Services · Ecommerce development · Hotel booking sites
Codeeo handles hotel booking website development in Saudi Arabia for hotel groups, independent owners and serviced apartment operators. We build the public booking site, the rate and availability engine behind it, and the payment, refund and invoicing flows, so a guest can choose a room, pay with mada or Apple Pay and receive a compliant invoice without calling reception. Every part is designed around national rules: Ministry of Tourism licensing, the PDPL, ZATCA e-invoicing and SAMA payment requirements.
Online travel agencies will always sell some of your rooms. A booking site you own is how you keep the rest of the margin, the guest relationship and the data that tells you who stays with you and why they come back. That is the real purpose of hotel online booking system development in Saudi Arabia: more direct revenue on rooms you already have.

What the booking platform covers
A Saudi hotel booking site has more to do than show rooms and a button. It has to price correctly across seasons that move with the Hijri calendar, take payment through methods guests here actually use, issue invoices ZATCA will accept, and hand clean guest data to the property management system so the front desk can complete the Shomoos registration on arrival.
We treat the site as a sales system rather than a brochure. Rates, inventory, deposits, cancellations and refunds are modelled first, then the design is built around them in Arabic and English, with Arabic as the default for local guests and a full right to left layout. For groups with properties in several cities, one platform holds the rules and each hotel keeps its own rooms, photos, policies and offers.
Your own team edits room descriptions, photos, offers and policies in an admin panel built for hotel staff, so a revenue manager can launch a weekend package without waiting on a developer.
Flexible, non-refundable, breakfast and long stay plans, with prices that change for Ramadan, the Hajj period, school holidays and national events. Seasons can be set on Hijri or Gregorian dates, so a revenue manager is not converting calendars by hand every year.
Prices on the site always match the season the hotel is actually in.
Room inventory comes from your property management system or channel manager, so the website and the online travel agencies sell from the same allocation. When a room sells on one channel, it closes on the others within moments.
No double bookings and no rooms held back out of caution.
Checkout through a SAMA licensed payment gateway with mada, Visa, Mastercard, Apple Pay and STC Bank (formerly STC Pay), plus Tabby or Tamara where the hotel wants to offer instalments on higher value stays. Card details stay with the gateway, never on your server.
Guests pay with what is already on their phone.
Charge the full stay, the first night, a percentage, or nothing until arrival, set per rate plan and per property. Card authorisations, captures and balance links are handled by rules your finance team approves, not by staff memory.
Cash flow and no show risk managed per rate, not per guest.
Cancellation windows shown in plain Arabic and English before payment, automatic refunds or credits when a guest cancels inside the free window, and a manager approval step for exceptions. Every refund links back to the original payment and invoice.
Fewer disputes and cleaner reconciliation at month end.
Tax invoices and credit notes generated through your accounting or ERP system in the format the Fatoora programme requires, with VAT shown clearly and the invoice sent to the guest or the company paying. We connect to the system that already holds your ZATCA onboarding.
Online revenue is invoiced the same compliant way as walk in revenue.
A group search across cities, then a property page for each hotel with its own rooms, policies, licence details and photography. Shared accounts, loyalty and promotions work across the portfolio while each general manager controls their own inventory.
One brand online, each hotel still run by its own team.
Negotiated rates behind a company code or login, invoice to company billing, and a booker account that holds several travellers. Useful for hotels near ministries, business districts and industrial cities where weekday demand is mostly contracted.
Contracted business booked direct instead of by email.
Only the data a stay needs, collected with clear notices under the PDPL, consent records for marketing, and hosting choices that respect SDAIA guidance on where personal data sits. Access for staff is limited by role and logged.
Guest information handled in a way you can explain to an auditor.
Who this is for
The right booking platform depends on how your rooms are sold today. A group with properties in Riyadh, Jeddah and AlUla needs shared rules and local freedom. A single independent hotel needs a fast, clear site that does not depend on an agency for every price change. Good hotel booking website design in Saudi Arabia starts from that operating reality, not from a template. These are the operators we most often build for, and what changes for each.
Groups running properties in more than one province usually have different booking setups per hotel, often inherited from previous owners or brands. We bring them under one platform with one checkout, one payment contract and one reporting view, while keeping per property control of rooms and rates. Rollout can happen hotel by hotel, so a busy property is never switched over in its peak month.
Best for portfolios that want a single brand and a shared guest database.
Owners of a single hotel often depend on online travel agencies for most of their bookings and pay commission on guests who would happily have booked direct. A well built site with a clear best rate on direct bookings, quick mada and Apple Pay checkout and honest cancellation terms gives those guests a reason to book with you instead.
Best for owners who want to reduce commission without a large internal team.
Monthly and weekly stays need different pricing, deposits, payment schedules and contracts from nightly hotel stays. We build long stay rate logic, scheduled payment links and invoice runs, along with the document checks your operation already requires, so the booking site handles a three month stay as well as a single night.
Best for operators whose guests stay weeks, not nights.
Hotels opening in newer leisure destinations sell packages more than rooms: stays with transfers, experiences, dining or activities. The booking flow lets guests add these at checkout, prices them with the room, and passes each item to the team that delivers it.
Best for resorts where the room is only part of what the guest buys.
Working together
Codeeo has delivered 200+ projects across the UAE and the US, with a team of 80+ across Dubai, Riyadh and Karachi, and is rated 4.7 from 23 Google reviews. For groups headquartered in Riyadh we can run discovery workshops in person. Properties elsewhere in the Kingdom join by video call, and reviews of designs, test bookings and launch checks run the same way. You work with one project lead from discovery to launch, and the revenue, finance and front office teams each get sessions on the parts they will run.
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
We choose the stack after the rate and integration review. Most builds pair a fast front end such as Next.js with a booking engine and admin in Laravel or a headless commerce setup, hosted in a region your data policy allows, and connected to your property management system, channel manager and ERP. Hotel online payment integration in Saudi Arabia runs through a single licensed gateway, so every method settles into one report your finance team can reconcile against bookings and invoices each day.

04Marketing and tracking
Licensing details, data protection, VAT invoicing and regulated payments, at a minimum.
The site should show the hotel's Ministry of Tourism licence details where guests can see them, collect personal data under clear PDPL notices, issue ZATCA compliant invoices through your e-invoicing setup, and take card and wallet payments through a SAMA licensed gateway. Guest details captured at booking should flow to your property management system so the front desk can complete the mandatory Shomoos registration on arrival. We also follow NCA controls where your group applies them. We build to these requirements, but your legal adviser should confirm the final wording.
