The brief

Booking a trip shouldn't take six tabs and a phone call.

Travellers in the region juggle an OTA for the hotel, a Facebook page for the houseboat, an agent for the visa and a counter for the ship ticket. GoNStay was built to collapse all of that into one trustworthy place.

Listings without curation

Big OTAs index everything and vouch for nothing. You scroll a thousand results and still can't tell which stay is actually good.

One trip, five vendors

Hotel here, tour there, visa somewhere else. Nothing is joined up and no one owns the trip when something goes wrong.

Visas by WhatsApp

Paperwork handled over chat threads, with no status, no checklist and no way to know which step you're stuck on.

Local inventory stays offline

Houseboats, ship tickets and hill-station resorts are booked by phone. Great inventory that no website could sell.

Prices you can't trust

Rates shift between the search page and checkout, and "discounts" are measured against numbers nobody ever paid.

Support that disappears

Once payment clears, the platform goes quiet — exactly when a traveller three time zones away needs a human.

What GoNStay sells

Six booking verticals, one checkout.

Every vertical shares the same search, wishlist, currency and payment rails — so a traveller books a hotel, a houseboat and a visa in a single session without ever leaving the site.

Hotels

Editor-reviewed 4- and 5-star stays across Dhaka, Cox's Bazar, Sylhet and beyond, with live per-night rates, star ratings and member discounts.

Tour packages

Curated multi-day trips — hill stations, beaches and heritage routes — with day-by-day itineraries, inclusions and per-person pricing.

House boats

Premium Tanguar Haor houseboat tours, a category almost nobody else sells online, bookable like any other stay.

Ship tickets

Coastal and island routes brought online, so Saint Martin and Sundarbans trips stop depending on a phone call.

Air tickets

Flight search sits in the same unified search bar, so the flight and the room are chosen against one budget.

Visa processing

Tourist, business, work, student, transit and medical visas. The team prepares the paperwork and tracks every step for you.

Inside the product

A booking flow that looks like it was designed on purpose.

Real screens from the live platform at gonstay.com — the unified search, the curated hotel catalogue, the houseboat category and the editorial pages that carry the brand's promise.

GoNStay home page: unified search across hotels, air tickets, tour packages, visa processing, house boats and ship tickets

One search bar, six verticals

Tabs switch the whole form between hotels, flights, tours, visas, houseboats, ship tickets and car rental — with flexible-date shortcuts and trending destinations underneath.

Curated hotel catalogue

Every property is editor-reviewed. Cards carry star ratings, the strike-through rate, the real discount and a per-night price with service charge stated up front.

Houseboats on Tanguar Haor

A category that normally lives on Facebook pages, given a proper catalogue: named boats, package length and a from-price on every card.

Editorial pages that state the standard

Quality, service and honesty checks are published, not implied — with the 24/7 travel desk, the best-price promise and member upgrades at partner hotels spelled out in plain language.

Under the hood

Everything a real booking business needs.

GoNStay isn't a brochure site. It's a working marketplace: inventory, search, accounts, wishlists, multi-currency pricing, a media pipeline and an admin back office — plus the SEO groundwork to be found in the first place.

Unified search

Destination, dates and guests drive every vertical, with recent searches remembered and flexible-date shortcuts for tonight, this weekend or next month.

Accounts & OAuth

Email and social sign-in, member rates, loyalty points on every booking, and a saved profile that carries across trips.

Wishlists

Save a stay while you're still deciding and come back to it — persisted per account, across devices.

Multi-currency pricing

BDT, USD, EUR, INR, GBP and AED, switched from the header and applied consistently through search, detail and checkout.

English & Bengali

Bilingual content and listing titles, so local inventory reads naturally to local travellers without breaking the layout.

Dedicated media CDN

Property photography served and resized from its own image host, keeping large galleries fast on mobile data.

Built for speed

Code-split React bundles, route-level lazy loading, skeleton states and preconnects to the API and image hosts.

SEO from day one

Per-route titles and descriptions, canonical URLs, plus TravelAgency, WebSite SearchAction and SiteNavigation structured data for rich brand results.

Admin back office

Site settings, inventory, pricing, discounts and featured placements are all editable without a deploy.

Always-on travel desk

A persistent "Talk to travel desk" launcher on every page routes travellers to a human before, during and after the trip.

Responsive by default

The same flows work on a phone at the airport as on a desktop at home — the majority of bookings start on mobile.

Editorial merchandising

Editor's Picks, featured experiences and destination rails let the team promote inventory without touching code.

The promise on the box

Curation you can hold them to.

GoNStay publishes its standard rather than implying it. Every property clears three checks before it earns a card on the site.

Quality

4-star and up, unless something truly special earns an exception. Volume is never the reason a property gets listed.

Service

Verified responsiveness from the property's own team — not a call centre answering on their behalf.

Honesty

The trade-offs are listed alongside the highlights, so travellers choose with their eyes open.

Backed by a best-price promise, member upgrades at partner hotels and a 24/7 travel desk. See it all at gonstay.com.

Good to know

Frequently asked questions

What is GoNStay?

GoNStay is a curated travel booking platform, live at gonstay.com. It covers hand-picked hotels, tour packages, houseboats, ship tickets, air tickets and visa processing in one flow, backed by a 24/7 travel desk and a best-price promise.

How is it different from a regular booking site?

Ordinary OTAs list everything and curate nothing. Every property on GoNStay passes three editor checks — quality (4-star and up unless something truly special qualifies), verified service responsiveness from the property's own team, and honesty about the trade-offs, not just the highlights.

Where does GoNStay operate?

It's based in Dhaka and serves Bangladesh plus India, Thailand, Malaysia, the UAE and Singapore. Curated Bangladesh destinations include Dhaka, Cox's Bazar, the Sundarbans, Sylhet, Sajek, Bandarban, Rangamati, Saint Martin Island, Kuakata and Sreemangal.

Can I really book a houseboat online?

Yes — that's one of the things that makes GoNStay unusual. Premium Tanguar Haor houseboat tours, including one-night two-day packages on named boats, are bookable in the same flow as any hotel.

Does GoNStay handle visas too?

Yes. The visa desk covers tourist, business, work, student, transit and medical visas. The team prepares the paperwork and tracks every step, and you can browse by visa type or by destination.

What's Black & White Studio's role in GoNStay?

We're a partner on GoNStay, working on the product and platform side alongside the GoNStay team. It runs as a code-split React web app against a dedicated booking API, with its own media CDN, multi-currency engine, admin back office and bilingual English/Bengali content.

Is GoNStay open to B2B partners?

Yes — GoNStay is currently running B2B, working with travel trade partners and properties. The quickest route in is the travel desk at gonstay.com.

Can you build something like this for my business?

Yes. GoNStay covers the full stack a booking business needs — search, inventory, booking, media pipeline, SEO and an admin back office — and the same approach adapts to other marketplaces and booking businesses. Email info@blacknwhitestudio.com or message us on WhatsApp and we'll walk you through it.

Travel Smart, Stay Better.

GoNStay is live today. Browse the curated catalogue, price a houseboat on Tanguar Haor, or start a visa — the travel desk is open either way. Travel trade partners and properties: GoNStay is currently running B2B, so come talk to us about a partnership.
