🌑 Search Airbnb for Room-darkening shades →Why Searching for Room-darkening shades on Airbnb Is Harder Than It Should Be
For shift workers, jet-lagged travellers, and anyone sensitive to light while sleeping, room-darkening shades are the difference between actually resting and lying awake watching the sun rise at 5am. This matters especially for summer bookings at high latitudes where daylight starts absurdly early, and for city stays with heavy streetlight or signage glow at night — none of which Airbnb's native filters account for.
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 Room-darkening shades, 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 Room-darkening shades (code: 73), 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.

Tips for Booking an Airbnb with Room-darkening shades
Verify the Room-darkening shades before you commit
Airbnb amenities are self-reported by hosts. Before booking, scan the listing photos for the Room-darkening shades, 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 Room-darkening shades 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
Blackout capability varies a lot — some listings have genuine blackout curtains, others have thin shades that still let in significant light. If you're a light sleeper or dealing with jet lag, ask the host directly how dark the room gets during midday, not just at night, as a proxy for how effective the shades really are.
