Rooftop access is a genuine draw in dense urban listings, giving guests an outdoor space with a view that a ground-floor apartment simply can't offer — good for sunset drinks, city skyline views, or just a change of scenery from the unit itself. Airbnb's generic outdoor space tags don't capture this specifically, and rooftop access varies a lot from listing to listing (private versus shared, furnished versus bare), which makes it worth confirming directly.
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 Rooftop, 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 Rooftop (code: 532), 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 Rooftop
CustomBNB aggregates all of Airbnb's internal amenity codes — including Rooftop (code 532) — 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 Rooftop
Verify the Rooftop before you commit
Airbnb amenities are self-reported by hosts. Before booking, scan the listing photos for the Rooftop, 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 Rooftop 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 the rooftop is private to your unit or shared with the whole building — shared rooftops are common and can mean less privacy than photos suggest. Confirm what's up there (seating, shade, a view worth the trip) and whether there are access hours or restrictions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Airbnb have a Rooftop filter?

The easiest way is to use CustomBNB. Visit custombnb.app, select Rooftop from the filter list, and click "Search Airbnb." You'll land directly on Airbnb with the Rooftop filter already applied.
Can I combine the Rooftop filter with other amenities?

Popular Rooftop combinations
For romantic getaways
