Using search filters
Sometimes you just want to browse. Other times, you know exactly what you want. Search filters are a great way to narrow down your choices when you’re finding a place to stay. If you’re flexible, you can select date ranges and types of places to help target your search.
Start with the basics
For the most accurate results, always begin your search by choosing your:
- Destination
- Check-in and checkout dates
- Total number of guests and pets
Search for monthly stays
We’ve introduced a simpler and more flexible way to search for monthly stays. Tap Months to specify the length of your stay and easily customize your start and end dates. Flex your start and end dates by up to 14 nights to browse a greater range of available listings.
Popular filters
By selecting Filters on the search results page, you’ll find popular filters, such as:
- Type of place: From shared rooms to entire places, learn more about the types of places to stay.
- Price range: Use the sliding scale to narrow down your search within your price range. Keep in mind that many places to stay are unique, and different attributes may affect the nightly rate.
- Instant Book: Find places you can book without waiting for Host approval.
You can also use Airbnb Categories to filter by unique listings. Choose from categories like lighthouses, cabins, or boats.
Note: Currently, sorting is not an Airbnb search feature, but you can filter by price to find places that fit a certain price range.
