We tried self-service recurrent bookings in our previous booking software and it created more problems that it solved! While many members easily understand recurrent bookings, many other didn't. We ended up having to explain a lot of charges they didn't anticipate and had many of our rooms booked but vacant. One of the elements that we like most about Nexudus is the simplicity of their member portal, we don't have to train new members how to use it and the options are limited to those that make sense for most users.
Nexudus supports recurrent bookings made by admins, and that's how we deal with when one is required. We know what we are doing when making a recurrent booking and that prevents any billing issues down the month or over booking. Having said that, I understand your needs and member base may be different. One of the greatest things about the member portal system, is that you have full access to all the files in it and they use a neat scripting language to easily extend it. So I'm sure you could build support for recurrent bookings yourself, the back-end already supports it, so I'm pretty sure it is possible bring that to the front-end.
