There are a large number of accommodation facilities in Ukraine, ranging from hotels and hostels to guest houses and cottages. And even though the total number of accommodation facilities has decreased by 30% since the start of the full-scale invasion, there is currently no shortage, and it is quite easy to find accommodation in Ukraine.

In addition, hotel owners have begun to actively work on improving their services, as ensuring the safety of guests has become a key aspect during the war.

What to look for when booking accommodation in Ukraine?

When planning a trip to Ukraine, it is important to choose your accommodation carefully, as comfort and safety are the keys to a pleasant journey.

How to plan a trip to Ukraine and what to see in Ukraine if you are travelling in summer — find out by following the links.

Here are the key factors to consider when booking a hotel, hostel or apartment:

– Location and transport accessibility. Check the distance to the city centre, tourist attractions, train stations or the airport. Even nice accommodation can be inconvenient if it takes a long time or is difficult to get to.

– Availability of shelter. Due to the security situation, it is worth checking whether the establishment has shelter or access to the nearest shelter. This information is often indicated on the hotel website or in the description on the booking service.

– Living conditions. Check that everything you need is available: hot water, heating (in cold weather), air conditioning, kitchen (for apartments), washing machine. Pay attention to photos and reviews – they give a real idea of the condition of the room.

– Guest reviews. Ratings on platforms help you understand the real level of service, cleanliness, friendliness of staff and accuracy of the description.

– Additional services. Pay attention to the availability of Wi-Fi, breakfast, parking, shuttle service or 24/7 reception. In large cities, this significantly increases the comfort of your stay.

– Accommodation type. The choice between a hotel, hostel or apartment depends on the purpose of your trip. Hostels are for budget travellers and meeting new people. Hotels offer classic comfort. Apartments are for long stays with a kitchen.

– Photos and real descriptions. Don't ignore the small details: number of beds, balcony, lift, suitability for children or people with disabilities — all of this is worth checking before paying.

Is it safe to travel in Ukraine in 2025?

The security situation in Ukraine remains tense due to ongoing aggression from Russia. Government and international organisations recommend refraining from travelling to frontline regions, particularly in the east of the country. At the same time, western regions such as Lviv, Ivano-Frankivsk, Zakarpattia and Chernivtsi are considered relatively safe for travel.

Staying in Ukraine requires caution and vigilance, especially under martial law.

To ensure a safe trip to Ukraine in 2025, follow these recommendations:

– Check official information. Familiarise yourself with your country's Foreign Office advice on travel to Ukraine. Keep an eye on announcements on the websites of the State Border Service of Ukraine and local authorities.

– Prepare your documents. Make sure your passport is valid and your visa (if required) is in order. Make copies of important documents (passport, insurance policy, visa) and save them in digital form.

– Take care of medical insurance. Your policy should cover treatment in Ukraine, including possible emergencies, and it is also advisable to have additional coverage for risks related to war.

– Stay alert for air raid sirens. Install the Air Raid Siren mobile app (App Store | Google Play) and learn the rules of conduct during shelling. In case of an alarm, immediately proceed to the nearest shelter.

– Do not photograph military objects. It is prohibited to photograph checkpoints, military equipment, Ukrainian Armed Forces positions, and other strategic objects.

– Be prepared for checks. During wartime, law enforcement officers may check your documents. Always have them with you.

– Follow the guide's instructions, especially in areas near destroyed objects.

– Respect the memory of the dead — this is not just a tour, but a place where history lives.

Insurance for safe travel to Ukraine

To feel as safe as possible during your travels and business trips, we recommend that you take out appropriate medical insurance. Such insurance is especially important for foreigners, as any foreign insurance policy automatically becomes invalid upon crossing the Ukrainian border due to the martial law imposed in Ukraine.

The best option for travelling around the country is an insurance policy that covers military risks, as such insurance covers not only standard medical care/treatment/diagnostics, etc., but also accidents and injuries caused by passive or direct military risks.

Take out a policy and travel around Ukraine easily, comfortably and safely with Visit Ukraine!
