Project: Airbnb host management application

Summary

Airbnb offers limited tools to its hosting clients. If these hosts have lots of rooms to rent they need better tools to manage all the arrival and departure organization for their guests. This web application allows a host to see all their bookings and to automatically send requests for additional information to their guests which then updates their central planner. Then they know exactly which time a guest will arrive, from where, if they have bags etc.
Furthermore, the host can generate MIS reports and see how their business is operating.

Technologies

PHP, MySQL, JavaScript.

Challenges

Getting the data from Airbnb, reverse engineering it and then re-using it within the host’s application.
