A keypad lock means self check-in without coordinating a physical key handoff, which is a genuine convenience for late arrivals, red-eye flights, or trips where meeting the host in person isn't practical. It's a subset of "self check-in" that Airbnb doesn't distinguish from smart locks or lockboxes in its standard filters, even though the experience — punching in a code versus using an app or fumbling with a lockbox — is meaningfully different for guests who've had a long travel day.
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 Keypad, 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 Keypad (code: 53), 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 Keypad
CustomBNB aggregates all of Airbnb's internal amenity codes — including Keypad (code 53) — 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 Keypad
Verify the Keypad before you commit
Airbnb amenities are self-reported by hosts. Before booking, scan the listing photos for the Keypad, 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 Keypad 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 when the access code is sent — some hosts send it well in advance, others only release it a few hours before check-in, which can be stressful if your flight is delayed. Confirm whether the code changes per booking (better security) or is static. If travelling with a lot of luggage, also check whether the keypad is at ground level or requires navigating stairs first.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Airbnb have a Keypad filter?
Airbnb assigns an internal amenity code to Keypad (code 53), 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 Keypad?
The easiest way is to use CustomBNB. Visit custombnb.app, select Keypad from the filter list, and click "Search Airbnb." You'll land directly on Airbnb with the Keypad filter already applied.
Can I combine the Keypad filter with other amenities?
Yes — CustomBNB lets you stack multiple amenity filters simultaneously. You can combine Keypad 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 Keypad with Other Amenity Filters
One of CustomBNB's most useful features is multi-filter stacking. Select Keypad alongside any other amenity and CustomBNB builds a single Airbnb URL that returns only listings matching all of them.
Popular Keypad combinations
For romantic getaways
