To list a hotel or short-term rental online in Ukraine: create a property profile with photos and a description, set up room types and pricing, enable online payment and an availability calendar, and start accepting bookings directly. On UA Pro Stay, owners receive direct bookings without the high commissions charged by international aggregators.
Why owners are moving away from high commissions
International aggregators are convenient, but they take a significant share of revenue — commissions often reach 15–18% per booking. For a 10-room hotel, that is tens of thousands of hryvnias every month. A Ukrainian platform with lower commissions and direct payouts in hryvnias keeps more money in the owner's pocket.
