Challenges Faced

Implementing the booking logic with date-picking and availability checks was a significant challenge. Ensuring that a room could not be double-booked for the same date range required careful backend validation and state management on the frontend. Securing the booking endpoints with JWT authentication was also a critical part of development.

Potential Improvements & Future Plans

Future enhancements include adding a price filtering feature and an interactive map view to show room locations. I also want to implement a real-time messaging system for users to communicate with property owners. Integrating a secure online payment gateway is the next major milestone for this project.
