Bellhopp
Bellhopp set out to give small, independent hotels the kind of app-based guest experience the big chains have — without losing the personal touch. CodeLeap designed and built the MVP end to end: the iOS and Android apps, the web app and the backend behind them.
What we did CodeLeap designed and built Bellhopp's MVP end to end — the iOS and Android apps, the web app and the backend — a guest-experience and front-desk tool for small hotels.
Small hotels win on personal service — staff who know a guest by name and remember what they like — but rarely have the technology to match a Marriott or an Airbnb. Bellhopp wanted to close that gap with one app: a modern place for a hotel to greet its guests, keep them informed and give front-desk staff the tools to run it. They came to CodeLeap to design and build it from scratch, deliberately scoped as an MVP so the idea could be tested with real hotels before going wider. We built it across iOS, Android and web on a shared backend.
What we built
-
iOS, Android and web from one build
We built the product across all three platforms — native-feel iOS and Android apps and a web app — on a single shared backend, so a hotel and its guests get the same experience whichever device they reach for, and every release stays in step.
-
Hotel profiles and guest sign-in
Guests find and join their hotel and see its profile and history in one place, so the app opens straight onto the hotel they are actually staying at rather than a generic home screen.
-
Announcements feed and chat channels
Each hotel posts announcements and messages guests through in-app chat channels, so the front desk can reach a guest — a check-in detail, a local tip, a reply to a question — without a phone call or a note under the door.
-
Front-desk and admin tools
Staff manage the guest list and the announcements that go out to it, while an admin manages hotels, channels and users — the operational side that lets a small team run the whole thing themselves.
Why this matters to you:
CodeLeap took Bellhopp from concept to a working MVP across iOS, Android and web, delivered for beta testing with hotels. It gave a small team a real product to put in front of the market — the personal welcome of an independent hotel, in an app guests and staff could actually use — rather than a pitch deck.
