, also known as widget-ready-areas. There are some important note about the use of widgets:
We recommend using an existing WordPress widget, which allows you to place our HTML into your website.
These widgets are not made by Hoteliers.com, therefore we do not support questions on updates and changes to any WordPress widget.
This article is just a suggestion how you can easily insert our HTML in a WordPress website.
If the widget which we recommended in this article stops to function, we will update this article with a new suggested widget. However it is up to you to make any updates to your WordPress website.
Installing a widget
To install a widget to your WordPress website:
Go to the Wordpress Dashboard
Go to “Plugins”
Search for "Insert Html Snippet" (by xyzscripts.com)
Click on “Install now”

Click on "Add new HTML Snippet".
