How we set your Airbnb prices
Airbnb pricing, explained
How we set your Airbnb prices
Good Airbnb pricing isn’t one number. It’s a price for every night, set by how many guests want that date, plus the rules around it. This is the Airbnb pricing strategy we run for every revenue management client, in PriceLabs, in your name.
- 1Start from what guests really pay
We compare your home with similar homes nearby on the full guest total for a real 2-night stay, cleaning included, not just the nightly rate. That sets your base price and the minimum price your nights won’t drop below.
- 2Price every night by demand
Weekends, school holidays, public holidays and local events go up; quiet mid-week nights are priced to fill. Prices move every day as dates get closer and bookings come in. That’s dynamic pricing.
- 3Set stay rules that match how guests book
Most guests book Friday to Sunday, so minimum stays, gap-night and last-minute rules are set to fill the calendar without leaving single nights nobody can book.
- 4Check, explain, adjust
The same prices go to Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo through your channel manager. We compare the results with homes nearby, change what isn’t working and explain every change in your live revenue portal.
Airbnb Smart Pricing or PriceLabs on its own will move your prices, but how well it works depends on its settings. A revenue manager decides those settings and checks them against the market. Want the detail? Read how to set your Airbnb base rate, setting a minimum price by market percentile and how Airbnb decides which listings show first, or estimate what your home could earn.
Who we help: sound familiar?
Who we help
Sound familiar?
- Your calendar has gaps between the busy weekends
We tune mid-week prices, minimum stays and gap-night rules so the quiet nights fill too, not just peak season.
- Your peak nights sell out months ahead
That usually means they’re too cheap. We lift prices where demand is strong and let them settle as the date gets closer.
- Your prices haven’t changed since you set them
Ours change every day from live market data, local events and school holidays, and every change comes with the reason.
- You’re relying on Airbnb’s Smart Pricing
We run PriceLabs in your name with your own minimum price, seasons and events, and send the same prices to Booking.com and Vrbo.
- Your listing is buried in search
Title, photo order, description and amenities are rewritten from your listing’s own search, click and booking data, then checked again.
- You don’t have time to watch the market
We do it every day. You keep running the home your way, and see every booking and price in your live revenue portal.
