An intelligent conversational interface for querying hotel booking data using natural language processing and SQL generation.
Hotel Booking SQL + RAG Chatbot
An intelligent conversational interface that revolutionizes hotel booking data queries through natural language processing and automated SQL generation.
Project Overview
This advanced chatbot system bridges the gap between natural language and database queries, allowing users to interact with hotel booking data using everyday language. The system combines SQL generation with Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) to provide accurate, context-aware responses.

Bookings: id, hotel_id, guest_name, check_in, check_out, room_type, status
-- Guests table
Guests: id, name, email, phone, loyalty_status
-- Rooms table
Rooms: id, hotel_id, room_number, room_type, price_per_night, occupancy
Sample Queries Supported
- "Which hotels have the highest ratings in Mumbai?"
- "Show me all cancelled bookings for last month"
- "What's the average booking duration for luxury hotels?"
- "Find available rooms for weekend getaway under โน5000"
