We will tell you in detail how to find and book your own hotel in Cuba. What to consider when booking and what to look for when choosing a hotel?
Where can you book a hotel in Cuba
This can be done in popular booking systems such as Booking, Ostrovok, Ozon, etc. However, to find the lowest price, it is better to use the Booking search engine - its advantage is that it compares hotel prices in different booking systems. Thus, you do not need to manually check prices on different sites - you save time and effort.
We have repeatedly come across the fact that prices for the same room in the same hotel differ greatly on different booking systems. So why pay more when you can book a hotel in Cuba or anywhere else for the lowest price Booking will find? We always use it and advise you too.
Why we recommend looking for and booking a hotel in Cuba in advance in a search engine? Can't you do it on the spot? It is possible if you are ready for difficulties: places may run out (especially in high season), and you will have to walk from hotel to hotel with your luggage in search of available rooms. Or there will be only very expensive rooms (or very bad ones). Another pitfall you need to be aware of - at the reception, the cost of rooms can be significant abovethan on the internet. In this case, you can connect to the hotel's Wi-Fi and book a room right at the reception.
How to book a hotel in Cuba on your own
Everything is easy and simple:
- Enter the desired city and dates on Booking.
- Apply the necessary filters to the search results: stars, distance (from the beach or center), rating, price. There are more options in the left margin: you can select the type of accommodation (for example, a mini-hotel), the style of the hotel (budget, luxury, etc.), services (kitchen, swimming pool, parking).
- To quickly find and book an inexpensive but highly rated hotel in Cuba, select Booking above. "Price quality" - hotel promotions will be included in the results. You can skip this point if you are not concerned about cost.
- Click on the hotel you like, then choose a room. At this stage, carefully look at which rooms are offered and how much they cost. It happens that a room with a sea view is only slightly more expensive than a standard without a view - why not take a room with a view?
- We proceed to booking, enter the data of the passport and, if necessary, the card (sometimes the reservation is made without prepayment).

Booking Tips
Here are some helpful tips to look out for when looking for and booking your own hotel in Cuba:
- It is better to book a hotel in Cuba in advance (about 1-3 months before the trip), especially if you are going on vacation during the high season.
- Want to save money? Come during low season and off season.
- It is best to choose a hotel with a rating above 7 on Booking. We try to book hotels with a rating of 8-9.
- Read the reviews carefully, they are very helpful. For example, the staff at the hotel has changed, and now it is not as pleasant to relax there as before, but this fact has not yet affected the rating.
- In more expensive hotels, meals are included in the price, usually breakfasts. In some cases, it is more profitable to take all inclusive.
- Estimate the distance to the beach or city center.
- Go through the dates, if possible - it happens that by checking in a day or two later or earlier, you can save money.
Beach holidays in Cuba are possible all year round, but high season the period from November to May is considered. You need to understand that at this time the prices for hotels in Cuba are skyrocketing, and in order to have time to book something inexpensive, you have to try. In Varadero, in high season, the minimum cost per room per night starts from $ 60, in Havana - from $ 45 (for $ 20-40, only homestay is offered - accommodation in the hosts' house).
