Icon Filters Removed From Airbnb Homepage

Icon Filters Removed From Airbnb Homepage

Why have the icon search filters been removed from the homepage?

 

That made it so easy for potential guests to filter through hundreds of listings to get down to a smaller number that were relevant for the type of property they want to stay at.

 

E.g., A Cabin

 

Now, it's just a generic search for "homes" at the top of the homepage.

 

I understand that once you choose a location and dates, that you can filter down to (house, apartment, guest house, hotel).

 

However, that is not the level of specificity that Air BnB specifically offered, which made it one of the best platforms for booking unique places to stay.

 

(The OMG, Cabin, Lakefront, Beachfront, Farms, etc. filters were what made this platform truly unique.)

 

Hoping that these will be brought back, as otherwise, sifting through the search results is too overwhelming to continue booking through Air BnB when someone knows exactly what they want.

Yes...Airbnb called them "Categories" and they quietly removed them from the platform in April 2025. You can contact Airbnb and ask to provide feedback regarding this, but not sure we will see them back anytime soon.
