Online apartments booking system.

We are proud to present you our innovative website for booking apartments in Kiev, Odessa, Lviv, Kharkov, Poltava, Vinnitsa, Donetsk and other cities of Ukraine - www.dobovo.com

I'd like to quote our Kiev Apartments blog regarding what we mean when we say "online booking":

When we say "online" - we mean ONLINE.
Those people who have already been to Ukraine and tried to book an apartment in advance know that most of websites claim to have online booking, however in 99% they mean that you can take a look on photos and leave request with your dates by submitting an order form online - that's what they mean by "online booking" :) After submitting that form you have to wait for an answer of manager who will either confirm an availability or offer you something else. This process usually takes from few hours to few days depending on a lot of things.
Now what we mean when we say "online booking" is that most of apartments on www.dobovo.com have online availability calendar provided by apartment manger which allows you to get the information about availability for your dates online by specifying your check-in and check-out. You don't need to wait for an answer - you see the actual instant availability of desired apartment online, therefore after you found available apartment for your dates you can book it during few minutes confirming your reservation online.
You might have noticed that we used phrase "most of apartments on www.dobovo.com have online availability calendar" - that means that there are some apartments which do not have that calendar and you can see whether apartment has availability calendar or not by an "ONLINE" icon near apartment in the list. If apartment has this "ONLINE" mark - you can book it within few minutes as it has availability calendar, if it doesn't have that mark - we call such apartments "offline apartments" and when you request such an apartment on www.dobovo.com - the system automatically send availability request to apartment manager and the moment he answers on that request - you get emailed about that and can proceed with the reservation if that apartment is available. In the meanwhile you will get other similar options which are definitely available for your dates.
We surely try to increase ONLINE apartments amount and decrease amount of so-called "offline apartments".
