Many years ago, on the original of FSU forums, I knew "Kevin", the founder and then owner of Kherson Girls, should it be Kevin that still owns it then he's a pretty sound guy.
Exactly, since Ukraine relaxed the visa requirement is has become one big minefield.
Try Moldova, Belarus, one of the 'Stan" countries, when I was younger I had two girlfriends in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, a nuisance to travel to/from but well worth it once there, at the time an average salary in Ukraine might have been USD300 per month, in Uzbekistan it was USD30 per month, I changed USD100 and got a shopping bag full of local currency that probably lasted me the entire week that I would have been there for!
According to a whois search Kevin is still involved in Kherson Girls, here's the info with his phone number and email address, perhaps drop him a line:
i was there yesterday and it is true that kevin is not there i saw the pics kevin has children and i guess for the sake or children eudcation the family has to live in the US, i met with nellie who is the coordinator and translater in the office. they are downsizing which is true, rentlnig a smaller office. sometimes kevins father in law come. there is one thing i dont understant, if someone wanna scam guys from overseas he can be either ukrainian american australian or whatever. even if the owner is amercian and he is physcially in the office, still he can scam people
Martin - their rate is variable as discussed here tinyurl.com/hwocr3z
Even if they take what you suggest they are bringing you a customer you would never of had.
What I usually do is book one night with Booking.com then extend my stay with the property if necessary. Booking.com does not take a cut of this.
What I don't like is how Booking.com takes care of my credit card information. I made a booking and as I was checking into the property there was a fax from Booking.com with my credit card information lying out on the front desk for all to see. Anyone could have copied my credit card information and...
Since that time I've registered a 'dummmy' credit card with Booking just for the purpose of reservation. Then I use my real credit card or cash at checking.
Sometimes it's funny to watch properties get all pissed because they can't bill my card in advance. The British ones are particularly nasty about it but the one benefit is that I've made several cancellations for free. Ha ha, and these properties think they are entitled to one night or more cancellation fees.
Tom ... Are you trying to teach me to suck eggs? :)
I'm a hotelier!!!
booking.com were Dutch but they are now owned by the Priceline group who also own agoda.com who I market my establishment via ... agoda.com's rates start at 17% and increase should I want to move higher up their search results.
booking.com had been phone marketing me, I'd been telling them, pretty much, to bugger off, that I wasn't interested, and then they walked in to my establishment one day still insistent upon giving me their hard sell, their bottom rate was 17% and if they could have offered me lower, bearing in mind I was totally disinterested, that would have been their opportunity to offer it to me!
I've booked more hotels and negotiated more hotel contracts, during my 30 year airline career, that it is likely you've had hot dinners.
My establishment has 9 rooms, I have 4 rooms loaded on my own website's booking engine, 4 rooms loaded on agoda.com, 3 rooms loaded on travelbook.ph and I have rooms listed on airbnb.
As soon as rooms start selling I need to start blocking off rooms on various websites, it's complex enough as it is, I am more than satisfied with occupancy rates, I don't need to or want to load more rooms on more websites!
their apartments are very expensive, you can live downtown for 15 dlls per day in a super luxury apartment, try https://www.facebook.com/groups/418646331486940/ they will accept dollar payments so you will get very good rate conversion
khersongirls is full of... lets call it, girls who just pretend to get some gifts from tourists... I was there, long time relationship with an ukrainian girl, I meet her friends who had local boyfriends, and eventually discover that the girl I was dating has another local boyfriend too
the young girls from KG never have years listed, they never get married with their customers, just eventually when they get married with a local guy they just disappear from the lists...
for those who can take the girl to other country, they eventually go back or just get divorced...
you don't neet a marriage agency, you can do it by yourself using vkontakte, I did it and it worked, but the reality is that the ukrainian society is very different, a lot of corruption, they cheat their partners, etc.. I prefer the latinas which are better wife material
