Accommodation in Crimea

You can stay on vacation in Crimea in a very different type of accommodation: in hotels, guest houses, private sector, camping, etc.

It is better to book accommodation in advance on large and popular services. You can negotiate with private traders or hotel staff directly, for example, by phone. However, there are risks - sometimes tourists are deceived (canceled reservations, require surcharges, slip a worse room than was agreed, etc.). We recommend looking for accommodation in Crimea using the well-known Hotellook service - there are both hotels and the private sector.
