Terms and Conditions

At AccessCrimea, as we are simply an agent for the accommodations on our site, and do not own them ourselves, we have to work according to the rules set by each individual landlord/landlady or hotel manager. As a rule, the level of service in Crimea does not match that in the West, and sometimes accommodation owners can be less lenient about giving refunds than we would want them to be. However, as you are our client, our main aim is to keep you happy, and if any issues arise regarding making a cancellation or claiming a refund, we will do out very best to ensure your satisfaction.

To cancel a booking, please notify us by email. We will get back to you within 24 hours. If you have not heard from us in that time it is because we have not received your cancellation.

All cancellations made 14 days prior to the check-in date are usually subject to a full refund. For later cancellations, fees depend on the hotel or appartment cancellation policy solely. However, canceling your hotel at least 5 days prior to the check-in date you can be sure that cancellation fee would not exceed one night stay cost. For cancellations made less than 5 days prior to the check-in date the cancellation fee will equal the sum of the deposit which equals the cost of 2 nights stay.

Train tickets - 50% of the train ticket cost is refunded, provided we receive the tickets no later than 10 days prior to the train trip. The Accesscrimea booking fee is non refundable.

Air tickets – The air tickets refund policy depends on the Air company solely.

Please note: To cancel tickets they must be received by us no later than 10 days prior to the flight.

The Accesscrimea booking fee is non refundable.

The refund amount (calculated based on the conditions above) will be credited back to your bank account (less transfer costs) within a week after cancellations are confirmed.

Changing a booking during your stay -

If you decide to change your booking during the stay we will do everything possible to satisfy the request. The amount that we will be able to refund you depends soley on the policy of the individual hotel or apartment. Generally during the off-season (October to April), accommodation owners are more inclined to give refunds in the event that you change your booking. During the high season (May-September), they tend to be more strict, as this is the time when demand exceeds supply. If you are not satisfied with the accommodation that we have selected for you, we will do everything we can to find you more suitable accommodation. Rfunds in this case will be discussed on a case-by-case basis.

If in this intermediate period the accommodation that you choose is suddenly booked out, we will offer you the other accommodation options of a similar standard and location. Due to specifics of the internal transportation system, there are time limits for booking domestic train tickets. Domestic air tickets usually can be booked within 30 days prior to the flight, though some airlines can be booked earlier. Please, check with us.
