An Airbnb pricing strategy is the set of rules that decide what each night is worth: base, minimum and maximum prices, seasons, events, minimum stays, gap nights, last-minute pricing, length-of-stay discounts and channel markups. The tool applies the rules; the strategy is what makes the tool worth having. Smart Pricing is not a strategy, because it optimizes for Airbnb's fill rate and knows nothing about your events or other channels.
What I plan around in Bilbao: Semana Grande festivals; San Sebastián Film Festival; Pintxos and gastronomy tourism; Guggenheim and surf season. Guests I price for: European and North American couples on 2 to 4 night stays. Where I start: Festival premiums, summer rates, and Basque tourist-flat compliance.
I configure your Airbnb and Booking.com pricing with Semana Grande, Aste Nagusia, Jazzaldia and the Film Festival loaded as premium dates, minimum stays tuned to festival weeks, and a winter strategy built around gastronomy weekends and the Tamborrada rather than steep discounts.
The service in general is described on my airbnb pricing strategy page; this page covers how I apply it in Bilbao.
I set the base from a real comp set, a minimum that protects your margin and a maximum that stops you underselling a peak night, listing by listing.
I build seasonal profiles and event premiums from the local calendar, so rates move before demand does and not after.
Minimum stays, gap and orphan nights and length-of-stay discounts are set to fill the calendar without discounting the whole month.
I configure OTA markups so your net rate is the same on Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo, and leave time to ask anything about pricing.
“Bilbao and San Sebastián sell gastronomy, the Guggenheim and Basque festivals. Semana Grande in August and the San Sebastián Film Festival in September are the peaks, and the Basque authorities have tightened rules on tourist flats. I price festivals firmly and check registration first.”

Rain and short days quieten the coast, but the Tamborrada on 20 January lifts San Sebastian for one night. I price that date up and run lower floors and longer stays around it.
Easter, spring gastronomy trips and Guggenheim visitors return. I raise weekends steadily and keep two-night minimums, since couples come for a long weekend of pintxos.
Jazzaldia in San Sebastian and BBK Live in Bilbao bring music crowds. I price festival nights as premiums and keep beach-side homes on firmer summer rates.
Semana Grande in Donostia and Aste Nagusia in Bilbao make this the top month. I price both festival weeks at the top of my range with three-night minimums.
The Film Festival and autumn surf keep San Sebastian full. I hold festival week rates firmly and ease Bilbao weekdays as business demand settles in.

Alaa was fantastic, going through each of the properties I had and gave great advice and actioned a great game plan. Would highly recommend for anyone looking to enhance their pricing strategy on PriceLabs. Alaa's experience goes beyond this which makes it very beneficial to have this holistic approach.
Property manager
Alaa helped me optimize my PriceLabs settings for my Airbnb listing and was very helpful and patient with answering any questions I had. He was also able to clearly explain why he made the changes he made, and it was obvious that he had a lot of experience in this field. I will definitely be back!

For Airbnb pricing strategy, the first changes are base and minimum prices and the seasonal profile, since those drive most of the revenue in Bilbao. Lower November to February floors. Next: price San Sebastián summer weekends higher than Bilbao.
Busiest in Bilbao: July to September, Semana Grande in August, and the San Sebastián Film Festival in September. August: Semana Grande in Donostia and Aste Nagusia in Bilbao make this the top month. I price both festival weeks at the top of my range with three-night minimums. September to October: The Film Festival and autumn surf keep San Sebastian full. I hold festival week rates firmly and ease Bilbao weekdays as business demand settles in. For Airbnb pricing strategy, the strategy I build sets seasonal profiles, event premiums and minimum-stay rules around these windows before they open for booking.
For Airbnb pricing strategy, for the quiet months I set the minimum price, last-minute and gap-night rules and length-of-stay discounts so nights fill without dropping below your floor. Quietest in Bilbao: November to February. March to June: Easter, spring gastronomy trips and Guggenheim visitors return. I raise weekends steadily and keep two-night minimums, since couples come for a long weekend of pintxos. November to February: Rain and short days quieten the coast, but the Tamborrada on 20 January lifts San Sebastian for one night. I price that date up and run lower floors and longer stays around it.
Film Festival ignored and bilbao and San Sebastián priced from one comp set. I look for these first when I review Airbnb pricing strategy in Bilbao, and fixing them is usually the quickest gain.
For Airbnb pricing strategy, i set base prices and comp sets per area, with a separate profile where two parts of Bilbao behave differently. Gros: Zurriola beach and the surf scene attract younger couples and surfers. I price summer and autumn surf weekends well and accept slightly lower rates than the old town. Parte Vieja, San Sebastian and Casco Viejo and Abandoibarra, Bilbao get their own treatment.
Pintxos and gastronomy tourism, Guggenheim and surf season and Semana Grande festivals are the dates I price first for Airbnb pricing strategy in Bilbao. March to June: Easter, spring gastronomy trips and Guggenheim visitors return. I raise weekends steadily and keep two-night minimums, since couples come for a long weekend of pintxos.
For Airbnb pricing strategy in Bilbao, each channel gets its own markup, so the net rate you receive is the same wherever the booking comes from. Bilbao sells mostly through Airbnb and Booking.com. March to June: Easter, spring gastronomy trips and Guggenheim visitors return. I raise weekends steadily and keep two-night minimums, since couples come for a long weekend of pintxos.
Whether the listing competes in San Sebastian's Parte Vieja or Gros, or in Bilbao's Casco Viejo, since those markets price very differently even an hour apart. For Airbnb pricing strategy, i check this before touching a single rate, because a base price built on the wrong assumption makes every rule worse.
PriceLabs and Wheelhouse strategy sessions are one-time and priced by listing count: $125 for up to 2 listings, $250 for 3 to 6, $370 for 7 to 10 and $480 for 11 to 15, with larger portfolios priced per listing. Revenuenaire Dynamic Pricing software is from $17.99 per listing per month. The scope of Airbnb pricing strategy is the same in every market, but the plan is not: in Bilbao I would start from July: Jazzaldia in San Sebastian and BBK Live in Bilbao bring music crowds. I price festival nights as premiums and keep beach-side homes on firmer summer rates. To start, open the chat or email me with your property type and size in Bilbao.
Results depend on the property, the starting point and the season, so I do not promise a number. In Bilbao the first gains from Airbnb pricing strategy usually come from the change with the clearest local signal: lower November to February floors. I review progress against your own occupancy, ADR and RevPAR, not a market average.
