It's better if you build a PowerApps to handling and booking the room. Reason for this is that you can't block double booking in a calender i SharePoint

mymediahelper SharePoint cannot - and has never been able to - prevent double bookings in the calendar. That's why NicolasKheirallah suggested Power Apps. The end user might not be able to build an app, and you might not want them to, but in your IT department you've probably got people who know how to do it. I built a desk booking app in Power Apps with a SharePoint list as the backend which worked across 16 offices for 3 years, with over 30,000 bookings and it was impossible for bookings to clash. It can be done; just don't expect the SharePoint calendar to prevent clashes!
