When we arrived in Gelendzhik, it seemed to me that everything would be somewhat simpler than it actually came out. The calculation was this – we We come in the middle of May, while it is not yet a season, we rent housing on month, and everyone is happy, and the hosts, that will earn the extra money, and we, because we save on the cost of rent. Maybe, we were simply spoiled by Southeast Asia, since everything is logical in this respect and just.
I once wrote an article Vacations on the coast of Russia or in Turkey? Inspired by our monthly travel in Russia and in In principle, my opinion has not changed. I still don’t quite understand why go there for a beach holiday, no normal beaches, no service, and even dirt will shaft in the season. Rest with a tent like you can understand, but if the hotel, even with a flight is cheaper It will turn out in Turkey, only the level will be completely different. But oh well talk about the findings in terms of housing.

Findings on rental housing for the month
So, although we didn’t come to rest, but life is worth testing for subject to relocation, but in fact our search for housing is weak differed from searches for ordinary vacationers. And that’s why – almost no one wanted to give us a discount on accommodation due to the fact that we immediately wanted to rent for a month. For the locals it is too much. short term and in the category of long-term lease, we do not fall. So way in season or just before the season lasting one month does not mean anything and most landlords want daily payment Of course, we found a couple of options, but this is still a search. need to. So you can apply for a discount or, if you shoot really for a long time, or not in season, or for the whole summer period. I.e ordinary vacationers who come on vacation, shines only daily rent.
How to rent a house in Gelendzhik cheap
The second conclusion we made, the owners of the rooms can simply not want to rent a house because it is not ready yet, they say, sweep up it is necessary, to give out the laundry washed, the season has not come yet and so on. I almost have to beg, and the people are so reluctant talking, with such a stony face, mda – And they say it is bad live 
Ha! Yes, for me, everything is fine here, since no extra money need to. There was one woman, that even at once the price was high called to quickly end the conversation.
Sometimes there was a feeling that all landlords behind the scenes agreed among themselves that in no case can dumping You come to the guest house, and there is not a soul, and obviously still no one month, but no, no discount, no indulgence, and the price of the summer is thrashed. Most struck that housing in the village Coastal (5 km from the sea and zero infrastructure) is more expensive than in Gelendzhik, and is comparable to the price of an apartment in Moscow. 15-18 thousand in a month for a small room without amenities with 2-4 beds and a scoop crooked closet (by the end of the summer will be even more expensive). I was so shocked that they didn’t even photograph IT. In Gelendzhik, Of course, this also occurs, but the conditions are generally better, air conditioning maybe a bathroom in the room and so on.
Photo from the Internet, that’s the type of it costs 15-18 thousand per month in Shore
Most often the price goes not for a room, but for a person, therefore, if you are traveling a lot of people, it may be cheaper to rent an apartment Gelendzhik or Divnomorsky, because in apartments often goes calculation for a large family and put several beds, with the restriction up to 4-6 people, and the conditions there are a priori better due to isolation. When renting an apartment, it is worth keeping in mind that many of them are the summer period is surrendered only by the day, and even to those who rent the apartment has to pay a lot over the summer months price
How to rent a house in Gelendzhik
I come to the point of how to look for housing in Gelendzhik and surroundings. Honestly, normal sites are few, that is there are a lot of sites, but everywhere there are only middlemen and outdated data. You call the “owner”, and they tell you right away, and there is such an apartment, and so, but everything quickly diverges, prices are in no way lower, decide faster anyway without an agent will not find. Vparivayut in general.
At the beginning of the season (end of May-June) the cost of housing in Gelendzhik starts from 250-350 rubles per day per person for a simple room with conveniences (sometimes conveniences divide 2-3 rooms) and somewhere from 1000-1200 rubles per day for an apartment. Then prices rise every month, reaching in August 500 rubles and 2000 rubles, respectively, and in September fall to the June level, then the season ends.
Search in place
Actually, the main way to search for hotels is the same as in Asia. – namely, on-site or on recommendations from friends, because very many hotels are not present anywhere on the Internet. Arrived walked around in the right area, asked around, looked, that the most fits, and settled.
True, in this way it is easier to mini-hotels or hotels to search, because they have signs hanging on the street “Rooms are being rented”, “Hotel such and such.” But with the apartments other ways: the Internet, newspaper, agency. Of course, you can also ads posted in the area look, but I have not tried.
Also, do not forget that even at the railway station or at the airport, especially after the season has begun, they will meet themselves owners and taxi drivers and obsessively offering to settle in 50 meters from the sea for “very cheap.” If you are already in Gelendzhik, then you can go to the autocarts (which is old and in the city center), there there is always one offering.
Internet search
Hotels and rooms
Hotels and rooms in guest houses are best searched traditionally on Hotellok. This is an excellent price comparison service for hotels in various reservation systems. I know many people use only Bucking, but booking systems there is much more and, at least, still a couple it makes sense to browse if you are traveling on Russia.
Since Hotellook shows hotels from all systems at once, the base is just awesome. In any case find something. Well, how am I said you can choose through whom to book this or that the hotel will be cheaper.
Apartments
I would recommend using only two sites to search. Apartments – Airbnb and Avito, there are the largest and most current offers. Moreover, the services work in completely different ways. Avito – it’s just the most common ads, then you come across the same the most intermediaries, stumble on outdated ads, no guarantees do not get. Airbnb, by contrast, is a special service for direct booking of accommodation, with some guarantees payment by card, reviews from other guests.
After registering with Airbnb you can get a bonus of $ 20 for this link. The bonus can be used for a year after check in by making the first reservation. And be sure to look my post about the Airbnb service, in which I described how register, how to confirm your account, how to search for accommodation and so on
Below is another link to the sites I threw, there are many more, but even to see these sites take time. Plus it will be necessary ring up your favorite options and find out whether room / flat / house and what are the conditions of the reservation. Wherein no guarantee that you will not be thrown at the money with a preliminary booking or on the room that upon arrival will be busy.

Search for housing through the newspaper
The newspaper is called “With a light hand” and it posted ads about renting or selling. To make it easier to understand I will explain, there ads go in blocks, first rooms, then 1-room apartments, then 2, then houses and plots. And need leaf through almost the entire newspaper, because the blocks are not in a row.
Newspaper C light hands
In fact, this method is more suitable for finding an apartment, but not rooms, and for a long time. There are much more such ads, rather than on the Internet (only Avito met offers for long term). But also for rent there too there are suggestions. It is worth considering that there are enough agents here, Some of them can be calculated by the same number. phone.
Our little search experience
In brief, I will describe our experience, suddenly someone will come in handy.
- Initially, we began to look at rooms in the Coastal, Renaissance, Krynitsa, Bette (went and asked the locals who gave). Like me wrote at the very beginning of the post, for the rooms are absolutely some kind of inadequate prices thrashed.
- Switched to search for rooms in Gelendzhik. But almost nowhere there was a patio normal, at best tables and benches on narrow space and everything is rolled into concrete, sometimes also next to highway this whole thing. And we have a child should crawl somewhere, the room is small (sometimes without a window), you will go crazy there, that’s why at least a yard is needed, but in Gelendzhik everything is very closely, the house on the house, therefore, the rooms are small, and courtyards. And the owners are so praising, that they have a courtyard, and it’s all for children, and super-comforts, but in reality it turns out that we have very different views on everything this.
- Then we realized that in addition to the yard, we need our own bathroom, toilet and kitchen preferably, not common. Moreover, if suddenly and who settles in the neighborhood, we do not want with anyone intersect and do with them toilet or kitchen, and they will not be delighted with our screaming child (this is he in the pics such sweet).
- As a result, we switched to the search for an apartment or house, that is something isolated in Gelendzhik itself. Almost the first day I found 2 good deals on Airbnb and went to see them. The first – it was a room, but quite large, with nice furniture, air conditioning (amenities on the floor are divided into 3 rooms). Master immediately said that she said that she would be idle, I will gladly pass you cheaper than usual, that is, for 15 thousand per month. It is a pity that such adequate hosts were greeted a little. The second sentence is whole cottage floor, two bedrooms, living room, kitchen, air conditioning, shower and toilet, courtyard pool and green courtyard with grass, mountain view, a little furniture, but enough. The owner wanted 30 thousand a month for it, which is very cool for a resort, and it’s understandable what you pay for. Minus – half an hour on foot from the sea and parks, and on the mountain. So, experience with Airbnb turned out to be quite successful.
- Just in case, I bought a newspaper and phoned about 10 ads. on the delivery of one-bedroom apartments. At the price of 20-25 thousand rubles per month there were two offers, the rest, either gave up by the day, or, on the contrary, only for a long time. I was also given contacts of one man in Gelendzhik and he also tried to find something for us, but found nothing sensible.
P.S. Photograph all the housing that I saw and do a review, not I see the point, because there is too much of it and it is rather of the same type. BUT apartments and rooms on Airbnb, you yourself can look at their site.
