What WooCommerce Bookings does
Bookings plugin from WooCommerce.
It sits in the bookings part of a WordPress stack and is sold by WooCommerce on a premium basis. We recommend it in our bookings guides because it does that one job well without asking you to rebuild the rest of the site around it.
Every plugin adds work to a page request, so treat this as a decision with a cost. Record a speed test before you install it and run the same test afterwards, on the same page, so you know exactly what it charged you.

Where WooCommerce Bookings ranks elsewhere
WooCommerce Bookings does not appear in the published "best of" lists we track from WPBeginner, TechRadar, Kinsta, Themeisle and similar sites. That is not a mark against it - those roundups are short and skew towards the biggest names.
