"Lighting" here typically refers to a notable or upgraded lighting setup — mood lighting, smart bulbs, or a well-designed fixture scheme — rather than just the presence of a working light switch, which Airbnb assumes as a baseline for every listing. It's a subtle differentiator that mostly matters for aesthetic-focused or design-forward stays.
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 Lighting, 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 Lighting (code: 357), 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 Lighting
CustomBNB aggregates all of Airbnb's internal amenity codes — including Lighting (code 357) — 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 Lighting
Verify the Lighting before you commit
Airbnb amenities are self-reported by hosts. Before booking, scan the listing photos for the Lighting, 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 Lighting 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
Check photos for what "lighting" is actually referring to, since this tag is applied inconsistently by hosts. If smart or app-controlled lighting matters to you specifically, ask directly rather than assuming the general tag covers it.
Combine Lighting with Other Filters
Stack lighting with other amenities in CustomBNB to find properties that match your exact trip style.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Airbnb have a Lighting filter?
Airbnb assigns an internal amenity code to Lighting (code 357), 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 Lighting?
The easiest way is to use CustomBNB. Visit custombnb.app, select Lighting from the filter list, and click "Search Airbnb." You'll land directly on Airbnb with the Lighting filter already applied.
Can I combine the Lighting filter with other amenities?
Yes — CustomBNB lets you stack multiple amenity filters simultaneously. You can combine Lighting 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 Lighting with Other Amenity Filters
One of CustomBNB's most useful features is multi-filter stacking. Select Lighting alongside any other amenity and CustomBNB builds a single Airbnb URL that returns only listings matching all of them.
Popular Lighting combinations
For romantic getaways
Pair Lighting with an indoor fireplace, hot tub, or private pool for a couples' retreat. Stack all three filters in CustomBNB to find listings that have every element you need — no scrolling through pages of results that almost match.
For group and family trips
Combine Lighting with a game room, pool, or BBQ grill for group bookings where everyone needs something to do. Multi-filter stacking means you find the right property in one search instead of compromising on what matters most.
