I think you should probably let people handle accommodation themselves -
perhaps organize a discount for anyone booking some accommodation using
the word 'guadec' or something. Getting into mass booking is really
outside the scope of conference organization [although we've done it in
the past at times - it's turned out to be a bit of a nightmare].

Just give people options, put it on a website, and let them do it
themselves.
