Visit the site

What they needed

Lots of messages from curious people asking for dates and prices, and few bookings.

What I did

Website with calendar and prices, management panel and WhatsApp Business with AI.

The result

Guests see free dates and the price before writing. Booking is still closed over WhatsApp.

Starting point

Casa Malaika is a family-run cabin rental in the hills of Córdoba. Its only online presence was word of mouth and WhatsApp.

Every inquiry arrived cold (“is this date free?”, “how much is it?”). There was lots of back-and-forth to filter out people whose dates or budget didn’t match, and few bookings.

What I did

  • Website with a calendar. Guests pick check-in and check-out, see which nights are free and what the stay costs, and with one tap open WhatsApp with the message ready.
  • Booking via WhatsApp. It’s not a booking engine: payment and confirmation stay where trust already exists.
  • Easy to maintain. The owner updates dates and prices from a Google Sheet, without depending on a developer.
  • Management panel. A prototype to see bookings, payments and expenses at a glance, on mobile too.
  • Google Maps and WhatsApp Business with AI. Directions to get there and automatic handling of inquiries.

Casa Malaika availability tool: calendar with selected dates and itemized price

Result

  • Guests see free dates and the price before writing.
  • Booking is still closed over WhatsApp, where trust already exists.
  • The site is live and in active use by the family.

Management panel (prototype)

A navigable prototype so the owners can see which days are rented, who’s coming, what was collected and what was spent. It uses fictional data.

Panel monthly summary: income, collected, pending, expenses, result and occupancy Monthly summary

Panel calendar: each stay is a colored bar across the days Stay calendar

Bookings table with filters by status, channel, total and balance Bookings and guests

Payments: deposits, balances and refunds, with a WhatsApp reminder Payments

Cleaning and maintenance expenses by supplier Expenses

Statistics: income, expenses, occupancy and a 12-month chart Statistics

My role: Product design, visual design, UX writing and front-end development. Management panel prototype.
