great job on this. one question, how do you know if you have availability to be able to sell the hotel room? Are you checking an availability file or just taking the reservation? what if the client books it and it isnt available?
I am working on a similar application and was curious how you handle this. My application is for a the actual property so I have to know if I can give that room or not.....
I'am evaluating nopCommerce to implement an online booking system for a travel agency. That should include hotels booking as well private houses. Holidays and Tour packages should be also an option.
The problem arise at the price calculation, because the final price depends on persons amount, nights, and other relative conditions as dates. Do you have a workaround for that problem?

Hey looks good, but wish list gives error on this page: http://www.lankahotelsonline.com/ErrorPage.htm?aspxerrorpath=/Products/55-cinnamon-grand-colombo-sri-lanka.aspx
Sorry for late reply. You can do it by changing availability. i have not included availability check with hotels as in sri lankan(My country) context it is hard to get a common platform to every hotel to work with. But if you need to check online you can easily change it to update service /or web service and use separate user control to do the calculations. in that case you can just have completely independent module which work with nopcom. let me know if u need more details . On the other hand you can have separate tables with information on back end if you want to manage it from back end. you can have separate control to calculations.
Yes i am working on that it is possible to do but need code changes. it is possible to do the calculations based on the parameters.. even if you check the existing code you can find some places where you can change code. i have noted some places in the previous post.
as just a note-- you can create common control with no of guest,no of nights even you may need child policy as well. some times you may need meal plans as well as supplementary. After calculation you can pass calculation to check out module. even meal plan and supplementary can add as different items for one product if you seek work around.
