FAQ: Spa stays on Airbnb
How do I find an Airbnb with a pool or hot tub?
Plug in your minimum search parameters (date range, guests, and destination), and then refine results by clicking the “more filters” button. This will pull up a range of other criteria.
From there, under the Facilities section, you’ll find checkboxes for a pool or hot tub. Tick those to show only results with those features. However, for other features, such as saunas or spa services, you’ll need to browse the listings carefully as there’s no way to specifically search for those.
What should I look for in a spa getaway?
Many Airbnb homes offer great features like hot tubs and pools, but for something truly rejuvenating, look for extras such as a sauna, outdoor shower, and on-demand spa therapies.
Some people’s idea of a standout spa includes being surrounded by nature, others want to mix wellness with fitness and claim a spot to practice yoga. It all comes down to what makes you feel most relaxed.
Also, look for Enhanced Clean Airbnb homes to guarantee all facilities are properly sanitized between guests.
What is the Airbnb Enhanced Clean program?
The Airbnb Enhanced Clean is a learning and certification program for hosts that lays out a strict protocol about how to clean properties between guests, the personal protective equipment hosts and cleaners should wear, and even requires the exclusive use of cleaning supplies that have been approved by regulatory authorities.
Is Airbnb safe?
The CDC says travel within the US is safe for fully vaccinated individuals. However, always check with CDC and WHO guidelines, as well as local rules and regulations for your destination for the latest information, and consider the infection rates of the areas you’re traveling to and from.
As far as the Airbnbs themselves go, the short answer is, generally yes—but we’ve broken down all of your questions here.
