Consultant's view

Alaa's take on Batumi

“Batumi is a summer beach city built on a huge stock of high-rise apartments, so supply is the first thing I look at. July and August bring Turkish, Armenian and Israeli families to the Boulevard, while casinos keep some weekends busy all year. The rest of the year many towers stand half empty and prices collapse fast. I win on position and view in summer, then hold casino weekends and set floors that stop a race to the bottom in winter.”

How Alaa would price a property in Batumi

The moves Alaa makes first when a hotel or host in Batumi books a session, and the errors he corrects most often. Every one is set up inside your own pricing tool, so it keeps working after the call.

Alaa's pricing playbook for Batumi

  1. 1

    Price sea views and high floors clearly above city views in the same tower, because guests compare units side by side.

  2. 2

    Use 3-night minimums in July and August and open shorter stays in June and September.

  3. 3

    Add a weekend lift for Turkish and Israeli casino visitors, who come outside summer too.

  4. 4

    Price Old Batumi apartments on their own comps, as they sell walkability rather than the beach.

  5. 5

    Set winter floors and use monthly lets instead of nightly cuts that only match the cheapest tower units.

Mistakes Alaa fixes most in Batumi

  • Pricing against the cheapest units in the same complex instead of on view and finish.
  • Holding summer minimum stays into autumn when demand has gone.
  • Photos that do not show the actual view from the actual floor.

How I price Batumi through the year

Revenue management consultant in Batumi, Georgia
  1. November to MarchLow

    The seafront empties and many towers go quiet, so I keep only well-located flats open at nightly rates and move the rest to monthly lets or seasonal closure.

  2. April to MayShoulder

    Spring is mild but wet, and weekend visitors from Türkiye and Armenia start returning; I lift Fridays and Saturdays first while weekdays stay close to winter levels.

  3. JuneHigh

    The beach season starts and regional families begin arriving, so I raise rates through the month and introduce minimum stays ahead of the July rush.

  4. July to AugustPeak

    Every seafront tower is busy, so I sell sea-view flats at the top of the range, keep three-night stays and avoid long discounted bookings that block peak weekends.

  5. September to OctoberShoulder

    The sea is still warm and families leave, so I shorten stays, target couples and casino visitors, and bring rates down gradually through October.

Where I price Batumi differently

New Boulevard and the seafront towers
Large residential towers with sea views and pools; I price by view and floor, and limit discounts because the busiest summer weeks fill even the plainer units.
Old Batumi
Low-rise streets near Europe Square and Piazza draw couples who want cafés and walking; I price these flats on charm and location rather than the beach.
Gonio and Kvariati
Quieter beaches south of the city towards the Turkish border suit families in summer, so I price for longer stays and accept a very short season.

What I check first in a Batumi audit

  1. 1The real view from the window and the floor number, because Batumi guests choose between near-identical towers and pay most for an unbroken view of the sea.
  2. 2Whether the building has reliable lifts, security and pool or beach access, as these practical points are what separate one tower from the next in reviews.
  3. 3How many similar units are listed in the same complex, since a flat competing with hundreds of neighbours needs a different strategy from a standalone apartment.

FAQ

Questions Batumi owners ask Alaa

How do I compete with so many apartments in Batumi?

Alaa sets prices by view, floor, finish and distance to the Boulevard, then shows those features first in the listing, rather than matching the lowest rate in the tower.

Is there demand in Batumi in winter?

Some, mostly casino weekends and regional visitors. Alaa keeps weekend rates and moves weekdays to monthly lets.

Should I join a management company that runs many units in my Batumi tower?

Sometimes it helps, especially for check-in and cleaning, but those companies often price every unit the same. I compare their fees and pricing with independent management, and check whether your view and finish would earn more if priced on their own.

Do Turkish and Israeli visitors book differently in Batumi?

Yes. Turkish guests often drive in or come for short casino weekends, while Israeli travellers tend to fly in for several days around their own holidays. I watch flight schedules and regional holiday calendars and price those dates individually rather than relying on a single summer curve.

Has Alaa Elhadi worked with properties in and around Batumi?

Yes. Alaa has optimized 100+ properties in and around Batumi, from single Airbnb listings and small hotels to management companies running hundreds of units. Everything is remote on Zoom, scheduled in Georgia Time (UTC+4).
