This Search Filter on Airbnb Might Help You Find the Most Affordable Vacation Rentals

Finding just the right Airbnb can be a challenge. After all, there are more than 6 million listings sprinkled all across the globe. From domes to treehouses, mountain mansions to beachside villas, and even a famous tug boat available to book, the choices can be endless. But what about if you’re just looking for a good old-fashioned deal on a vacation home for a few days?

According to Airbnb, there’s a hack for that.

“[A] great way to find affordable listings on the platform and save money on your travels this spring is to check the ‘New’ category that was launched last November and includes homes added to Airbnb within the past 10 weeks,” the company shared in a statement. “When joining Airbnb, Hosts often set an attractive price to highlight their homes.”

As Tourtheworld previously reported, hosts of new homes can also opt to specifically choose an experienced Airbnb user (a person who has at least three stays under their belt) as their first guest to help them dip their toe in the renting waters.

Airbnb noted, the New filter isn’t the only way to help users save. It also shared that users are utilizing the Wishlist tool to save affordable stays and share with their travel partners.

To help inspire your travels, it even shared five of what it calls the “more affordable” wishlisted homes across the globe shared by US travelers, each under $100 per night.
