Hotel revenue management consulting is an independent review followed by a plan. I look at 12 to 24 months of your own data, shop your comp set, and find where rates, restrictions or channels are costing you money. Unlike outsourcing, I do not make your daily decisions; your team does, with a better plan.
This is my view of Budva. Budva has one of the sharpest summer peaks I know. July and August are packed with families and groups from Serbia, the wider Balkans and further east, plus western Europeans on beach holidays, while the winter is very quiet. New apartment buildings keep adding supply. I price hard in the peak weeks, win the edges of the season early and keep a property clearly different from the many similar flats around it.
For a Budva owner I review registration, tax handling and the competitive set, then plan the short peak, the shoulders and a realistic winter. Because supply keeps growing, I spend time on what makes the property different and how that shows in price and photos.
The service in general is described on my hotel revenue management consulting page; this page covers how I apply it in Budva.
A review of the last 12 to 24 months: pricing decisions, rate architecture, restrictions, channel mix and cost, comp-set position, pace and the systems behind them, with every gap ranked by value.
Base rates and floors per room type, BAR levels tied to occupancy and pace, seasonal and event calendars and restrictions, written as a 12-month calendar your team can run.
Which channels to sell on, at what rate and with which promotions, so the mix protects margin: OTAs, corporate, wholesale, metasearch and direct.
A demand forecast, an annual budget, weekly pace reports and a workshop for your team, plus honest advice on revenue systems before you sign for one.
Budva hotels often grew fast and kept pricing habits from their first seasons: one summer rate, deep allotments to familiar agencies and little planning for the shoulders. I review contracts, meal plans and competition from the new apartment buildings, then write a plan for July and August, for June and September, and for the winter. The team keeps the plan and runs it.
My starting point is a comparison of agency, OTA and direct rates for the same August week, which shows who really pays the most.
Holiday weekends bring regional visitors, and flights to Tivat and Podgorica pick up. I price those weekends separately and keep minimum stays short.
Beach season starts and families with young children arrive before school holidays. I hold good rates and begin moving toward longer minimums for July.
Long sandy beach and calmer evenings attract families who book whole weeks. I build weekly rates and price beach access as the main lever.
My full Budva calendar, areas, pricing moves and the mistakes I fix are on the revenue management consultant page for Budva.
Performance has flattened

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 hotel revenue management consulting, that is where my audit begins, because a finding here changes every recommendation after it. How the apartment compares with the newest buildings nearby on pool, lift, parking and air conditioning, which regional families check closely before booking a week.
Busiest in Budva: July and August. June: Beach season starts and families with young children arrive before school holidays. I hold good rates and begin moving toward longer minimums for July. July to August: These weeks set the year's income. I use firm weekly rules, raise rates as availability tightens and keep a close watch on what neighbouring buildings are charging. For hotel revenue management consulting, my audit tests whether your current rates and restrictions capture these windows, and the 12-month calendar I hand over sets them in advance.

Results depend on the property, the starting point and the season, so I do not promise a number.

I review progress against your own occupancy, ADR and RevPAR, not a market average.
