To create a feature in Webflow where users can add hotels to their favorite list and then review them later, you can follow these steps:

  1. Setting up the CMS:
  • Create a collection called "Hotels" in the Webflow CMS.
  • Add fields for hotel information such as name, description, image, etc.
  • Add a reference field called "Favorite List" to link the hotel to a user's favorite list.
  1. Creating the User Profile:
  • Create a collection called "Users" in the Webflow CMS.
  • Add fields for user information such as name, email, password, etc.
  • Add a multi-reference field called "Favorite Hotels" to store the hotels added to the user's favorite list.
  1. Creating the Favorite List:
  • Create a new page for the favorite list where users can view and manage their favorite hotels.
  • Add a dynamic list to display the hotels added to the user's favorite list.
  • Set the list to filter based on the current user's "Favorite Hotels" field.
  1. Adding Hotels to the Favorite List:
  • On each hotel page, add a button or link to add the hotel to the user's favorite list.
  • Use custom code or Webflow's interactions to trigger the addition of the hotel to the "Favorite Hotels" field.
  • Update the "Favorite List" reference field in the hotel collection to include the current user.
  1. Reviewing Favorite Hotels:
  • On the favorite list page, allow users to add reviews for the hotels in their list.
  • Create a review collection and add relevant fields such as rating, comments, etc.
  • Use a dynamic form to allow users to submit their reviews for each hotel.
  1. Displaying Reviews:
  • Add a dynamic list to display the reviews submitted for each hotel.
  • Set the list to filter based on the current hotel being viewed.
  • Use appropriate formatting and styling to display the reviews in a visually appealing manner.

Remember to also optimize the page for the search engines by ensuring proper meta tags, mobile responsiveness, and load time optimization. This will help improve the visibility of your feature to users searching for hotels or hotel reviews.
