CozyHive

Project Description

CozyHive is a web application designed to simplify the process of finding the perfect boarding house around Universitas Indonesia (UI). Tailored to the preferences of students, the website offers a user-friendly platform where users can explore various boarding house options, categorized by type: women-only, men-only, or mixed.

Upon logging in with their name, email, and phone number, users gain access to a range of features. They can browse through a diverse selection of registered boarding houses, presented randomly at first glance. However, advanced filtering options allow users to refine their search based on specific criteria such as name, area, and price.

Additionally, users can benefit from reviews and ratings contributed by fellow students, enabling them to make informed decisions when selecting a boarding house. To streamline the booking process, CozyHive enables users to book their chosen boarding house directly through the website, making finding an ideal home away from home just a few clicks away.
