Services · Mobile app development · Hotel apps
Codeeo delivers hotel app development in Saudi Arabia for hotel groups, branded operators and growing independent owners. We build guest apps, staff apps and a central dashboard that work the same way in Riyadh, Jeddah, the holy cities, the Eastern Province and new leisure destinations, while respecting the national rules every licensed property follows. Bookings, payments, guest registration data, e-invoices and service requests are designed to fit Saudi systems from day one, so the app supports compliance instead of creating new gaps.
Our Riyadh office can host planning workshops in person, and our wider team of 80+ across Riyadh, Dubai and Karachi has delivered 200+ projects in the UAE and the US. Properties in other Saudi cities join every session by video call. Arabic and English versions are designed side by side.

What a Saudi hotel app can include
A hotel app in the Kingdom has to work inside a national framework before it adds anything local. The Ministry of Tourism licenses and classifies hospitality facilities. The Ministry of Interior's Shomoos system receives guest data from accommodation providers. ZATCA sets the e-invoicing rules, SAMA oversees payments, and SDAIA enforces the Personal Data Protection Law. Guests expect Arabic first screens, mada and Apple Pay at checkout, and fast service in English for international visitors. Hotel guest app development in Saudi Arabia starts with these shared foundations, then adds the city features that each property needs, from pilgrim group tools to resort activity booking. Hotel booking app development in Saudi Arabia also has to respect the channel rules your group already has with online travel agents and corporate travel managers, so direct offers are planned with your revenue team rather than added as an afterthought.
One search across all your Saudi properties, filtered by city, dates and room type, with rates and stock pulled from each hotel's property management system. Guests booking Riyadh for business can add a Jeddah or AlUla stay in the same basket. Corporate and member rates appear once the guest signs in.
Direct bookings grow across the whole portfolio, not one hotel at a time.
Guests submit identity details before arrival through secure forms. The data passes to your property system, which handles the mandatory Shomoos reporting at check-in. The app never stores more than each step needs, and access is limited by role.
Faster check-in without weakening registration duties.
mada, Apple Pay, international cards and the STC Bank app where your payment provider supports them, plus SADAD for corporate or government accounts that settle bills that way. Deposits, pre-authorisations and refunds follow the rules of your acquiring bank.
Every guest finds a familiar way to pay.
Folios and charges from the app flow to the accounting or property system that issues your Fatoora compliant e-invoices. Corporate guests can enter their VAT details once and receive correct invoices for every stay across the group. Credit notes for refunds follow the same route.
Finance teams stop correcting invoices by hand.
Each property's official name, licence details and classification are shown consistently, matching what the Ministry of Tourism holds. This avoids mismatches between your app, your website and the booking platforms that now must list only licensed facilities.
Your listings stay consistent everywhere guests see them.
Phone number and password sign-in for every guest, with national digital identity options such as Nafath considered for Saudi residents where an approved provider route exists. International visitors sign in with email or phone without needing a Saudi ID.
Secure accounts for residents and visitors alike.
Points or tiers that travel with the guest from a Riyadh business stay to a family weekend on the Red Sea coast. Rules, partner rewards and member rates are managed centrally and apply automatically at every property. Corporate travellers can earn on business stays and redeem on family trips.
Guests choose your group in each city they visit.
Housekeeping, maintenance, concierge and food service teams receive tasks for their own hotel only, in Arabic or English. Head office sees response times across the portfolio and can spot where a property needs support. Shift handovers keep open tasks visible to the next team.
Service standards become measurable across every city.
Direct booking share, upsell revenue, request times, guest ratings and app usage, broken down by city, property and segment. Data exports feed the business intelligence tools your head office already uses. Reports can be scheduled weekly for owners and investors.
Owners compare properties on facts rather than anecdotes.
Optional modules switched on per property: group rooming and prayer aware schedules for the holy cities, beach and activity booking for coastal resorts, event packages for Riyadh, and long stay tools for serviced apartments in the Eastern Province. Modules can be added later without a new app download.
One platform serves very different hotels without clutter.
Who this is for
Saudi hospitality is growing in several directions at once: business hotels in Riyadh and the Eastern Province, pilgrim hotels in Makkah and Madinah, coastal properties around Jeddah and the Red Sea, and heritage and nature destinations such as AlUla and the Asir region. Operators expanding across these markets need one product that adapts to each. These four profiles describe where we usually help. Groups looking for hotel mobile app developers in Saudi Arabia usually begin by asking which properties should share a platform and which should stay separate, and that is where our first conversation starts too.
You run hotels in two or more cities, perhaps under different brands. Guests and staff need consistent tools, while each hotel still serves its own market. We build one platform with shared booking, payments, loyalty and reporting, then configure city modules per property. New hotels join the platform through a repeatable onboarding process rather than a fresh build. Head office keeps control of brand, rates policy and data, while general managers control daily operations in their own hotel.
Standard data rules across properties save months later.
You started in one city and now open in places that tourism programmes are developing, such as the Red Sea coast or AlUla. The guest mix changes from business to leisure, and international visitors arriving on tourist visas become important. The app has to sell experiences and explain local practicalities in English as clearly as in Arabic. Visitors also want to understand dress guidance, prayer times affecting opening hours and how to travel between sites, which the app can explain before arrival. Seasonal demand also differs sharply between the cooler months and summer, so packages and staffing in the app need to change with the calendar.
Your guests stay for weeks or months, often for work in Riyadh, Al Khobar or Dammam. They need contracts, monthly payments, maintenance requests and building notices more than restaurant menus. One app across all your buildings, with correct VAT invoices and clear house rules, reduces the load on your front office in every city. Corporate clients that house staff across several cities get one account and one statement.
Many Saudi hotels have an app that shows photos and a phone number but cannot take a booking or a request. We keep what works, connect the app to your hotel systems and add booking, payments and service requests. Existing store listings and reviews are kept where possible, so you do not start again from zero. We start with an audit of the current app, its reviews and its usage, and agree what to keep before writing any new code.
Store account ownership is checked before any rebuild.
How we work together
Single properties normally start with a fixed scope release. Groups planning a multi-city rollout usually combine a fixed scope core platform with a retainer for onboarding new hotels and adding modules. Larger operators often take a dedicated team, based partly in our Riyadh office, that works alongside their IT and digital staff. Every model includes written scopes, change control and full transfer of ownership. Support hours and response times are agreed per city, taking account of the different peak periods in Riyadh, the coast and the holy cities.
A defined build with a deadline
We agree what the product has to do, write it down with a price and a date, and build exactly that. Changes are priced before they are made, not discovered on the invoice.
A product that keeps evolving
Named engineers who work your hours, join your standups and stay on the codebase. You direct the backlog; we own the quality of what ships.
Something live that needs looking after
A monthly block of hours for improvements, fixes and the small requests that otherwise wait months. Unused hours carry for a quarter.
Technology
Native or cross platform mobile apps, a web dashboard for head office and properties, and an integration layer that talks to property, payment, accounting and loyalty systems. Hosting choices, including Saudi data residency where required, are made with your IT and compliance teams. Every integration is documented so your own team can maintain it.

Guest registration, e-invoicing, payments and personal data, at minimum.
Accommodation providers must report guest data through Shomoos, issue e-invoices under ZATCA rules, take payments through licensed providers and protect personal data under the PDPL. The app usually supports these duties rather than performing them, by collecting clean data and passing it to the systems that report. We map each obligation during discovery and confirm the owner of every step with your compliance team. Licensing details shown in the app are checked against Ministry of Tourism records before launch.
