What we’re working toward
We want to make travel more inclusive and accessible for everyone. This work is never done, but here’s how we’re taking it on so far.

Improved accuracy
Guests with mobility needs often rely on photos to make sure a listing will work for them. That’s why we require hosts to provide photos of every accessibility feature they have, and it’s why listings have a special section dedicated to showcasing these photos.
Digital accessibility standards
We’re working toward the digital accessibility standards laid out by the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines. We’re also investing in automated testing tools to help us catch more issues.
More listings with accessibility features
We’re working hard to get more listings with accessibility features on Airbnb, and we’re making them easier to find by improving our search features, including easier-to-use filters and better photos on the search results page.
Accessible experiences
More accessible Airbnb experiences—unique activities hosted by local experts—are on the way.
Tips for guests
We know finding a place to stay or an experience to book that meets your needs can be tough. Here are a few tips for making sure your trips go as smoothly as possible.

Find the right place
Use the search filters to only show places or experiences that meet your accessibility needs. Once you’ve found a few listings, take a look at the “Accessibility features” section of each listing for photos and descriptions of the features that matter to you.

Talk to potential hosts
If you have any special concerns, be sure to message the host before you book to make sure they can accommodate you. You can message potential hosts from the “Contact host” link on their listing or experience page.
