A stocked in-room bar — a hotel-style convenience that's relatively rare in the Airbnb market, and a strong signal of a boutique or luxury-oriented property aiming to replicate that experience. Useful for travellers who want a drink on arrival without a supermarket run, and generally correlates with higher-service listings overall.
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 Minibar, 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 Minibar (code: 492), 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 Minibar
CustomBNB aggregates all of Airbnb's internal amenity codes — including Minibar (code 492) — 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 Minibar
Verify the Minibar before you commit
Airbnb amenities are self-reported by hosts. Before booking, scan the listing photos for the Minibar, 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 Minibar 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 whether items are complimentary or charged separately, and what's actually stocked — "minibar" ranges from a genuinely well-curated selection to an empty fridge with a bottle opener. Don't assume alcohol is included without confirming, especially in destinations with strict alcohol licensing.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Airbnb have a Minibar filter?
Airbnb assigns an internal amenity code to Minibar (code 492), 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.

Can I combine the Minibar filter with other amenities?
