A reception area signals a more managed, hotel-like operation than a typical standalone rental — useful for guests who prefer having someone on-site to greet them, answer questions, or help with luggage, rather than a fully self-service check-in. It's common in larger properties, boutique aparthotels, or multi-unit buildings and is a useful signal for anyone who values that extra layer of service on arrival.
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 Reception area, 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 Reception area (code: 526), 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 Reception area
CustomBNB aggregates all of Airbnb's internal amenity codes — including Reception area (code 526) — 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 Reception area
Verify the Reception area before you commit
Airbnb amenities are self-reported by hosts. Before booking, scan the listing photos for the Reception area, 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 Reception area 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 about reception hours — some are staffed 24/7, others only during business hours, which matters a lot for late arrivals. Confirm whether reception can help with local recommendations or luggage storage before check-in or after checkout, which is often a genuine practical benefit.
