Abstract
The hotel industry is a business venture for the owner and a
solace for the traveler and/or tourist. A customer can get
stranded in the quest to secure a hotel room to pass the night if
he has not made adequate plans by the existing system. Through
this study, it was realized that for a customer to be guaranteed a
room, he or she has to physically come to the hotel since the
attendants paid more attention to that. He could also send a
friend or relative who lives around the neighbourhood of the
hotel to do the booking for him. There is nothing to bond the
hotel and the customer in person that he has indeed booked for a
room. This study took Hansonic Hotel as its case. It looked at
creating an online reservation system to enable customers choose
the room they wanted after a virtual tour to guarantee him a
room.
Keywords: reservation, hotel, customer.

close by hotels are fully booked? Other times you may be
lucky to...
