LyLo rethinks the backpacker stay — smart pods and private rooms at hostel prices. We gave it a website with as much personality as the brand, and a custom booking engine that makes the best-value night obvious.

The challenge

Price-savvy guests, a brand with personality.

LyLo’s smart, private pods and private rooms sit in central locations across Australia and New Zealand — with Bangkok next.

Its guests compare prices closely and book on their phones, so the site had to feel as fresh as the brand and make the best-value night obvious.

The experience

Pick a pod, see the price, book.

A custom booking engine walks guests through room type, dates and number of pods, with each night’s price on the calendar so the cheapest dates stand out.

The platform

A booking experience independent of the PMS.

We built the booking experience independently of the underlying PMS, so the platform can change systems without changing the guest experience.

Nightly prices refresh from the PMS every few hours, staff can send a secure payment link for phone bookings, and every new LyLo location launches from the same hotel template — with icons and illustrations we designed for the brand.

The partnership

Every new location, the same foundation.

Since launch we’ve kept the site and booking engine moving with the business — new hotels, new systems and new markets — each location launched from the same template.

The website is a perfect representation of the LyLo brand and I have no doubt will be a massive hit with our customers.

All FAQs
Do you support platforms after launch?

Yes — most of our clients stay with us long-term. We operate, monitor and keep improving what we build, with ongoing UX, conversion and feature work.

How long does a typical project take?

A focused website or app release is often three to six months. Larger multi-brand platforms are delivered in phases, with the first release live well before everything is finished.

Can you work with our existing platform?

Often, yes. We can extend, integrate with or progressively replace what you have — we don’t insist on starting from scratch.

Can we speak to your clients?

Yes. Once we understand what you’re working on, we’re happy to introduce you to a relevant client.
