Hotel Online booking system
szahra - January 15, 2008 - 11:21
Can anyone help me, i need to do an online booking system for a hotel, with further custimisations. Will drupal help me with this? If not, can anyone give me any good hotel online booking systems with php and/ or java? Which maybe are open source or any package software which proves its good?
Thanks
Open Resort Module
Check out this module http://drupal.org/project/openresort:
It might do what you want, but I'm almost certain there's no Drupal 6 version yet.
I think even if this does not do exactly what you want, with a combination of different modules, probably with some profi involvement a custome solution can be found.

Why not solve this easy with
Why not solve this easy with Content Access, ACL and CCK modules ?
CCK can very well manage this, just build up a correct CCK database structure for all kind of needs in a Hotelroom reservation, if it is needed with hotel club special fees use Feemanager and if you need online payment look at any e-Commerce solutions, but didnt sound like you needed the last.

There are many reasons. One
There are many reasons. One of them is flexibility. If I develop a module, I can get required functionality in several lines of code. I can validate input data, apply spam filters, send e-mail, provide an unique request link for users, etc. Another reason - modules are portable. Modules can be implemented by other users, they can make some improvements. Developing modules is not very difficult task.

I think it is better to go
I think it is better to go from ground up to build feature rich and scalable reservation application. Using only available modules like CCK I do not think it leads to that level but could be integrated to the application.
One difficulty I see to go with CCK is to make search of database hotels. The other is integration withe ecommerce transaction process.

Well with that way to think
Well with that way to think it would also be better to develop your own CMS which is perfectly fit for Hotel businesses.
Not sure why you say CCK would not be feature rich with other modules like Views, Content Access, ACL and maybe shopping cart system ?
CCK is also a "de facto" standard module, very close core modules. If you develop anything in CCK today it will work in the future versions of CCK with Drupal in one or other way.
But if you develop a very narrow module only for hotel room reservation it is not even sure anyone have time to continue to contribute with development of it while CCK have a lot of developer since it's very wide user base.

Better to use an external service?
Hi
I would recomend the Hotel Booking system at Hotel Booking System @ www.internetbookingsystem.com
This works with both drupal or no drupal. This way you get a system that works and dont drop any reservations because of programing failure.
Good luck!
