How to book hotels in Crimea on Booking.com

Attention! The system Booking.com completely closed the possibility of booking hotels on the territory of the Russian Federation (hotels outside the Russian Federation are still available for booking). If you need to book accommodation on the territory of Russia and Crimea in particular, you need to use Russian search and booking systems for accommodation and hotels:

• 🛌 Search for hotels on Ostrovok.ru
• 🛌 Hotels and accommodation in Crimea on Sutochno.ru (💥 we recommend, the bonus system works)
• 🛌 Hotels and accommodation in Crimea on Turum.net
• 🛌 Search for recreation centers in Crimea on MirTurbaz.ru

Since 2014, after the annexation of the Crimean Peninsula in the Russian Federation, various sanctions have been constantly imposed on citizens and businesses. This also affected tourism, including self-employment. So, the peninsula was excluded from the search by the popular worldwide short-term housing booking system AirBnB (fortunately there is a domestic alternative - Turum.ru and so on). And now the world's most popular hotel reservation system Booking introduced "conditional" sanctions for the search and booking of hotels on the territory of the Crimean Peninsula, excluding them from the results of its search. Even earlier, the hotel search engine Agoda did the same. Now, by searching for hotels in Crimea in these systems, you will simply receive "0 options available" in response. But fortunately, booking sanctions in Crimea are easy to circumvent if desired.

So, to book accommodation or hotel in the Crimea on Booking.com it is enough on the main page at the bottom of the search form just to set/enable the "I travel for work" checkmark, and you will immediately receive a complete list of all search results and the ability to book them. This option is enabled on both personal computers and mobile devices, so you can easily search and book options from your smartphone or tablet. Here's how this option is enabled on a personal computer:

The reason for such conditional sanctions, as can be assumed, is that the leadership Booking.com it decided to impose sanctions against recreation and tourism in the Crimea, but has nothing against business travel. For tourists, there is no difference in the quality of booking accommodation. So you can still use this most popular and convenient system for searching and booking hotels and accommodation to organize your vacation in the Crimea without any problems, just do not forget to include the mentioned option.
