Due to international sanctions, it is no longer possible to book accommodation in Russia via Booking.com, Airbnb, or other Western platforms. The best current alternative is the Russian platform Zenhotels. It allows payment with foreign debit and credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, Maestro, and American Express), and the booking process is very simple: just select a Russian city, your travel dates, and the number of guests in the form below, then click “Search”.
Important: Due to international sanctions, since October 2025 ZenHotels has not been available for users in the EU and the UK. However, it still works in the rest of the world. If you live in the EU or the UK, you can use a free VPN such as Proton VPN to simulate being in the United States or Japan (i.e. outside the EU/UK) and book accommodation on ZenHotels.
