Dobovo booking center informs about specifics of booking in the period of holidays in May. This month Ukrainians will have 4 days-off in the beginning — on 1st, 2nd, 3d, 4th, and in the middle — on 9th and 11th of May. Such a big amount of free days increases the interest to domestic tourism and all the citizens of Ukraine more often choose the most popular routes as a vacation idea.

The most popular cities are still Kiyiv, Lviv and Odessa — tourists keep choosing it from year to year to spend their holidays. This is determined by well-developed infrastructure and wide variety of places to visit. These cities are popular among families, couples and groups of friends. Our website statistics shows that in May the biggest demand is in Lviv — the amount of requests is almost twice bigger than in Kiyiv which is only on the third place. Odessa is on the second with 10% bookings than in Kiyiv.

Most of the tourists choose the first days of May to travel when the amount of free days in bigger. The average amount of nights per booking in Kiyiv is 3 and for Lviv and Odessa — one night more. Such a tendency is connected to the fact that the average price per night for an apartment for daily rent is higher in Kiyiv than in other cities. For example, apartment for daily rent in Odessa will cost 600 UAH per night, in Lviv — 700 and average price in Kiev will vary around 850 UAH per night.

Also, you should be ready to the fact that it’s almost impossible to book an apartment for one or two nights as almost all the hoteliers restrict the minimum nights for booking.

«Beginning of May is the hottest period for the tourism. In these days demand is always outstripping supply which always cause essential increase in price for accommodation. Usually the prices for apartments for daily rent in the most popular cities as Kiyiv, Lviv and Odessa grew at least twice and the bookings for at least three days were accepted.
