OpenBooking is a search engine for bookable accommodations. The metasearch crawls through various booking systems according to previously defined criteria. These queries take place in real-time to guarantee current price information and availability. Available accommodations are listed clearly and homogenously regardless of their type.

The project has provided two years of anonymized bookings for us to use, along with supplementary datasets of hotels and apartments.

Um möglichst anonym zu bleiben, publizieren wir Ferienwohnungen und Hotels nur mit ihrer Geo-Position. Mit der Postleitzahl könnte es wieder etwas kritisch werden. Zudem geben wir die Suchabfragen von 2015 und 2016 frei, damit Vergleiche möglich sind. Enthalten sind Suchdatum, checkin, Nächte, Erwachsene und Kinder.
