Kotor has 16,898 dwellings and 22,746 residents. 64.5% of the dwellings are used for permanent housing and 32.4% for seasonal use (5,469). With that number the market is smaller than in Bar, Budva or Herceg Novi.
In Kotor 97.9% of arrivals are from abroad, more than in the country as a whole (93.5%), and there were 1,350,610 overnight stays in 2025 (8.8% of all in the country). A foreign guest chooses by photos, price and location and needs a website in their language.
A host in Kotor or the nearby places (Dobrota, Prčanj, Perast and Risan) gets three languages, a gallery, a map with distances to the sights and a calendar with the sample. For small hosts it matters that the enquiry arrives with a date and number of guests, so the reply can be short and concrete.
Recommendation for hosts in Kotor: show the Old Town and the walk along the bay on the map and describe access and parking, because parking is often a question in the old parts of the town. The details in the sample are [examples] that the host replaces with their own.
Collective accommodation: hotels and similar establishments, camp sites, hostels. Individual accommodation (private rooms and apartments) is not in the capacity table, but accounted for 66.2% of all overnight stays in Montenegro in 2025 (collective accommodation 33.8%). Accommodation units are rooms, apartments and camp sites. Residents and dwellings are from the 2023 Census (final results); dwellings for seasonal use are a separate Monstat category.
