Project Description: Hotel Calendar Integration with Booking.com

In response to the need for efficient reservation management in accommodation facilities, we implemented a service that integrates a hotel calendar with the Booking.com platform. This solution ensures data consistency between the local reservation system and the international Booking.com platform, eliminating the risk of double bookings.

The key component of this solution is an application that generates an iCal file at regular intervals. This file is then fetched by Booking.com, which automatically updates reservations in its system based on the provided information. As a result, when a customer makes a reservation through the hotel’s website, the room availability on Booking.com is updated, preventing the possibility of double booking the same room.

Additionally, to ensure full synchronization, we implemented a script that regularly retrieves the iCal file from the Booking.com platform. This script analyzes reservation data contained in the file and compares it with the hotel’s database. If it detects an existing reservation in the local database, it automatically blocks the corresponding date, preventing potential conflicts.

The technologies used in this project, such as database synchronization mechanisms, iCal format parsers, and automated scripts, ensure seamless and rapid operation of the entire system. As a result, the hotel benefits from an efficient, automated integration with one of the world’s largest reservation systems, providing an exceptional experience for its guests.
