Yes. In European countries, certified service animals are allowed in vacation rentals regardless of the property's pet policy, and no additional fees apply. Exceptions may apply in specific health and safety situations, so we recommend contacting your host in advance.

What is the definition of an assistance animal?

The following are considered service animals in Europe:

• Guide dogs for the blind
• Hearing alert dogs for the deaf
• Seizure alert dogs
• Other classes of assistance dogs

In Europe, unlike in the US, therapy animals (for example, for anxiety) are not considered service animals.

Can a host refuse my service animal?

Hosts with certified dangerous allergies do not have to accept service animals. If this applies to your booking, the host will let you know in advance.

What should I do before my stay?

Contact your host before you arrive. Share that your guest is traveling with a certified service animal so you can plan your stay with confidence.

We hope this helps you find the perfect stay for you and your furry friend!
