The Basics of Hotel Booking App Development, one must know 

Before beginning to create an mobile application there are a few things to consider. 

First Pick an idea: 

Before beginning a reservation application advancement you should consider application's idea. By and large, there are 3 distinct methodologies that characterize your business thought behind Hotel application development. Along these lines, you can either:

2. Create an app for your own hotel chain 
3. Last minute booking app

2. Mobile App for a particular Hotel Chain: Marriott and Hilton chain of hotels have their own app. Useful idea for big players who can constantly invest and enhance their mobile app features.

Some of the key features of Hotel Booking App:

  • location (a city they are going to visit);
  • date (a period of time between arrival and departure);
  • number of persons (they are usually divided into adults/children/pets categories).

  • At a Glance - includes all the basic info about a hotel (like its address, check-in and check-out time etc).
  • Image Gallery  - This section allows creating a visual representation of room facilities.
  • Accommodation offers - a list of available rooms with photos, descriptions and prices.
