A practical filter for hot-climate destinations or older properties without central air conditioning — portable fans are a meaningful comfort backup, and their presence or absence is a genuinely useful signal about how a property handles heat, especially in summer travel to regions with unreliable or absent AC.
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 Portable Fans, 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 Portable Fans (code: 522), 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 Portable Fans
CustomBNB aggregates all of Airbnb's internal amenity codes — including Portable Fans (code 522) — 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 Portable Fans
Verify the Portable Fans before you commit
Airbnb amenities are self-reported by hosts. Before booking, scan the listing photos for the Portable Fans, 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 Portable Fans 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
Don't treat this as a substitute for air conditioning in genuinely hot climates — fans move air but don't lower temperature the way AC does. Check reviews from summer stays specifically to understand how the property actually handles heat before relying on fans alone.
