Abstract: The increasing demand for short-term accommodation such as paying guest rooms and guest houses has highlighted the need for efficient and reliable digital booking platforms. Traditional guest room booking methods rely heavily on manual processes, phone calls, or informal communication, which often result in booking conflicts, data inconsistency, and poor customer experience. This paper presents the Guest Room Booking Application, a web-based system designed to automate and streamline the process of room listing, searching, booking, and management.

The application is developed using modern web technologies following the MERN stack architecture, where React is used for the frontend, Node.js and Express.js for the backend, and MongoDB for database management. The system supports role-based access control, allowing room owners to manage rooms and bookings while enabling customers to search, view, and reserve rooms online. Secure authentication using JSON Web Tokens (JWT), real-time booking status updates, and integrated dashboards enhance system usability and security.

Experimental results indicate that the proposed system significantly reduces booking errors, improves operational efficiency for room owners, and provides a smooth, user-friendly experience for customers. The Guest Room Booking Application offers a scalable and practical solution suitable for real-world deployment in small and medium-scale accommodation services.
