I want an Android (and ideally iOS) application that reproduces only the booking workflow of the Looh app I linked above. The focus is on hostels, with the booking engine allowing guests to reserve single beds, private rooms, or full dorm rooms just as they do in Looh. Core flow • Search or browse hostels by city, dates, and number of guests • Real-time availability check for the three room/bed types mentioned • Clean calendar view that locks a spot for a short grace period while the guest completes payment • In-app confirmation and push/email receipt Because the project is feature-limited to booking, extra modules such as user profiles or review systems are not required for this first release. A lightweight admin or web dashboard that lets hostel managers load inventory and change prices would be useful, but keep it minimal—basic CRUD and a simple occupancy report are enough. Deliverables 1. Cross-platform codebase (Flutter, React Native, or native—state the stack you recommend) 2. Fully functional APK/IPA ready for store submission 3. Simple web or mobile-web admin panel for inventory management 4. Source code, build scripts, and a short hand-over document Acceptance criteria • A test hostel listing can be searched and a single bed, private room, and dorm room can each be booked end-to-end with a dummy gateway in under five minutes. • No crashes on Android 8+ and iOS 13+. • Admin edits to price or inventory reflect in the guest app within one minute. When replying, include a high-level timeline and a milestone-wise cost breakdown so I can see where the bulk of the work sits.

Your booking engine will fail at scale if you lock inventory during checkout without a proper queue system — guests will see "available" beds that are already held by abandoned carts, causing double-bookings during peak season. Quick questions - are you planning to integrate a real payment gateway like Stripe or Razorpay from day one, or will you add that post-MVP? And do you need the admin panel to support multiple hostel owners, or is this single-property for now? Here's the architectural approach: - REACT NATIVE: Cross-platform codebase with shared business logic, native calendar components for iOS/Android, and real-time Firebase sync so inventory updates propagate to all clients within 30 seconds. - PHP BACKEND: RESTful API handling availability checks, reservation locks with 10-minute TTL, and webhook integration for payment confirmation so bookings auto-release if guests abandon checkout. - ADMIN DASHBOARD: Lightweight React web app with role-based access, CSV bulk upload for initial inventory, and a daily occupancy heatmap showing bed-level availability across the next 90 days. I've built similar booking systems for 2 hospitality clients that process 500+ reservations per day without inventory conflicts. Let's schedule a 20-minute call to finalize the payment flow and milestone structure before I draft the formal SOW.

You’re right. I should have checked the length more carefully. Here is a much shorter version, safely under 1,500 characters, while still answering the client’s request for timeline and milestone costs: Hi, I can build your hostel booking MVP focused on the core flow: searching hostels, checking real-time availability, and booking a single bed, private room, or full dorm. I recommend Flutter for one maintainable iOS/Android codebase, with a lightweight web admin panel for inventory, pricing, and occupancy. Key areas I’ll handle: * Search by city, dates, and guests * Real-time inventory and availability * Calendar with temporary booking hold * Dummy payment and booking confirmation * Push/email receipts * Admin CRUD for hostels, rooms, beds, and pricing * APK/AAB and iOS TestFlight-ready builds The booking logic will be designed to prevent double bookings and ensure admin inventory/price changes reach the app quickly. Estimated timeline: 6–8 weeks. Milestones: 1. Architecture & booking database – 20% 2. Mobile search and booking flow – 30% 3. Admin panel – 20% 4. Payment, notifications & testing – 20% 5. Final QA, handover & deployment – 10% I have 9+ years of mobile development experience, including iOS, Flutter, APIs, Firebase, and production deployments. I’ll focus on a clean, scalable booking foundation without adding unnecessary features. I’d be happy to review the Looh reference and discuss the backend approach.

Bed-level inventory is the tricky part here, not the booking UI. A dorm bed sold individually has to lock without blocking the whole room, so the data model needs per-bed records tied to a room parent, not just a room count. I'd build it in React Native with a Node/Supabase backend, add the 10-minute payment hold, and ship a lightweight web admin for pricing and occupancy. 1) Which payment gateway, Stripe, Razorpay, or local? 2) Do managers need multi-property support on day one? I will share the milestone breakdown in chat. Cheers Shayan

Hi, Booking only, with beds, private rooms and full dorms as three inventory types, plus a minimal admin for hostels to load stock and prices. Cutting profiles and reviews from release one is the right call. The hard part here is inventory, not the UI. A dorm sold bed-by-bed means one room's availability changes as individual beds go, and selling the whole dorm has to lock every bed in it. Add the grace-period hold during payment and you need those seat locks to expire reliably, or you end up either double-booking or holding beds nobody bought. I would build it in Flutter with a Node backend and get that locking logic right first. Can you ping me here? I will give you a milestone breakdown once I know your inventory scale. Thanks, Raj

The key technical challenge here is not the UI—it is preventing double-booking when several guests try to reserve the same bed or room at the same time. I would build the guest app in Flutter so Android and iOS share one codebase, with PostgreSQL/Supabase for inventory, availability, bookings, and temporary reservation holds. Availability would be calculated server-side for single beds, private rooms, and full dorm bookings, with transactional locking and an expiring hold while payment is completed. The first release would include city/date/guest search, hostel and room selection, calendar availability, booking hold, dummy payment flow, confirmation, email/push notification, and a lightweight web admin for rates, inventory, and occupancy. Admin changes would update through the backend immediately, keeping the guest application synchronized without app releases. Estimated timeline: 3–4 weeks. Suggested milestones: • Booking architecture + database: ₹7,500 • Flutter search/availability/booking flow: ₹12,000 • Admin inventory/pricing panel: ₹7,000 • Notifications, testing, store builds and handover: ₹9,000 Total MVP: ₹35,500 Should hostel inventory be managed bed-by-bed with individual bed IDs, or only as available bed quantities per dorm/room type?
