Bookeo for small B&B?

Has anyone used Bookeo to take bookings and payments for a small B&B operation (up to three rooms) or similar and can confirm it would be suitable for this purpose? I have read the Incomedia Bookeo guide and looked on Bookeo's own website but it is not clear whether it supports this particular usage.
Alternatively, does anyone have any other suggestions for a low cost bookings/payment gateway that would integrate easily with X5 and serve a similar purpose?
Many thanks.

Hello Malcolm,
I cannot comment personally on Bookeo, but I have used quite a few scripts (including booking scripts) from PHP Jabbers in the past.
They were all easy to implement into WebSite X5 projects. Instructions are provided with each script. I felt the cost was reasonable too.

Hopefully someone else will come along and give you advice on Bookeo.
Kind regards,

Hi Paul,
Thanks for your very helpful suggestions.
The PHPJabbers hotel booking script looks very promising, especially for a reasonable 1-off cost. The only potential disadvantage I can see on a quick run through the demo is that the payments system appears to be limited to PayPal or cash, otherwise it looks almost exactly what I need.
This is all at a preliminary planning stage at the moment, so I'll see what anyone else comes up with meanwhile, but at least I have something now that I can run past the client next week.
Any further suggestions or feeback from anyone else welcome, please.
Best,
Malcolm
You're welcome.
Yes, PayPal (and Authorize.NET) are the native payment gateways, but you can use almost any other of your choice... see the following for full details:

Also, if you are comfortable with PHP programming and buy the Developer licence as opposed to the User licence, then you can implement any third party gateway yourself, as you are given full access to the source code.
Best of luck!
