Accommodation prices in Vrnjačka Banja

Rough prices by type of accommodation

There is no single price list — every host and hotel sets its own price, and the difference between November and July can be twofold. All prices are in Serbian dinars (RSD); many hosts also quote in euros, so ask which currency the price is in. The best publicly available snapshot is a survey published by Kurir in November 2024 ahead of a holiday weekend:

Expect to pay more in the summer season and during carnival week, and less off season. Hotels with full board cost more per person than private accommodation, but the price includes meals and often the pool.

How prices have changed since 2012

This site has published prices since 2012, which gives a rare chance to compare. Back then we wrote that full board in a hotel double room cost between RSD 1,400 and 4,300, a private apartment RSD 1,500 to 4,000 a night, and a bed in a private room RSD 400 to 1,700. Apartments were then often let for 20 to 25 euros a night for the whole apartment. Today's examples in the table show that a night per person now costs about what a whole apartment used to — roughly speaking, prices have tripled in about ten years.

What goes into the final price

• Per person or per unit — apartments are traditionally paid as a whole, rooms and hotels per person. Listings don't always make this clear.
• Tourist tax (boravišna taksa) — charged per person per night, usually on top of the room price.
• Short-stay surcharge — for one or two nights many hosts add 20 to 50 per cent.
• Seasonal supplement — public holidays, the carnival and summer weekends.
• Extras — breakfast, parking, use of a pool or sauna are sometimes charged separately.

Tourist tax from October 2026

The state's new decree on the maximum and minimum tourist tax (Official Gazette of the Republic of Serbia, no. 90/2026), applying from 15 October 2026, sets ranges by category of tourist destination — from 90 to 140 dinars for the fourth category up to 190 to 240 dinars for the first, per person per day. The municipality sets the actual amount within those limits. Before you travel, check with your host how much the tax is and whether it is already included in the price you were given.

Example: what a family of four pays

Two adults and two children (aged 4 and 10), four nights outside the main season, in an apartment paid as a whole. Say the apartment costs RSD 6,000 a night and the tax is, as an example, RSD 150 per adult:

Had the same family taken rooms charged per person, the total would have been noticeably higher. That is why, for families and longer stays, it pays to look for an apartment charged as a whole. Before paying a deposit, also read our checklist on how to book accommodation safely.
