Airbnb revenue management is the ongoing work of pricing every night, setting stay rules, managing channels and reporting results. It goes further than a pricing tool: I review the strategy as demand, events and your own pace change, and I explain every change I make.
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 revenue management page; this page covers how I apply it in Bilbao.
I review demand and pace and make two or three price changes a week where the market calls for them, inside the tool you already use.
On Plus I also optimize listings, plan promotions, track competitor rates per listing and manage Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo together.
A monthly summary on every plan and a full ADR, occupancy and RevPAR report on Plus and Pro, so you see what changed and why.
On Pro I forecast demand, keep a 12-month pricing calendar, meet you monthly and review quarterly, and I set launch prices for new listings.
“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.

One listing and no time
You want pricing handled properly without checking the calendar every day.
A growing portfolio
You manage several listings and need one consistent, scalable method.
A property manager
You want owner-ready reporting and revenue leadership without an in-house hire.
Smart Pricing is not enough
Airbnb's own tool optimizes for Airbnb's fill rate, not your revenue across channels.
Send the listing links, your pricing tool and your goals. I confirm the plan level and the monthly price for your listing count.
I build the base, minimum and maximum prices, seasons, events and stay rules for your market before the first month starts.
I watch demand and pace and move prices and restrictions as the market does.
Step 4
You get the monthly report, and on Pro we meet, and I adjust the plan from the results.
Priced monthly by listing count on a graduated curve, so there are no tier cliffs. Plus adds 35 percent and Pro 75 percent to the Core price. Never a percentage of revenue.

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.

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!

Busiest in Bilbao: July to September, Semana Grande in August, and the San Sebastián Film Festival in September. 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. 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. For Airbnb revenue management, i raise floors and tighten minimum stays ahead of these windows and review pace every week, so the strongest dates never sell early at a shoulder rate.
For Airbnb revenue management, that is the first thing I check before taking on the pricing, because everything else sits on top of it. The Basque tourist-flat registration number and whether the building and zone still allow the use, because both cities have tightened the rules and the answer frames everything else.
Price Semana Grande and the Film Festival as premiums. Next: add surf season for Zarautz and nearby coast homes. For Airbnb revenue management, i start with base rates, the seasonal calendar and restrictions, because that is where a Bilbao property usually leaks the most.
For Airbnb revenue management, in the quiet months my job is to protect the floor, close gaps with length-of-stay and last-minute rules, and keep the property visible on every channel. 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 revenue management in Bilbao, and fixing them is usually the quickest gain.
For Airbnb revenue management in Bilbao, i manage channel mix, parity and promotions together, so the cheapest route to a booking is not the most expensive one for you. Bilbao sells mostly through Airbnb and Booking.com. 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.
Casco Viejo and Abandoibarra, Bilbao: The old town and the Guggenheim riverside suit culture visitors and business guests. I price Bilbao below San Sebastian and load BBK Live and Aste Nagusia dates. Parte Vieja, San Sebastian and Gros get their own treatment. For Airbnb revenue management, i set rates, comp sets and restrictions per area and per room or listing type, not as one citywide number.
Guggenheim and surf season, Semana Grande festivals and San Sebastián Film Festival are the dates I price first for Airbnb revenue management in Bilbao. 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.

The scope of Airbnb revenue management 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.
