Internet has become the first option to look for hotels when people travel, which makes it a great opportunity for hotels to have a web site with a booking engine included, which will offer comfort to their clients, and expand their sales to a wider market. This paper presents a customisable online booking system, which facilitates the control of room bookings to administrators of small hotels, managing the sales from their own web site; and facilitates and guarantees the bookings for their potential guests. Additionally, the online system can be automatically visualized in different mobile devices, following the responsive web design pattern.

Internet has become the first option to look for hotels when people travel, which makes it a great opportunity for hotels to have a web site with a booking engine included, which will offer comfort to their clients, and expand their sales to a wider market. This paper presents a customisable online booking system, which facilitates the control of room bookings to administrators of small hotels, managing the sales from their own web site; and facilitates and guarantees the bookings for their potential guests. Additionally, the online system can be automatically visualized in different mobile devices, following the responsive web design pattern.
