Rates checked in September 2026. Under its single-fee structure, Airbnb charges most hosts 15,5%; Airbnb says other hosts typically pay between 14% and 16%. Exceptions depend on country and account type. Booking.com sets the commission rate in each accommodation agreement, and visibility programs may increase it. This worked example uses a possible range of 15% to 25%. If Booking.com facilitates payment, the applicable payment terms and transaction cost are contract-specific. Our 6,9% cost contribution is included in the displayed total and contributes towards Stripe payment fees and refunds. Nothing is added at checkout and nothing is deducted from the owner. Fee models can change, so please check each platform’s current terms. Sources: Airbnb Help Center and Booking.com General Delivery Terms.
About Bar
Staying in Bar
Bar is a port city on southern Montenegro's Adriatic coast and the seat of its own coastal municipality. Modern Bar is a practical harbour town, best known as the country's main ferry gateway to Italy and the seaside terminus of the scenic Belgrade–Bar railway. A few kilometres inland sits Stari Bar (Old Bar), one of the Balkans' most atmospheric ruined towns, spread beneath Mount Rumija. Nearby, the Stara Maslina olive tree is protected as a natural monument and reckoned to be well over two thousand years old. The municipality's long coastline runs from sandy Sutomore south toward Utjeha and Ulcinj, threading past olive groves and quiet coves. Late spring and early autumn bring warm water with fewer crowds than high summer. A car is genuinely useful here, since the sights are spread out, though the coastal road and buses connect the main towns. Bar suits history lovers, rail and ferry travellers, and anyone wanting an authentic, less-polished stretch of coast.

Late spring (roughly May–June) and early autumn (September–October) offer warm sea temperatures and lighter crowds, while July and August are hottest and busiest.

A car is helpful because attractions like Stari Bar, the old olive tree and the beaches toward Utjeha are spread out. The coastal road, buses and the railway also connect the main towns if you prefer not to drive.
