Bring back search by categories!

I'm so frustrated as both a host and a traveler that the search by categories is no longer available.  Why or why remove that feature?!  

 

We host a glamping site - so folks found us when they wanted to camp. I've noticed my bookings through Airbnb are fewer this year than by other platforms such as Hipcamp.  

 

As a traveler, I specifically enjoy staying in treehouses - I am planning vacation now and am unable to find treehouses.  I'll have to use a different platform or just search the internet for websites and book directly.

Hi, thank you for sharing your feedback with us on the recent update!

 

Airbnb has changed the homepage to make Experiences and Services available right upfront in the Airbnb app, and this new look enables the app to be more personalized for users. The search filter will now suggest homes, experiences and services nearby, in a destination that you’re booked to go to next. Airbnb will serve more relevant suggestions that are personalized for each guest. Guests will still be able to use filters to search for homes with specific amenities including pools, a waterfront location or accessibility features.

 

If you think certain filters would be valuable to add, such a treehouse or glamping as a type of property, you can let the team know directly using our feedback form: https://www.airbnb.com/help/feedback

 

Thanks, 

 

Emilie
