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 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 revenue management page; this page covers how I apply it in Cluj-Napoca.
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.
Short-term rental income in Cluj comes from three very different guests: festival groups in summer, business visitors on weekdays and families visiting students or patients at the clinics. Managing a flat here means deciding each month which of those groups the calendar should favour. I adjust minimum stays before each festival, protect weekday business bookings and fill winter with longer stays where weekend demand is thin.
My first step is to check what is already booked for June to August and at what rate, before touching any other prices.
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.
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.
Newer blocks near the business parks and the mall suit tech visitors who want parking and a modern flat, so I lean on weekday and monthly rates here.
My full Cluj-Napoca calendar, areas, pricing moves and the mistakes I fix are on the revenue management consultant page for Cluj-Napoca.
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. Prices below are for one listing. Never a percentage of revenue.
| Option | What you get | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Core | Managed pricing, run for you every day | From $225/mo |
| Plus | Pricing plus listing and channel optimization | From $305/mo |
| Pro | Full revenue management with a monthly strategy call | From $395/mo |
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!

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 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. Which nights around Untold and Electric Castle are already sold and at what rate, because Cluj owners often take the first festival enquiry at a price set before tickets went on sale.
Open Untold and Electric Castle dates as soon as the line-ups are announced, with a 3-night minimum and a clear rule on guest numbers. Next: set a separate Monday to Thursday rate for IT and conference visitors, with a monthly option for consultants on longer projects. For Airbnb revenue management, i start with base rates, the seasonal calendar and restrictions, because that is where a Cluj-Napoca 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 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 revenue management in Cluj-Napoca, and fixing them is usually the quickest gain.
For Airbnb revenue management in Cluj-Napoca, i manage channel mix, parity and promotions together, so the cheapest route to a booking is not the most expensive one for you. Cluj-Napoca sells mostly through Booking.com and Airbnb. 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.
Mărăști and Iulius Town: Newer blocks near the business parks and the mall suit tech visitors who want parking and a modern flat, so I lean on weekday and monthly rates here. Centru and Unirii Square and Zorilor and the hospital area 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.
Universities and medical school, Untold and Electric Castle festivals and Transylvania International Film Festival are the dates I price first for Airbnb revenue management in Cluj-Napoca. 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.
For Airbnb revenue management, you get one experienced person who knows your numbers, with a small team and a tool stack behind me, and no account-manager layer in between. I have optimized 100+ properties in and around Cluj-Napoca and work remotely in Eastern European Time (UTC+2). Locally, that shows up in decisions like this: lower January and February floors, but keep the Christmas market weekends in the centre above them.
Airbnb revenue management is priced monthly by listing count, from $225 a month for one listing and $325 for two, with Plus at 35 percent more and Pro at 75 percent more than Core. It runs month to month and is never a percentage of revenue. The scope of Airbnb revenue management 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.
