Guest users can view, check and book different villas, resorts and even camps for holidays whereas the hosts of this app like Airbnb can submit their property to be listed as luxurious resorts, chalets, hotels, and camps.
Moreover, this hotel app is not only giving a glimpse of the rooms, hotels, and lobbies through images. In fact, this best app for hotel booking or we can say one of the best apps like Airbnb provides a VR experience in the mobile app. Guests can take a VR tour of this hotel property and experience the atmosphere virtually before booking it. It helps customers to choose the right place to book.
Our Client and His Project Requirements
Based in Saudi Arabia, our client is a professional photographer who was looking to book a chalet or resort in Saudi Arabia. However, he searched on the web, found the complete list of chalets and resorts and then started calling one-by-one. This entire process took his hours of time to book just one chalet or resort, so he realized this problem that almost all the people must be facing when booking a villa in Saudi Arabia.
Realizing this problem, he decided to develop a mobile app like Airbnb to book chalets, hotels, resorts, villas, and camps. He wanted to build an app similar to Airbnb so that users can view, check and book chalets from the comfort of their home and seat back relax to enjoy their holidays.
Online Platform and Solution We Provided to Our Client
After comprehending our client’s requirements, we instantly got ready to work on this project as we have hands-on experience in developing an online cloud-based platform that is similar to Airbnb. After understanding our client’s needs, our business team prepared a WBS (Work Breakdown Structure) document to give a structural view of the entire project.
We suggested our client – to develop two different variants in a mobile app, including an app for guests and app for hosts to list down their chalets, villas, and resorts. We also suggested developing an admin panel with the most useful features that decrease the hassle of managing requests manually.
Our suggested Airbnb like app solution impressed our client and he instantly likes the idea of developing a complete solution to manage day-to-day operations like bookings, cancellations, earnings and entire business with just a single click.

Appreciation from Clients

I would like to thank the entire Space-O team for helping us with our photo editing app. We have been working with other developing teams before, and we were able to find Space-O. And all the other developers failed to deliver all great working apps for us. Space-O helped to design the app in a very user-friendly way. They helped us to navigate solutions for the app. And overall went above and beyond with our request.
Olivia Grande

This was the first app I’ve ever developed and they been extremely helpful every step of the way, answering questions, writing recommendations, and tips. If you’re looking for a high-quality app, definitely go with Space-O technologies.

When we started 2 years ago, the main struggle was to find the right developing team, because the problem was we were all quite demanding in terms of quality. And, this showed that we were able to develop some successful apps. But, this would not have been possible without Space-O.
Aamir Jaffar

I hired them for a BA assignment for a project. They did a fantastic job. Quite professional and also good at making the customer understand non technical aspects. Put their mind to think like the customer. A guy named Jaimin was assigned as the work lead and really appreciate his knowledge, understanding customer perspective on the assignment and come up with very valid suggestions. Recommended for mobile app development.

We searched online for app developers that had an extensive experience in mobile app development as well as a strong presence in the market. We chose Space-O specifically because of the up-close experience we had with another app they had developed and we wanted to achieve the same high level of standards, quality, and satisfaction. We were looking for brilliant experts and we found them.

Space-O Technologies showed genuine interest in the project. The efficient team delivered quality results at a cost-effective price. We wanted to develop a minimum viable product that would be ready for scalability. It was a great experience working with them. We are so happy that we had the chance to meet Space-O. We love their work. Their project management and structure were amazing. The team loved what they were doing. There was passion behind every single piece of work.

The app was successfully launched and fulfilled original expectations. The Space-O Technologies team was communicative and effective in completing the project. The app is available in the Google Play store, and we’re thrilled with the final product. They were a highly efficient team to work with. They were strong communicators—whenever I had an issue they were available. Additionally, they were timely in getting deliverables to us.

Eugene, Vlad, Jigar and their respective teams have been fantastic on all the various apps they have worked on and developed for us over the past 18 months. They are always proactive, responsive to questions and consistently provide top quality development and design work. The use of Skype, email and their own project management tool also makes it easy to keep track on how a project is progressing. I would highly recommend Space-O Technologies for any iOS development or design.
Mark

I can't say enough about how great of a partner Space-O has been to work with over the past year. They were always pushing the project forward and ensuring quality checks at every turn, even pieces of my app that I should have caught before sending to development. Will definitely be referring any clients of mine to Space-O and will have them first on my list of partners to work with.
