Refined search capability please!

[Christy430]

I spend SO much time drilling down into listings & reviews to figure out how suitable any given property is for our needs. Here are some things I'd love to be able to efficiently search for:

Soaking Tubs

Shaded Outdoor Spaces

Lounge-ability (is there a deep, comfortable sofa?)

Walk-ability Score, especially to good coffee (!)

Degree of Solitude (for leaving the world behind)

Ground Floor Bedroom/Bath (for grandma)

Vintage Properties

Many Thanks!

Buongiorno @Christy430 ,

I would add the ability to sort the results by Star Rate 😉

Hi @Christy430,

Absolutely love your post — you’ve hit on so many great points that resonate with both guests and thoughtful hosts. The current filter system on Airbnb really doesn’t reflect the way people search for experiences or comfort anymore — it’s far too basic for today’s expectations.

I completely agree that being able to search by details like:

Soaking tubs or spa-style bathrooms

Comfortable lounge furniture (deep couches, reading nooks!)

Walkability to local gems like cafés or bakeries

Shaded outdoor areas or even “sunset view” filters

Solitude or privacy (without scrolling 50 listings to find it)

Ground-floor accessibility for elderly guests

Historic or vintage-style homes

…would make the experience so much more intuitive for guests — and help hosts highlight these valuable features they’ve carefully invested in.

I also second @Andrea6232's point — sorting by star rating or review keywords would go a long way in surfacing quality, guest-loved listings without endless clicking.

Hopefully Airbnb takes note. You’ve just written the wishlist a lot of us didn’t realize we needed!
