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 Cluj-Napoca: Untold and Electric Castle festivals; Transylvania International Film Festival; IT sector business travel; Universities and medical school. Guests I price for: Festival crowds on 3 to 4 night stays, business travellers and international students' families. Where I start: Festival premiums set months ahead, weekday business rates and winter floors.
I set up your pricing tool so TIFF, Electric Castle and Untold sit as named events above the base curve, minimum stays lengthen automatically before each one, and weekday rates for business visitors never drop below a floor that still covers cleaning and utilities in winter.
The service in general is described on my airbnb pricing strategy page; this page covers how I apply it in Cluj-Napoca.
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.
When I build a Cluj pricing strategy in PriceLabs or Wheelhouse, most of the work goes into events, because the tools' default demand curves cannot see a festival that lifts the whole city for four nights. I add TIFF, Electric Castle and Untold as custom events, set higher minimum stays around them, and give weekdays a floor that reflects steady demand from business visitors.
In our first session we enter the festival dates as named events with their own rates and stay rules, then set the winter floor.
Students return, university intake fills the first weeks of autumn and the Christmas fair in Unirii Square brings December weekends, so I price the start of term and the fair separately.
Winter in Cluj is carried by weekday travel to the tech offices and hospitals, so I keep Sunday to Thursday rates stable and accept that Saturdays will be soft until spring.

Real feedback from PriceLabs pricing strategy sessions with Alaa.
Alaa is a consummate professional! Patient, thorough, efficient and effective in communicating. He not only made savvy adjustments to my dynamic pricing strategy, but also helped me to understand the reasoning behind his methods, granting me a better understanding of the PriceLabs platform. Strong work!
Airbnb host
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 Cluj-Napoca. Lower January and February floors, but keep the Christmas market weekends in the centre above them. Next: load TIFF days in June as a premium for flats near Piața Unirii and the old cinemas, where festival guests want to walk.
Busiest in Cluj-Napoca: Untold in August, Electric Castle in July and the TIFF film festival in June. June to July: TIFF screenings in June and Electric Castle at Bonțida in July each get their own nights in the calendar, while the weeks between them stay at a strong but ordinary summer level. August: Untold weekend is the single most valuable stretch of the Cluj year, so I hold those nights back from early discounts and let the rest of August follow normal summer pricing. 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 Cluj-Napoca: January to February. September to December: Students return, university intake fills the first weeks of autumn and the Christmas fair in Unirii Square brings December weekends, so I price the start of term and the fair separately. January to March: Winter in Cluj is carried by weekday travel to the tech offices and hospitals, so I keep Sunday to Thursday rates stable and accept that Saturdays will be soft until spring.
Untold nights released months ahead at a normal August rate before ticket sales showed the real demand and flats in Mărăști or Zorilor priced off old-town comps without accounting for the walk to the festival venues. I look for these first when I review Airbnb pricing strategy in Cluj-Napoca, 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 Cluj-Napoca behave differently. Zorilor and the hospital area: Close to the medical university and the main clinics, so I price for patients' families and visiting doctors on longer weekday stays rather than for festival crowds. Centru and Unirii Square and Mărăști and Iulius Town get their own treatment.
IT sector business travel, Universities and medical school and Untold and Electric Castle festivals are the dates I price first for Airbnb pricing strategy in Cluj-Napoca. April to May: Easter, the Days of Cluj and the start of conference season lift weekends, so I raise rates in steps and leave the summer festival dates untouched until their line-ups are public.
For Airbnb pricing strategy in Cluj-Napoca, each channel gets its own markup, so the net rate you receive is the same wherever the booking comes from. Cluj-Napoca sells mostly through Booking.com and Airbnb. April to May: Easter, the Days of Cluj and the start of conference season lift weekends, so I raise rates in steps and leave the summer festival dates untouched until their line-ups are public.
How long the walk or taxi ride is to Central Park and Cluj Arena, since that distance decides whether a flat can charge festival rates or only a summer rate. 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 Cluj-Napoca I would start from June to July: TIFF screenings in June and Electric Castle at Bonțida in July each get their own nights in the calendar, while the weeks between them stay at a strong but ordinary summer level. To start, open the chat or email me with your property type and size in Cluj-Napoca.
Results depend on the property, the starting point and the season, so I do not promise a number. In Cluj-Napoca the first gains from Airbnb pricing strategy usually come from the change with the clearest local signal: lower January and February floors, but keep the Christmas market weekends in the centre above them. I review progress against your own occupancy, ADR and RevPAR, not a market average.
