AirWish Ranker
A Chrome extension that ranks every listing in an Airbnb wishlist, anywhere in the world, and shares a shortlist to any phone.
Open a wishlist, click Rank this wishlist, and a few minutes later every listing is tagged, scored in seven categories, and sortable, searchable and filterable. Pick up to five and send them to a phone as a link, a text message or a single page file.
What it measures
| Category | Default weight | What goes in |
|---|
| Location | 22 | Guest location rating, walk to public transport, walk to the center, walkability, places to eat, sights, nightlife, sea or beach, lake or river, parks |
| Space & Sleep | 16 | Real-bed spots for your group (sofa beds, couches and mattresses don't count), number of real beds, bedrooms, bathrooms, guest headroom |
| Comfort & Amenities | 12 | Essentials (wifi, AC, kitchen, washer, heating...), step-free access, convenience (self check-in, parking...), extras (pool, hot tub, gym...) |
| Outdoor & Views | 8 | Best outdoor space (rooftop, terrace, garden, balcony, patio), best view (sea, lake, mountain, city) |
| Reviews & Trust | 20 | Rating trusted by review count, sub-ratings, red and green flags as a share of reviews, listing warnings, Superhost, cancellation |
| Value | 8 | Price per adult per night against the wishlist median |
| Our votes | 14 | Yes and No votes from everyone on the wishlist |
Location works anywhere OpenStreetMap has data: nothing is tied to a region. Walking times are routed on foot where possible. Every factor, weight, tag and curve is adjustable in Settings, with one button back to the defaults. The full math is in extension/SPEC.md.
Tags
110 tags in 12 groups: Essentials, Extras, Convenience, Outdoor, Views, Access, Sleep & bath, Location, Warnings, Status, Red flags, Green flags. Each can be required or excluded in the filters, and most carry weight in a score: amenity tags add coverage, outdoor and view tags carry a value, red and green flag tags carry a severity per review.
Install
- Download this repository (Code → Download ZIP) and unzip it somewhere permanent.
- Open
chrome://extensions, turn on Developer mode, click Load unpacked and pick the extension folder.

Sharing to a phone
Tick up to five rows (or use the top five in the current view), click Share to phone, then:
- Copy link: opens as a page on any phone. The shortlist travels inside the link after the
#, which browsers never send to the server, so nothing is stored anywhere. The page is served from GitHub Pages.
- Copy text message: one short block per listing with its Airbnb link, for any SMS app.
- Download page file: the same page as a single file with photos built in and no scripts, to attach in Messages or AirDrop.
Privacy
Everything runs in your browser with your own Airbnb session. Review text is never stored, only which flags each review triggered. The only other requests go to OpenStreetMap services (coordinates only) and Airbnb's photo server (for the page file).
