Ability to book linked rooms without being linked
Sometimes you need two separate rooms for a meeting (e.g. two workshops, afterwards everything together). If you choose one room which is able to be linked with another one and you choose as second room the other one, they are always linked. You do not have the possibility to book these rooms in one booking separate.
It would be better to have the possibility to say whether you want them to be linked or to be separated.

We are happy to announce that we have included this suggestion in our latest update.
Now when you add a conference endpoint from ‘Rooms & connections’ on the booking form, it will no longer automatically try to link the two rooms together. This allows you to create a single booking with two separate rooms, even if they are part of a linked room group.
You can continue to link rooms using the ‘Basic details’ tab.

We have this and it's called a part booking in our business. We use the notes fields on bookings and show this on the booking grid, so Admin's are aware that it's related to another booking.
It would be great to allow creation of an over-arching master booking that can contain different rooms at different times, if holding an evening event or dinner (originally suggested by Dee Patel, seconded by me).
