One of the goals of the Yearimhotel.com website is to ensure that it affords people with disabilities the best possible level of accessibility.
Based on our strong belief that every individual has the right to live a proud, equal-opportunity and independent life, we have invested significant resources and many hours of labor in developing the site, to ensure that it will be as user-friendly and accessible as can be for people with disabilities.
Clarification
We are continuing all the time, in our efforts to improve accessibility to our site, believing that it is our moral responsibility to enable continuous, accessible and undisturbed use, even for those of us coping with disabilities.
Despite all our best efforts to make our entire website contents totally accessible, it may be that certain sections have yet to be fully adapted to accessibility requirements (most probably due to the absence of technological solutions).
