About the client

A small hotel group in Edinburgh wanted guests to search rooms, hold a date range and pay a deposit without sending the booking desk an email.

The existing site was a brochure. Availability lived in a property system that reception already used; the brief was to put that in front of the guest.

Project overview

We shipped a booking app: destination and dates, a short list of rooms, and a deposit payment the group could reconcile.

Availability is read from the property system agreed in the scope. The app does not invent a second stock of rooms.

Functionality

Search by dates, destination and party size
Room rates taken from the property system
Hold and deposit payment with a clear paid or not status
Map browse of the group’s hotels
Property photos and copy editable without a full release

Solution

Guests search by dates and party size. Results show the rate the property system returned, not a cached guess.
A hold and a deposit sit on a written payment flow. Failed payments do not look like a confirmed stay.
A map of the group’s hotels is a browse path, not a substitute for availability.
Content for each property (photos, amenities, house rules) is editable without a developer for every caption.

Project results

Guests can book a stay without emailing the desk.

Rates and rooms come from the system reception already runs.

Deposits are visible as paid or not, not as a maybe.

Property copy can change without a full release.

Customer review

“Guests book dates and a deposit without emailing the desk. The rooms on the app are the same rooms reception already had in the property system.”
