Hotel reservation gateway?

Hi, I have a moderately successful city guide website for an obscure location in China. I would like to add hotel reservations to my site. However, it's difficult to find the software to interface with the hotel reservation master system. I have found packages that cost $300 and others that cost $10,000.

My question:
  1. What is this category of reservation software called? It would help with my searching. For example, Joomla and PHPnuke are called "Content Management Systems (CMS).
  2. Has anyone here used such software?
  3. What do you recommend?

Obviously, I don't want to spend a lot of money, and equally as obviously, I don't want a shoddy solution. However, I don't even know the right questions to ask. My website runs on BSD/apache, and I use Drupal, if that makes a difference.

You have to go to the hotel franchises and ask them to work with you directly on it - you ought to be putting their interfaces on your system, in my view.

Since your guide is for one city, I'm sure that's the best (and easiest way).

I just visited your site and I love this...

Due to circumstances beyond our control, the Cheerleaders night has been cancelled. Evidently, the girls have exams on Saturday morning, and can't stay out on Friday night. It would have been nice to know this two weeks ago. Ningbo Guide apologizes for the disappointment - we were looking forward to it, too!
Aaaaah. No cheerleaders. DAAMN!

You know... everyone ought to have a cheerleaders night. Hell there should be one on webmaster-talk...


reservation software would, I suspect, be called "reservation software"

but seriously, my relatives ran franchise hotels in the USA for years and I think that what you need to do is talk to the top hotels and try and make deals with them - if they need convincing you have to throw big traffic figures at them

as for smaller hotels - you could set up your own software, as you appear to want to, but the LEAST COSTLY way to do that is write it yourself, it's not hard, and you can then make sure it's aligned with all the systems of all the smaller hotels - probably using email or their own online booking form

use ANY scripting language - jump in and learn as you go.

Otherwise set aside a couple of 1000 dollars, get a freelancer, and pay someone who already knows how to write scripts.

I have good experience in hotel reservation websites and can easily set this up for you. See below a sample I just made to see if this is what you are looking for:

FRONTEND: http://www.bestsoftinc.com/bsihbs/

BACKEND: http://www.bestsoftinc.com/bsihbs/admin/

(USERNAME: admin / PASSWORD: admin)



If you are interested I can do this for you real cheap as it takes a couple of hours to setup. However you need to have the following hosting requirements:

Server: Windows 2003 ASP 3.0.
and the following components:
CDOSYS Or ASPEMAIL

Let me know if you are interested here or send me a private PM.
