    I'm looking for an hotel booking system tool to implement in a medium hotel website.
    Something based on PHP MySQL is ideal, better if can be implemented in an existing custom design.
    (features: booking/reservation, program/package reservation, online payment.)
    Thanks for your suggestions!

    Danger Will Robinson.... Much of this sort of thing is done by hooking into the client's existing reservation system, that way you don't have:

    1. double booking of same room
    (web + other = same room/day = oops!)

    or

    2. lockout problems.... where you allocate x rooms to web and x rooms to old system, then, well, sometimes you want to re-allocate rooms when one block is booked up... and uh, lose money....

    I did an implementation using the Opera Booking Engine, seems to be the industry standard:

    Would the system need to interface with an internal booking system or would the entire booking system be web-based? I learned that there is a lot involved in booking systems like room allocation, packages, discounts, etc., but I guess there are different levels depending on the scale of the property.
