Orca Score for Airbnb — Instantly rank any Airbnb listing before booking
Featured
33
Thousands of you use Airbnb for extended stays, but it's hard to compare listings when everything has 4.5-stars. Orca Score instantly ranks listings based on amenities for extended stays so you can compare amenities before booking.

Hey PH Community! I never thought we’d make this tool public, we actually built it for our own internal use, but our Members found it so valuable that we wanted to release it to the remote work community publicly. For months (before starting Orca), @atneik and I were living out of Airbnbs, booking multiple months at a time. To find good/reliable listings, we spent dozens of hours scrolling through photos, reading descriptions, and looking through amenities that you can’t actually filter by. It was a huge pain. Eventually we launched Orca so we never had to stay in a bad unit again — soon thereafter we built the Score tool to help our members assess listings in destinations we hadn’t launched yet. Our members found it insanely valuable, we were a bit shocked, and so we decided to engage the whole community of remote workers with this valuable tool. The Orca Score instantly checks listings for the amenities that matter for extended stays: verified wifi, kitchen essentials, laundry machine, etc. It’s really hard to compare listings when everything has 4.5-stars, but our 100-point system makes it way easier to compare apples to apples. I hope you find it as valuable as we do! Don't forget to follow me, Orca, and Orca Score on X! Thanks for your feedback and trying it out, Devan

I use AirBnB very often and my big concern is that I can't sort by rating (as you can do in Booking). Your solution also looks interesting. i will definitely try it!
Devan Sood
@elizakarelina thanks Liza! let me know what you think after you try it out, I'm excited to hear your feedback.

Hi, is the 40% off lifetime discount?
Devan Sood
@torsten_p hi! it's 40% off one-time, but you can use it on the annual pass so you don't need to pay again for a while 😊 DM me anywhere if you have any questions about the membership!
Lucas Pilzen
Looks sweet. Will there be a Chrome Extension to use it while having the Airbnb web app open?
Devan Sood
@lucas_pilzen we're definitely thinking about that! would that be something you're interested in/ would use?
Devan Sood
@lucas_pilzen great insight we’ll definitely take this into account!
Zak
@lucas_pilzen @devansood or just a "bookmarked url" people can drag/drop listing URLs into! (to test out the waters)
Devan Sood
@zakelfassi another great idea!
julio luque
highly recommended! Very useful tool for professional tourists or digital nomads I personally know one of the founders and @atneik is a great human.

What’s up PHers, Just four weeks after launching Orca Pass to the world, we bring you our newest tool: Orca Score. As @devansood mentioned, we quickly grew tired of spending dozens of hours looking for the best listings, so we built the Orca Score to help us find better listings faster. We’re so excited for you to try it out, I’ve got a good feeling that you’ll find it super helpful in your search too. Whenever you’re ready, you can become an Orca Member to get access to the best listings in the world at exclusively low prices. Thanks for checking out our launch today! Aniket

This is going to be short and sweet: Airbnb's way of checking listings sucks. The only way to learn this is by going through a multitude of horrible experiences with them. Their customer support is great, but I much rather just have peace of mind after I travel for 18 hours straight than some vouchers after I got screwed. Thanks for creating this, Devan!

@alex9414 100%! Can’t wait to help your trips become more reliable 🫡
Jonathan Grimes
I'm curious about Orca Score's accuracy. How does it ensure reliable information for users?
Adam Fry
Very interesting concept, will give it a try! Good luck on the launch and wishing you continued success.
Aniket Handa
@adam_fry Thank you so much! Let know what you think and how can we improve after you try it out.
George Kalandadze
Oh wow, this is great! and very much needed! Can say how many times have stayed at an Airbnb that had 1 fork and no knives, pots, or pans. Or you show up there is a TV but it doesn't have a remote. This should be a game-changer, congrats on the launch and best of luck guys!
Devan Sood
@george_kalandadze exactly!! we're sick of that happening too. hopefully this changes how you find your next listing :)
Zak
This is a game-changer! (maybe as people rank abnbs they're also getting listed on a page with their scores, for easy search? which can then of course become an Orca user acquisition strategy ...)
Devan Sood
@zakelfassi you’re onto something here 🫣
