AccessTrip Overlay is a Chrome extension from ExtensionHub.app that scores hotel and rental listings for accessibility while you browse Booking.com, Airbnb, and Hotels.com. This guide explains every feature, the scoring math, Free vs Pro access, AI key setup, and how to avoid common mistakes.
What AccessTrip Overlay Is Used For
AccessTrip Overlay is built for travelers who need reliable accessibility signals before they book—especially wheelchair users, people with limited walking distance, families with strollers, and anyone who has been burned by a listing marked “accessible” that was not usable on arrival.
Primary jobs it does:
- Read publicly visible amenity text on Booking.com, Airbnb, and Hotels.com listing pages
- Score that text against your mobility and energy profile (0–100 scale)
- Show a floating badge and expandable panel without leaving the page
- Let you save only the listings that match your needs
- Optionally generate a multi-day itinerary that respects max walk (meters), energy level, and rest days—using your own AI API key
- Export a printable checklist or push data to Google Sheets / Notion with your tokens
Key User Pain Points and How This Chrome Extension Solves Them
| Pain point | What usually happens | How AccessTrip helps |

| “Accessible” room fails on arrival | Hours of calls; still surprises at check-in | On-page score from amenity text + your profile before you book |
| Tab chaos across Booking / Airbnb | Screenshots and sticky notes | One-click save into a local Accessible Trip list |
| Search pages hide accessibility | Open every card to check | Mini badges on search results with score + price hint |
| Itineraries ignore energy limits | Over-scheduled days, no rest | AI plan constrained by max walk (m), energy, rest days (Pro) |
| Export friction | Copy-paste into Sheets | HTML checklist free; Sheets/Notion with your tokens (Pro) |

Accessibility Score Formula Used by AccessTrip (Units and Validation)
Scoring runs entirely in the browser on publicly visible page text (amenities, description snippets). No private hotel systems are accessed.
Inputs (with units)
| Input | Unit / type | Validation |
|---|---|---|
| Page amenity + body text | text (string) | Read from DOM; empty → low confidence |
| Mobility profile | enum | wheelchair | limited_walking | stroller | sensory | none |
| Max walk per segment | meters (m) | Recommended 50–2000; default 400 m |
| Min door width | centimeters (cm) | Optional reference (60–120 cm); not always on page |
| Require elevator | boolean | true/false |
| Prefer roll-in shower | boolean | true/false |
| Energy level | enum | low | moderate | high (AI only) |
| Max activities / day | count | 1–8 (AI only) |
Score calculation (0–100)
Keyword families (examples)
- Positive: wheelchair accessible, step-free, roll-in shower, elevator, lift, accessible entrance, ramp, grab bars, ADA, barrier-free
- Negative: not accessible, no elevator, stairs only, not suitable for wheelchair, steps to entrance
Label and confidence
Worked Example: Scoring a Hotel Listing
Scenario: You use a wheelchair, require an elevator, and prefer a roll-in shower. Max walk preference: 400 m.
Page text found: “Wheelchair accessible rooms, elevator to all floors, roll-in shower available on request, accessible parking.”
- Baseline = 40
- Positive hits (wheelchair accessible, elevator, roll-in shower, accessible parking) → 4 × 12 = 48, capped at +45 → score 85
- Elevator required + elevator found → +10 → score 95
- Roll-in preferred + found → +10 → score 105 → clamped to 100
- Label = High; confidence = High (≥3 positive hits)
Counter-example: Text says only “charming historic walk-up, stairs to entrance, not suitable for wheelchair.”
- Baseline 40, negatives ≈ −40, few or no positives → score near 0–20, Label Poor
Search Results: Price and Accessibility Combined Ranking
Purpose: Surface access signals on search cards so you do not open every listing.
Benefit: Faster shortlisting when price and access both matter.
On Booking.com and Airbnb search pages, AccessTrip injects a mini badge such as A:72 · $189. The access portion uses the same keyword score on the card text. Price is parsed from visible price nodes when present (display only; currency as shown on site).
AI Accessible Itinerary Generator (Pro)
Purpose: Turn saved listings + your energy limits into a day-by-day plan.
Benefit: Avoids over-scheduling and long walking segments.
Why Pro: Calls external AI APIs using your key; unlimited use is part of the paid tier.
How to run it
- Save several candidate listings from detail pages
- In Options, paste your API key for OpenAI, Gemini, Claude, Groq, or OpenRouter
- Unlock Pro ($9) with your Gumroad license key
- In the popup: set days (1–14), choose provider, add notes (e.g. “prefer museums with elevators”)
- Click Generate Itinerary — review and verify every suggestion
The model is instructed to respect max walk (meters), energy level, rest days, and max activities per day, and to end with a “Verify before you go” checklist.

| Sheets export fails | Scope / tab error | Token needs spreadsheets scope; tab name AccessTrip. |
| Notion export fails | Property mismatch | Database needs Name, Score, Label, Site, URL; share with integration. |
| Badge missing | No teal button | Use a supported listing URL pattern; refresh; check extension is enabled on the site. |
AccessTrip Overlay FAQ
Does AccessTrip book hotels for me?
No. It scores and organizes research. You book on the travel site as usual.
Is the score an official accessibility audit?
No. It is derived from public page text matched to your profile. Official compliance is the property’s responsibility.
Do I need to pay for AI separately?
Pro ($9) unlocks the itinerary feature inside AccessTrip. Token usage is billed by OpenAI, Google, Anthropic, Groq, or OpenRouter under your account. Free tiers (Gemini, Groq, OpenRouter free models) often cover light use.
Where is my data stored?
Profile, saves, and keys stay in chrome.storage.local on your device. AI/export calls go from your browser to the provider you chose.
Which sites are supported?
Listing detail and search patterns on Booking.com, Airbnb (including .co.uk), and Hotels.com detail pages. Layout changes on those sites can temporarily affect extraction—refresh or re-save after updates.
How do I buy Pro?
Purchase at muhiuddinalam.gumroad.com/l/access-trip ($9), then paste the license key under Options → Pro License → Verify.
Can teams use one license?
Follow Gumroad’s license terms for your purchase. Each browser profile stores its own local data and API keys.
