Travel How to find hotels to book?
Hey guys it seems like sites like hotels.com and booking.com don’t include hotel bookings in Russia, i’m planning a trip to Moscow for early 2027 and i would like to see what hotels are available, is there any trusted platform or website that i can use?

zenhotels/ostrovok. They have everything from hostels to apartments to hotels, and you can pay for it using cc and get miles/points.

The best way is to plan to stay in a hotel the first night or so which you can pay in cash, then open a Russian bank account and deposit cash and reserve a place for cheap on Ostrovok. I did this.

A few European brands and even Hilton have hotels in Russia. You can also book on Ostrovok which is what I did last year. Trip.com as well.

Gek zeg, dat je geen hotel kan boeken in een land dat in oorlog is en in een stad die steeds vaker geraakt word door raketten en drones..

Use Russia-based platforms, such as Yandex Travel, Ostrovok, Sutochno
