Hotel guest app

Your hotel's own app, from booking to check-out

Guests book their room direct with you, check in before they arrive, order to the room, book the spa or a table, and message the front desk from their phone. They see the bill as it grows and pay by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay. Your staff answer every request from one screen, and you run rooms, rates and offers for one hotel or every property from one console.

Your app. Built your way. Launched fast.

Plenty of companies will sell you a template and leave you to work around it. We build the app around your business: every feature you want, your brand on every screen, and any idea you bring us.

  • Fast to launch

    We have built apps like this before, so we never start from a blank page. Your app goes live fast, on a date we agree with you in writing.

  • Fully customised

    Every screen, feature and rule is set up for the way you work. Want something nobody else has? Tell us and we'll build it.

  • Under your name

    Your logo, your name, your own Apple and Google accounts. Your customers and their data are yours.

  • See it before you commit

    Your proposal shows the screens, how it all works, a written quote and when it launches. No surprises.

One hotel system, a part for everyone

Guests, your staff and the owner each have their own tools, working from the same rooms and bookings.

  • Guest app

    Book, stay and come back.

    • Book rooms and packages direct
    • Check in online before arrival
    • Room service, spa, dining and chat
  • Staff app

    Where the team answers guests.

    • Requests and orders as they come in
    • Arrivals, departures and room status
    • Reply to guests in one tap
  • Admin console

    Where you run the hotel.

    • Rooms, rates and offers
    • One property or several
    • Bookings, payments and reports

One app or separate apps: your choice

Everything above can be built as a single app or as separate apps. Both run on the same system and do the same things.

  • A single app

    Everyone downloads the same app and signs in. Customers see the customer screens; your staff, drivers or riders see theirs. One store listing, one app to keep up to date, and simpler to put together.

  • Separate apps

    Your customers get their own app with its own store listing, and your team gets theirs. Each app shows only what that person needs.

Either way, you run the business from a dashboard in any web browser. Not sure which suits you? Tell us how you work and we'll recommend one.

What guests and hotels expect

The booking guests know from the big travel sites, and everything they would otherwise ask the front desk for, on their phone.

  • Direct booking

    Rooms, packages and dates from your own availability, booked and paid in your app.

  • Online check-in

    Guests send their details and arrival time before they come, so arrival takes a minute.

  • Room service

    Your menu in the app, ordered to the room and added to the bill.

  • Spa and dining

    Treatments and tables booked from the app, at the times you have free.

  • Chat with reception

    Guests ask for towels, a taxi or a late check-out by message, in their own language.

  • The bill and payments

    Guests see what they have spent as they go, and pay by card, Apple Pay, Google Pay or at the desk.

  • Your guide

    Your own tips for the area, opening hours, the Wi-Fi and the house rules, always to hand.

  • Offers and loyalty

    Members' rates and offers for guests who come back, sent to their phone.

  • Private guest data

    Each guest's bookings and details are seen only by the guest and your own staff.

  • Languages

    As many languages as you need, for guests and staff.

What the hotel gains

More bookings kept direct, and more extras ordered during the stay.

  • More bookings direct

    Guests who stayed once book their next stay in your app, with no commission to a booking site.

  • More spent during the stay

    With room service, spa and dining a tap away, guests order more of them.

  • A quieter front desk

    Check-in details, requests and questions arrive in the app, so staff spend the day with guests in front of them.

  • Guests who come back

    Offers go to past guests when you have rooms to fill, and you see who books from them.

Shown with sample branding. Your logo, name and colours go in its place.

Your hotel on every guest's phone

Guests open your app, see your name and book with you. This is where your logo goes.

  • Guest app under your own Apple and Google developer accounts.
  • Your logo and colours on the app, confirmations, messages and bills.
  • Guests are your guests, and their data stays private to them and your hotel.
  • No mention of Baal anywhere a guest can see.

Need more than the guest app?

A connection to your hotel software, a loyalty scheme, a screen for your tours or your villas: whatever your hotel needs, we build it around you.

  • Connections

    Your hotel software, channel manager, accounting and messaging tools.

  • Your own rules

    Booking, deposit, cancellation and request rules designed around your hotel.

  • Your data, always

    Guests, bookings and payments export at any time.

Frequently asked questions

Is the app published under my hotel's name?

Yes. The guest app goes into your own Apple and Google developer accounts, with your hotel's name and logo.

How is this different from the hotel booking app?

The hotel booking app is a marketplace where many properties list and guests compare them. This one is your hotel's own app: only your rooms, your services and your guests.

We have more than one property. Does it work for all of them?

Yes. Guests choose the property when they book, each has its own rooms, rates and services, and you see them all in one console.

Is guest data private?

Yes. A guest's bookings, details and messages are seen only by that guest and your own staff. Baal does not use or share them.

Which payments work?

Cards, Apple Pay and Google Pay through your own payment account, or pay at the desk.

How long does it take to launch?

Fast. We have built apps like this before, so the time goes on what makes yours different: your brand, your rooms, menus and services, and approval by Apple and Google. Your proposal gives you a launch date.

Which languages does it support?

As many as you need. Guests and staff each choose their own.

Can I see a demo?

The screens on this page show what your app can look like. Yours is built around your business, so we start with a proposal: the screens, how it works, a written quote and when it launches.
