The rapid development of information technology has increased the need for a more efficient and structured housing search system for students. This study aims to develop an integrated web-based information system for searching and booking boarding houses and rental properties in accordance with user requirements. The development method employed is the Waterfall model, which consists of the stages of Requirement Analysis, System Design, Implementation, and Testing. Data were collected through observations of Facebook social media, questionnaires distributed to 81 students, and interviews with 10 boarding house owners. The system was developed using PHP with the Laravel framework and a MySQL database. System testing was conducted using Black-box Testing and User Acceptance Testing (UAT) involving 20 respondents, resulting in a user satisfaction rate of 87.4%. The findings indicate that the developed system enhances the efficiency of housing searches and facilitates the online booking process. With a structured approach grounded in empirical needs, the system is considered effective and feasible as a web-based solution for searching and booking boarding houses.

This study successfully implemented a web-based information system for searching and booking boarding houses and rental properties using the Waterfall method.The developed system integrates the processes of property search, accommodation information presentation, and online booking within a single platform, addressing inefficiencies in the housing search process experienced by students.Based on testing and user acceptance evaluation, the system features operate according to requirements, are user-friendly, and effectively support interactions among students, property partners, and administrators.

Future research should explore the integration of online payment features and automated notifications via messaging applications to enhance user convenience and streamline the booking process. Furthermore, investigating the implementation of more robust user data security mechanisms, such as multi-factor authentication and data encryption, is crucial to protect sensitive user information and build trust in the system. Expanding the scope of the study to include a wider range of respondents from diverse geographical locations and academic institutions would provide a more comprehensive understanding of student housing needs and improve the systems generalizability. These enhancements, combined with the continued application of structured development methodologies, will contribute to the creation of a more effective and reliable web-based solution for student housing management, ultimately improving the overall experience for both students and property owners.
