Is it possible to create a date picker that redirects to an external booking page for my hotel website?

Recommended Posts

Hello!

I was wondering if it would be possible to create a date picker that redirects to a third party booking page for my hotel website (www.calmarrufes.com). I've been told that their search engine accepts URL parameters, being id_idioma the language, fecha_entrada the date of check in and n_noches the number of nights. Here's the example of an availability search for the 1st of May for 4 nights: 

https://www.reservaonline.support/calmarrufes/reservas.html?1&id_idioma=1&fecha_entrada=01/05/2024&n_noches=4

I was imagining something clean an simple, something like the example of the image without the number of people selection. Anyone can help me?

Thanks in advance!

Hello all,

I have been asked by a client to make some updates to their self-catering accommodation site.

If you visit the current site, you'll see that it currently sends users off-site (via text hyperlinks & buttons) to check availability and book. 

The client's bookings are all managed by Reslynx and Guestline, and the page users currently book through was custom-built by another agency a while ago.

My question is do you think it would it be to design, build and embed :

  • one main date picker/calendar which searches availability across all properties
  • date picker/calendars for each individual property

    Ideally I'd like these to be embedded throughout the site - similar to the Lodgify widgets I added for another client: www.guardswell.co.uk/stay

The above is beyond my technical capabilities, but before I even start exploring this with developers I thought I'd see if anyone here had done something similar and had some advice?

Thank you!

The screenshot above is from a site of mine and it uses an integration from Lodgify (see my earlier post). As your requirement is bespoke (I don't know anyone using the reserva-online platform), you'll probably want to hire someone to write a custom solution (including JavaScript, HTML and CSS) to generate the URL query and then action it.
