Where is the best place to book hotels in 2026 if Booking and Agoda no longer work in Russia?

If you are looking for where to book a hotel in 2026, when Booking and Agoda have become unavailable for Russians, the best replacement today is Trip.com. This service offers a huge selection of hotels worldwide and, most importantly, accepts Mir cards perfectly. For trips abroad, this is probably the most convenient option now.

For travel within Russia and CIS countries, we recommend paying attention to proven domestic services. Here is a list of the best alternatives that we use ourselves:

• Ostrovok.ru — the oldest and most reliable Russian service. You can find accommodation not only in Russia but also in other countries.
• Sutochno.ru — an excellent replacement for AirBnB for finding private apartments and houses. Ideal if you are traveling with a large group or with children and want to save money.
• ZhiliByli — a new service that often offers the same options as Ostrovok but at a lower price.
• Yandex.Travel — a convenient aggregator from Yandex where you can not only book a hotel but also buy tickets. However, there are still few budget options there.
