How to Manage and Create Custom Amenities

This article will guide you on how to utilize Custom Amenities Feature

Written by Kin Pagaduan

Sometimes a property's amenities from your PMS is not available from our Amenity section, or you want to highlight a standout feature that helps drive direct bookings, especially when it's searchable.

Custom Amenities let you add and manage these directly, and expose them as filters on your website's search.

Enabling the feature

This feature is free for all users and is accessible directly from the Dashboard > Properties tab.

A. Creating a custom amenity

  1. Go to Dashboard > Properties > Custom Amenities

  2. Fill out the Name (and optionally a Description, Group, and Keywords)

  3. Toggle on Use in Filtering if you want this amenity to appear as a filter option on your website

  4. Click Create

B. Tagging a property with the custom amenity

  1. Go to Property, then select the property you want to update

  2. Click Edit

  3. Scroll down to the Custom Amenity section

  4. Select the custom amenity that applies

  5. Click Update to save

C. Enabling filters on your search bar

The search bar is enabled by default on the homepage and search page. To make your custom amenity filterable there:

  1. Go to your homepage in the Editor and select the search bar

  2. In the right panel, go to Enable Filters and toggle it on

  3. Save

  4. Repeat these steps for the search page and any other pages with a search bar

D. Using it on your live site

  1. Go to the homepage

  2. Select the filter icon in the search bar

  3. Select the amenity

  4. Click Apply, then Search

This returns the list of properties tagged with that amenity, helping guests find exactly what they're looking for.
