Creating accommodation bookings

The Accommodation maintenance system in SynWeb allows you to create and maintain accommodation bookings in two ways: a normal accommodation booking and a calendar accommodation booking. You can use either or both systems, depending on your requirements.
A normal accommodation booking allows you to:

  • create bookings for either individuals or groups
  • reserve several different rooms within a single booking
  • allocate rooms to guests either automatically or per-guest
  • upload information about the guests such as their name and room preference.

A calendar accommodation booking allows you to:

  • view existing bookings and their statuses at a glance
  • quickly create a booking for one room
  • easily modify a booking's time, duration and location

The calendar accommodation booking system cannot:

  • book multiple rooms at a time
  • record information about the guests in the booking.


Note: The accommodation maintenance features are designed to primarily cater for bookings that stretch multiple days. For example, a conference or student exchange. If you want to book a room for single-day use, such as booking a lecture theatre to show a movie, use the Object Bookings feature. See Managing bookings.
