Szallas Group helps refugees of Ukraine

Szallas Group has been determined to help refugees of Ukraine since the first day of the war with the best we can offer: our expertise in finding and booking accommodation. Our enthusiastic Hungarian, Czech, Polish and Romanian teams were working 24/7 on the right solution and came up with booking/listing pages in every country to connect refugees looking for accommodation and accommodation providers. Of course, the biggest help in this situation is free accommodation but we cannot obligate our partners to offer their accommodations for free after 2 years of Covid. What we can do is to provide a special list with 50% or higher discounts. Obviously we don’t charge commission for the reservations made via these sites. We also provide extra support with our multi-language customer service teams to find accommodations for those in need. In the last weeks we have supported thousands of Ukrainian families to find accommodation.
The Hungarian and Czech list pages are for direct booking with no commission being charged for bookings made there. The Polish and Romanian sites work as listing pages so refugees can easily find accommodation providers and contact them directly. Direct links to the specific pages:

The pages are continuously expanding with new offerings and we are also looking for accommodation providers beyond our partner network. So if you or someone you know would like to offer their place with a minimum 50% discount (or even for free), please contact us at the addresses in our LinkedIn post.
We hope that our solutions can help many refugees and we are beyond proud of everyone who participates in our assistance!
