Show Double Rooms Even If Dorm Availability Exists (Improve Room Selection Logic)
Open
Currently, if a dormitory bed is available for the full stay, the system prioritizes it and doesn’t show partially available private rooms (like double rooms), even if a room switch could make the booking possible.
This is a problem especially for couples, who often don’t want to stay in a dorm — even if it’s available.
For example:
A couple wants to stay 7 nights.
One double room is available for the first 3 nights.
Another double is available for the remaining 4 nights.
But since the dorm is available for all 7 nights, the system only shows the dorm, and not the two doubles.
As a result, we lose potential bookings because guests don’t see the option to split their stay across private rooms — even when they’re happy to switch rooms.
Suggestion:
Even if a dorm is available for the full stay, the system should also show partially available private rooms (e.g. double, twin, etc.).
Offer the option to combine multiple rooms across the stay.
Clearly indicate that a room change will be required, and let the guest choose.
This would be especially helpful for small guesthouses with limited private room inventory and would help convert more couple bookings who are otherwise discouraged by dorm-only options.
Thank you for considering this improvement!
