Hotel Management System - Python - Unique Booking for a Room fails

[akshatanand186]

The status attribute associated with the class Room, makes it unavailable for other bookings if the Booking period does not collide with the previous booked rooms.

Let's say I say booked Room 1 for 13-09 till 15-09, now the status of this Room is made BOOKED, and if another guest tries to make a booking from 17-09 till 22-09, he is not allowed to book.

I'm not sure if this behaviour is expected but there can be some solutions to this problem.
Possible Solution: creating another map to store datewise bookings for a room

Pros: cancel bookings, make bookings, checking valid booking requests can be easy.

Cons: not sure if this is best design practise
