Finding a stay that's right for you

Want help finding a great place to stay? Here are the top areas that guests have questions about when they’re searching for their next trip.

Searching and filtering

As long as you enter your destination, travel dates, and number of guests when searching on Airbnb, all listings that show up should be available. You can even search by neighborhoods or landmarks. Learn more about searching for places on Airbnb.

To make sure the space is just right, use the search filters to find a place entirely to yourself, or other options if you’d prefer some shared spaces. Learn more about the different filters and amenities available.

Entire place, private or shared room, or hotel

Find all the details on the different types of stays including entire places, private rooms, hotel rooms, and shared rooms. Find out more about the types of places to stay.

Places with accessibility features

Need to find a place to stay that meets your mobility needs? Search for places with accessibility features.

Communicate with Hosts before booking

Once you find a place you like, you may still have questions about it. While you can’t visit the property before booking, you can contact the Host to find out more.

If you have specific preferences for amenities, the neighborhood, or the location, you can message the Host, since they are the best source for all details. They may even send you a pre-approval or special offer to entice you to book their place.

Parties and Events Policy

We’ve created our Parties and Events Policy to provide clear guidance on what we expect from everyone. Find it as part of our overall Community Disturbance Policy.
