Hotel and guesthouse websites

A hotel that only sells through booking portals pays a commission on every night. Direct booking on your own site removes that on the rooms you fill yourself. We built, installed and measured a booking system that does this: room types and availability, nightly price rules, a guest form, payment on the provider's own page, and a confirmation that only counts once the payment is verified.

What it does

The working part, not the brochure

Every item below is already running on a site we built.

  • Room types, calendar and live availability
  • Nightly price rule, with optional discounts for longer stays
  • The amount is always calculated on the server, never taken from the browser
  • Card details never reach our servers: payment happens on the provider's own page
  • A held room is released automatically when the payment window expires
  • Hotel panel: reservation list, calendar, close a room, cancel and refund
  • Legal pages for distance selling, cancellation and data protection
  • Site in Turkish and English, and we run one site in eighteen languages

Questions from this sector

Can guests book and pay directly on my site?

Yes. The guest picks dates and a room, and the payment happens on the payment provider's own page.

Could a guest change the price in the browser?

No. The amount is calculated on the server. We tested this by sending a false amount from the browser, and the server kept its own figure.

What stops the same room being sold twice?

The availability count is locked while a booking is being made. Under a concurrency test, twenty simultaneous attempts produced one booking and nineteen clean refusals.

What happens if a guest starts a payment and abandons it?

The room is held for a set window and released automatically when it expires, so the calendar does not silently fill with unpaid holds.

Can I close a room or refund a booking myself?

Yes, from the hotel panel: list, calendar, close a room, cancel and refund.
