Airbnb Increase Accessibility Features

Airbnb have provided filters to help guests find locations with the required accessibility features. More recently they are requiring hosts to submit photo evidence which is reviewed by Airbnb staff to ensure the suitability of accessibility.

Traveling with a disability requires significant planning, and often leads to people giving up. This is a good step forward to providing disabled people with more choice and confidence to travel.

Airbnb also updated its search filters for accessibility features. Some filters, like ones for step-free bedroom access and accessible parking spaces, will now be shown more prominently on the search screen. Airbnb made filters pertaining to wide entryways slightly more specific by adding a more precise measurement. For example, instead of “wide entrance to bedroom,” Airbnb changed it to “bedroom entrance wider than 32 inches.” As it stands, these 13 filters are still fairly limited.
