What StayMatch does
Finding the match
Your wishes
Whole place, no commercial host, Superhost or Guest favorite, enough reviews. What does not fit is shown as a warning.
Honest stars
Few reviews count for less, so a new 5.0 does not automatically rise to the top.
Budget in view
A budget per night in the panel, or a total budget in the neighborhood finder. Listings that cost too much slide down.
Reading the listing
Reviews read for you
On a listing page it picks out keywords from the reviews: clean, location, loud, Wi-Fi. If you want quiet and guests write loud, it warns you.
Reasons with every score
Each card gets a score, and the top three come with what speaks for them and what speaks against.
Memory
History, thumbs up and down, notes, and the price change since your first visit. What you reject stays out of your top three.
Choosing the area
Neighborhood finder
Scores each neighborhood by your interests, such as party, chill, sights, food, family, or nature, using real places from OpenStreetMap.
Fair for groups
Add travel companions and each picks a type. It looks first at who would fare worst (60 percent) and adds the average (40 percent).
Searching without a plan
If you do not know the city, find the neighborhood first and open the normal Airbnb search from there.
Staying private
Local only
Wishes, likes, notes, and history stay in your browser. There is no StayMatch server and no account.
Open source
The code is on GitHub, small enough to read, and the plugin does not search Airbnb in the background.
Limits, stated
It uses no Airbnb interface and does not book. If Airbnb changes its pages, the plugin may need an update.
How it works
Install the plugin
Once in Chrome, Edge, or Brave. No account, no sign-in.
Search as usual
Enter city and dates on Airbnb, then set a budget per night and your wishes in the StayMatch panel.
Take the top three
Every card gets a score, and the best three appear on top with reasons.
Find the area first
If you do not know the city, the neighborhood finder picks the area that suits you before you search.
