searchrefinements Extension

This extension unlocks hidden features on Airbnb, enabling users to apply detailed filters, like specific amenities, for more precise search results.

Most popular websites have much richer filters and more fine-grained search capabilities than what is accessible through their user interfaces. This extension leverages the hidden features of their underlying apis to let users get the maximum out of their search results.

This extension is currently supporting Airbnb and lets users filter for any amenity that hosts can assign to their accommodations. If you are looking for family-friendly houses, you might be checking every amenity listed under \"Family\". Unfortunately, Airbnb's filter interfaces does not give you access to most of those amenities. This extension does!

searchrefinements extends Airbnb with the following features:
- Filter for any of the 100+ amenities
- Access to 150+ unlisted legacy amenities
- Manage your favorite amenities for quicker access
