A property is considered fully accessible when it is barrier-free, meaning guests with reduced mobility can reach and use its key areas without steps or obstacles. On Holidu, you can filter for "barrier-free" or "wheelchair-accessible" properties to find these options before you book.
What does "fully accessible" mean on Holidu?
A fully accessible property is one designed so that guests with disabilities can move around comfortably and independently. Holidu uses the term "barrier-free" for these properties. They offer step-free access to all key areas, along with features that support guests who use wheelchairs or other mobility aids.
