Filter on King Bed

[Brian232]

As a traveler King Bed is very important to me.  As a host, I have gone to the expense of furnishing our vacation home with two king beds.  Why isn't there a search filter for size of bed that would assist travelers and hosts?  This is very important to many guests and hosts.

@Brian232 Well, for one thing, Airbnb is an international platform and bed sizes differ throughout the world. The measurements of a king size bed in Europe or Latin America aren't the same as a king bed in the US.

@Brian232 as @Sarah977  says typical King size beds are as follows

• 150 cm × 200 cm (59 in × 79 in) in the UK.
• 165 cm × 203 cm (65 in × 80 in) in New Zealand.[2]
• 180 cm × 190 cm (71 in × 75 in) in Portugal, but is also available in 195 and 200 cm (77 and 79 in) lengths.[3]
• 180 cm × 200 cm (71 in × 79 in) in Indonesia.[4]
• 183 cm × 191 cm (72 in × 75 in) in Singapore[5] and Malaysia.[6]
• 183 cm × 203 cm (72 in × 80 in) in Australia.[7]
• 183 cm × 216 cm (72 in × 85 in) in India.[8]
• 193 cm × 202 cm (76 in × 80 in) in the US.[9]

Seems a simple matter to program for the country. They have programmed the tax rates for every individual community in the U.S.

Also, I definitely won't Airbnb in the U.K. if that is the biggest bed I can get.

@Brian232 Don't worry we have a Super King in one of our apartments that is 180x200 but in general you may not be suited to the UK as rooms in some older cottages are probably no bigger than this bed.

Amen to that.  I hate it when I have to check listing for a King bed.  It would be so sweet to have that filter.  I am baffled why that filter is not added.

As a host it's very easy to add the bed size in the description of the bedroom. If it matters to guests it's not hard to find then.

I COMPLETELY AGREE!  I do not understand how these travel apps neglect to include a King Size Bed Filter.  We travel a great deal and use AirBNB and we absolutely HATE that this filter has NOT been added as of yet.  Very annoying when you're specifically looking for homes that have King Size beds.  It takes so much extra time having to open each listing, just to check for the bed sizes.  Sure wished they would correct this VERY MAJOR FLAW IN THEIR APP.
