StudentRoomBooker
University-adjacent room booking marketplace
What it is
StudentRoomBooker is a marketplace for finding a room next to campus: geo search, listings, chat with owners (Socket.IO), Stripe payments, and a role-based admin. The stack is React/Redux, Node/Express, MongoDB, Docker, and AWS.
Students do not want a generic classifieds site. They want “near my college,” a conversation with the owner, and a payment that does not feel like a scam.
Why I built it
Housing next to campus is still WhatsApp groups and Facebook posts. The product was built to make discovery, trust, and payment a single flow.
Whom it is for
Accommodation Hub — for students booking rooms and owners listing them, with admins moderating the marketplace.
Aim
Let a student find a room around campus, talk to the owner, and pay without leaving the product.
Goal
A working marketplace: geo, listings, chat, Stripe, and ops—not a landing page that promises housing.
Hope
That the first week of semester is less chaotic because housing search is a product, not a rumor mill.
