The Booking service is the second most popular home-search site in Russia for people traveling home and abroad across all continents. The resource has an extremely clear interface: at the top of the window, the number of guests, city and arrival / departure dates are traditionally indicated.

If the trip is postponed or canceled, the money will be returned to the card within the specified period specified in the contract. The disadvantages include the need to wait for a response from the support service up to several hours.

Prestigia.com

Rating: 4.8

Site to search for hotel rooms around the world Prestigia.com/ru/ occupies the fourth line of our ranking. This is a convenient service, which is extremely easy to use - just enter the number of guests and the date of entry and exit. When searching, you can also use different filters, including selection of offers for promotions or special offers for authorized users of the site.

The interface is user friendly - all the information about the room and the hotel is equipped with thematic tabs, there are many photos, there is a label on the map. Reservations require payment by card, money is refunded if the reservation is canceled by the buyer. However, it is necessary to pay attention to the terms of the user agreement: when buying a number on a promotion, no refund will be made when canceling a reservation. It is better to be reinsured and to clarify payment information in the support service.

RoomGuru

Rating: 4.7

RoomGuru service compares offers from 26 sites and gives them in order of increasing prices. However, the difference is not only the cost, but also in the service, which may differ slightly on different resources, as well as the possibility of using bonuses for authorized users, ordering tickets for transport.The user is offered a large selection of filters to find the perfect hotel and rooms for travel or business travel.

The RoomGuru service is trusted by hundreds of thousands of users, so there are a lot of subjective reviews under each object that will help the tourist to objectively evaluate the hotel and service. To book a room you like, you need to select the best price from a third-party site in the list, the system will send the user to the source. Terms of booking and payment are determined by the primary Internet resource.

Agoda

Rating: 4.7

Another site where you can quickly find a hotel and a suitable room is agoda.com/ru. It offers accommodation options for the same basic requests - the number of guests, dates of stay, city name. A distinctive feature is the possibility of choosing the type of trip: tourist, family, business or group. Depending on this data, the site will offer the most suitable hotel with a range of services that may be interesting and necessary for visitors.

Another feature of the site agoda.com/ru is a variety of bonus programs. The system will offer accommodation at a discount from the hotel or bonuses for booking through the website in selected areas. By the way, bonuses can be saved by constantly using the site for booking.

The site has a guide to the areas of settlement. There is even a point in the filters to mark the nearest sights, near which the tourist wants to stay for living. You can also choose the nearest transport so that it is convenient to get to the target place of the visit from the hotel.

Reservations are possible without prepayment or with a cash payment, the user must select the appropriate option in the filter when entering search parameters. Free cancellation is not possible everywhere, you need to pay attention to it.

The only disadvantage of agoda.com/ru is that the price does not include taxes and fees, which can significantly increase costs in the end.

The best booking sites from private traders

On the sites presented in this category, you can find proposals for the delivery of housing for the tourist from private property owners. Rent an apartment, house or studio is convenient if you are planning a family vacation or a company trip.

Airbnb

Rating: 5.0

The honorable first place in the category of sites for booking took Airbnb.ru. This is a very convenient service, where you can find accommodation around the world for little money. Property owners place a large number of photos to attract job seekers, indicate available services, and travelers who have already visited leave feedback. The page also shows a map with the location of the house, as well as the terms of booking and settlement. However, we recommend contacting the owner to clarify the details of the entry and the date of the visit. Reservations can be free or prepaid. The best offers of the site, noted by the guests, are in the Airbnb heading.

Of the interesting "buns" of the site - search for tourist routes, the service will show where you can not only live, but also get impressions and get acquainted with the kitchen. On the site, you can reserve a table in a restaurant, a master class or photography at key attractions, plan wine tastings and other interesting events. What else is interesting - in any country you can choose entertainment in your native language.For example, in Paris, you can reserve a place in the Russian-speaking excursion.

For those who want to get acquainted with a new country, but do not know which one, the site will offer the most interesting and popular directions at the moment, will show where interesting events and festivals take place.

Among the shortcomings of Airbnb, we note only unstable prices for housing - the owner can set different fees for visits on different days, the cost of living on holidays and tourist seasons is often higher than during the rest of the time. Information is entered into the calendar in the apartment section.

Interhome

Rating: 4.9

Apartments and houses from private owners can be removed on the website Interhome.ru. This service offers some of the best real estate deals around the world, and also takes care of the security of transactions - money is transferred to the account of the landlord upon arrival of the guest. The price for housing indicated in the cards already includes all taxes and fees.

Interhome is a company with representative offices wherever you can rent accommodation through the site. Employees meet guests on the spot, hand over the keys to the apartment. They will help to orient in tourist places and will assist in any situation, help you find the missing things you need for rest and stay, organize excursions and transfers.

The site Interhome.ru will also offer destinations for holidays, comprehensive programs for trips to holidays, weekends by different companies, interesting options for hanging out in the seasons. By the way, to rent housing in Russia will not work, the site is focused on foreign travel.

Booking involves completing a detailed questionnaire, payment is made differently: at some sites for 100% prepayment, at others - partially. In this case, the refund in case of trip cancellation is not fully implemented, the site allows you to hold from 10 to 100% as a fine. Detailed conditions must be carefully read before confirming your reservation.

Homeway

Rating: 4.8

The website for real estate search, which took the third place in the ranking, widely known to Europeans by HomeAway.ru is also available for Russians. Conveniently, a separate registration for the service is not needed - the browser is synchronized with Google, it will automatically offer to log in with an account (if you are logged on to the computer), this saves time.

On HomeAway.ru you can find housing for a short period - prices are unprofitable for long journeys. It is easy to contact the landlord, the support service is working properly, and transactions are insured by the site. The number of filters is not the greatest, the selection of apartments is carried out only through a basic set of requests.

HomeAway site reminds Airbnb leader in design, but qualitatively does not reach it.

9Flats

Rating: 4.7

At the end of the ranking, we present the site 9Flats.com, which differs from others in the ability to compare the selected options. The number of filters is also pleasant - in addition to the number of guests, price range, snapping to places of interest and areas, you can choose the number of bathrooms, bedrooms and even towels. All this is hidden in the tab “More Filter”.

The rest of the site is not very different from other search engines accommodation for tourists - flexible cancellation conditions, which must be carefully reviewed, visitor ratings, recommendations for tourists. You can choose apartments, including on the map of the area - move the cursor to the desired mark, a page with information about the offer will open.
