In the world of fitness app development, innovation is key to success. But what happens when that innovation meets the need for safe and inclusive travel experiences? For one startup, MisterB&B, the answer was a cutting-edge LGBTQ-friendly travel booking platform. In this case study, we'll explore how our team at Onix helped bring this vision to life.

The Problem

When Matthieu Jost, co-founder and CEO of MisterB&B, had a less-than-ideal experience with a homophobic host while traveling, he knew something needed to change. He realized that many LGBTQ travelers faced similar challenges when booking accommodations online, often leading to feelings of discomfort and mistrust. With this in mind, the idea for an LGBTQ-friendly travel booking platform was born.

The Solution

Our team at Onix was tasked with enhancing the existing MisterB&B platform to provide a more seamless user experience. To achieve this, we focused on three key areas: technology, security, and functionality.

Technology Upgrade

We upgraded the platform's technology stack to ensure high-quality performance and extend its functionality. This involved migrating from outdated technologies to more reliable ones, such as Ruby on Rails for the backend and React for the frontend. With this updated tech stack, we were able to guarantee a smooth user experience across all devices.

Security Features

To keep users' financial information safe, we implemented a fraud detection system that identified illegitimate transactions, theft, cyber hacking, and suspicious messages. We also integrated secure payment gateways like Stripe, PayPal, Payoneer, and Adyen, allowing for seamless online payments and payouts.

Enhanced Functionality

We enhanced the platform's search functionality to provide users with quick access to a vast database of over 2 million listings. We also ensured seamless integration with property listing aggregators and providers, such as Booking.com, Rentals United, Guesty, Ospita, and BookingSync.

Results

The revamped MisterB&B platform has achieved remarkable results, including:

  • 900K+ LGBTQ members
  • Dubbed the "gay Airbnb" by Forbes
  • Over 1 million accommodations in 200 countries
  • Considered the largest gay hotelier in the world

Today, Onix continues to support MisterB&B with ongoing development, driving growth and innovation. This partnership has not only helped create a more inclusive travel booking experience but also fosters a safe community for LGBTQ travelers worldwide.
