A desk confirms there's an actual work surface, distinct from Airbnb's broader "dedicated workspace" tag which some hosts apply loosely to a dining table. For remote workers booking longer stays, the difference between a proper desk and improvising on a kitchen table over a multi-week stay is significant.
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 Desk, 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 Desk (code: 149), 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 Desk
CustomBNB aggregates all of Airbnb's internal amenity codes — including Desk (code 149) — 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 Desk
Verify the Desk before you commit
Airbnb amenities are self-reported by hosts. Before booking, scan the listing photos for the Desk, 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 Desk 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
Ask for a photo of the desk specifically, not just the workspace claim — check for a proper chair (not a dining or decorative chair) and confirm there's a nearby power outlet for a laptop charger and monitor.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Airbnb have a Desk filter?
Airbnb assigns an internal amenity code to Desk (code 149), but it is not shown in their standard filter UI. The code exists in Airbnb's system and hosts use it to tag their listings — guests just can't access it through the normal search panel.
How do I search for an Airbnb with a Desk?
The easiest way is to use CustomBNB. Visit custombnb.app, select Desk from the filter list, and click "Search Airbnb." You'll land directly on Airbnb with the Desk filter already applied.
Can I combine the Desk filter with other amenities?
Yes — CustomBNB lets you stack multiple amenity filters simultaneously. You can combine Desk with pool, sauna, beachfront, or any of 490+ other filters to generate a single Airbnb search URL showing only listings that match every amenity you selected.
Combine Desk with Other Amenity Filters
One of CustomBNB's most useful features is multi-filter stacking. Select Desk alongside any other amenity and CustomBNB builds a single Airbnb URL that returns only listings matching all of them.
Popular Desk combinations
For romantic getaways
