Cooking basics means the kitchen is stocked with pots, pans, oil, salt, and pepper — genuinely useful for self-caterers who don't want to buy a full set of condiments for a short stay. It's a small detail that determines whether "has a kitchen" actually means you can cook a real meal without a supermarket trip for staples.
When you open Airbnb's search filter panel, you'll see options for basic amenities like "Wifi" and "Pool." But for more specific features like Cooking Basics, the filter may not appear at all — or it's buried so deep that most travellers never find it. Airbnb has assigned an internal amenity code to Cooking Basics (code: 94), but their UI simply doesn't expose it.
This forces travellers into one of two bad options: read through every listing description hoping the host mentioned it, or book somewhere and discover the amenity isn't available after you arrive.
How CustomBNB Lets You Filter by Cooking Basics
CustomBNB aggregates all of Airbnb's internal amenity codes — including Cooking Basics (code 94) — and surfaces them through a simple, searchable interface. When you click the search button, CustomBNB generates an Airbnb URL with the amenity code appended, sending you directly to pre-filtered results on Airbnb's platform.
You're not leaving Airbnb's ecosystem — you're just arriving with your filters already set. CustomBNB requires no account to try, and takes under 30 seconds. For a deeper look at how Airbnb's hidden filter system works, read our complete guide to Airbnb's hidden amenity codes.

Tips for Booking an Airbnb with Cooking Basics
Verify the Cooking Basics before you commit
Airbnb amenities are self-reported by hosts. Before booking, scan the listing photos for the Cooking Basics, check that recent reviews mention it positively, and read the "Things to know" section for any caveats. A filter match is a starting point — not a guarantee.
Message the host to confirm if it's a dealbreaker
If Cooking Basics is essential to your trip, send the host a quick message before booking to confirm it's available and in working order for your dates. Most hosts respond within a few hours. Getting it in writing also protects you if there's a dispute after check-in.
What else to look for in the listing
Even with cooking basics confirmed, it's worth checking reviews for comments on how well-equipped the kitchen actually is — pots and pans quality varies a lot between listings, and some hosts interpret "basics" loosely.
