It looks like you're probably trying to run that Django booking app with a version of Django that it was never designed to run with. It looks like the author of Django booking didn't lock down the django version in requirements.txt

https://github.com/bitlabstudio/django-booking/blob/master/requirements.txt

However, based on the last commit message for requirements.txt, it looks like Django 1.9 was the last version used.

Since the author didn't lock down dependency versions you might have quite a challenging time finding versions of the dependencies that work properly.
