Microsoft Bookings for small holiday accommodations businesses
Hi Kushla,
Bookings is not really designed for that scenario, but with a little extra work you can set up a workaround with some limitations.
1. You would need to add each room as a staff member
2. You would need to add the kind of rooms as services (I.e. Queen room, 2 twin beds, etc) and assign the staff/room to each service
3. You would need to setup specific time frames for each service (I.e. Set up 30 mins long per service)
4. You need to set your business hours from 3-30pm each day. This way, your customers can only book one service per day.
I set this up with one bedroom as a test and it worked. You can see it https://outlook.office365.com/owa/calendar/TrialGabrielhotel@microsoft.onmicrosoft.com/bookings/
Let me know if you have questions, depending on how many rooms you have, this could take a while to setup.

i m looking for using office 365 in our small hotel and saw microsoft bookings. i saw your post about reservation system small hotel.
we have 13 double rooms who can be sold a 1 and as 3 pers room. is there a way i can make a booking system for that ? 3 pers. can stay out if to difficult..
thank you
- Hi Micha - Hotel reservations in Bookings are a bit tricky, because your clients would need to book separately each day they want to stay. You would need to create 13 "services" which would equate to each room and make them bookable "per day" in the "Default duration" when creating the service.
Hope this helps!
