Frequently asked questions about casas particulares in Cuba
What is a casa particular in Cuba?
A casa particular is a private home that Cubans legally rent to travelers — from a room in a family house to a whole house or apartment. It is the most authentic and almost always the cheapest way to stay in Cuba compared with a hotel.
How do you pay for a house rental in Cuba?
With RentalHo you book and pay online via TropiPay before you travel — no relying on your card working on the island. We also take local payment (CUP, cash in USD/EUR on arrival, and local transfers). Airbnb processes foreign cards, but booking direct is usually cheaper.
Is it safe to rent a casa particular in Cuba?
Yes. Casas particulares are a regulated system and the most widespread accommodation in the country. Every RentalHo property is verified and run by a local host, with 24/7 WhatsApp support in English and Spanish.
How much does a casa particular in Cuba cost?
It depends on the destination: from about USD 14–34/night in areas like Playa Larga, Santa Clara or Santiago de Cuba, up to USD 64–350/night for a full house or pool villa in Varadero. See the price-by-destination table above, or filter by your dates for live rates.

For a first visit, Habana Vieja; for the beach, Varadero or Guardalavaca; for nature, Viñales or Playa Larga; for culture and history, Trinidad, Cienfuegos or Santiago de Cuba. Each destination has its own guide and listings below.
