What guests actually search for on Airbnb, and where TVs rank

Airbnb’s own 2025 search data puts TV or cable ninth. Here is what that means for your listing.

It is easy to repeat what sounds true about amenity filters. Here is what Airbnb itself publishes.

Airbnb’s own list

Airbnb’s Resource Center lists the amenities guests search for most often, based on internal data for 1 January to 31 December 2025. In order, it lists:

  • Pool
  • Free parking
  • Wifi
  • Air conditioning or heating
  • Kitchen
  • Hot tub
  • Washer or dryer
  • Self check-in
  • TV or cable
  • BBQ grill

What is not on it

Streaming is not on that list, and we found no “free streaming” filter in Airbnb’s standard amenity filters, which show TV under Entertainment. A claim that streaming is the second most popular filter is not supported by this data.

What to do with it

  • List “TV” as an amenity so you appear in that filter
  • Put the casting detail in the description, where guests read it
  • Do not claim rankings you cannot source

Platform filters and amenity lists change, so check the host amenity picker in your own account.
