1. Overview

Booking requests are saved in the browser. They stay in booking lookup after a refresh or a return visit, and overlapping requests for the same dates are blocked.

Connected at rollout: payment and deposit confirmation, date sync with outside booking channels and property management systems, text and email sending, an admin screen (approving and declining requests), and server storage to see the same booking on several devices.

2. Challenges

1. Lodging bookings stop at "So how much is it?"

If weekday and weekend rates, minimum nights and extra guest fees require an inquiry, most guests go to another place. Total and breakdown should appear the moment dates and guests are entered.

2. A private house takes one group at a time.

When requests arrive for dates already booked, each one needs a decline message. Overlapping dates should be blocked at the request step, and open dates found first.

3. Checking a booking afterwards should be easy.

Guests should be able to check and cancel their booking with just the booking number and phone number, so fewer calls and messages need answering.

3. Structure

Everything from the introduction to booking runs on one page. Price calculation, overlap notices and open date search update right inside the booking section, and booking lookup opens over the page without leaving it. Adding `#reservations` to the end of the address opens booking lookup directly.

4. Key Features

Price by dates and guests

Every change to check-in, check-out, or the number of adults and children recalculates the total and breakdown. Weekday nights at ₩890,000, Friday and Saturday nights at ₩1,090,000, and ₩50,000 per person per night above 6 guests are shown line by line (₩ = Korean won). If the stay is shorter than the 2-night minimum or exceeds the maximum (10 guests for the whole house), the reason is shown instead of a price. Choosing a small gathering or tea room rental asks for a single "date of use".

Blocking overlapping dates · finding open dates

If the dates overlap an existing request by even one day, "Those dates are already booked" appears and saving is blocked. Cancelled bookings are left out of this check. "Check open dates" finds the nearest 2 nights with no overlap and fills in the date fields.

Booking request and booking number

After checking the name, phone format, and consent to the privacy and refund policies, saving shows a booking number (TH-sequence) with the dates and amount. The status stays as "Booking requested".

Booking lookup and cancellation

"Check booking" in the header lists bookings newest first, and finds a booking only when both the booking number and phone number match. Dates, nights, guests, amount and requests are kept together, and cancelling changes the status to "Cancelled" and opens the same dates again.

• Space tab galleryThree rooms, the pool, breakfast and a tea field walk are browsed with tabs and left and right buttons, or with a swipe on phones.
• Ways to rentTapping the button on a way-to-rent card scrolls to the booking section with that option selected.
