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 Coimbra: University of Coimbra; Queima das Fitas student festival; Joanina Library visits; Coimbra fado tradition. Guests I price for: visiting parents and cultural travellers on 2 to 4 night stays in the Alta university quarter and the Baixa below it. Where I start: the academic calendar as the real seasonality driver, a sharp Queima das Fitas peak, and AL registration for lets near the university.
I set up your pricing so the student festivals and graduation weekends sit in their own bands, with minimum stays that match how parents and alumni travel. Weekly rates for visiting academics and hospital visitors fill the gaps, and Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo all follow the same rules.
The service in general is described on my airbnb pricing strategy page; this page covers how I apply it in Coimbra.
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.
“Coimbra follows the university calendar. Queima das Fitas in May is the sharpest peak, graduations fill early summer and parents visit throughout the year. December and January are quiet. I price the academic calendar first. The university shapes everything, from parents visiting in term time to empty weeks in holidays. Knowing the academic calendar is more useful here than looking at tourism seasons.”

Exam season and the semester break leave the Alta quiet, so I hold a modest floor and target visiting lecturers and patients' families coming to the university hospital with weekly rates.
Easter coach tours to the Joanina Library and spring weekend visitors pick up, so I price Easter individually and keep ordinary weekdays near the floor.
The student festival week brings families, alumni and partygoers into the city at once, so I open it early as the top band with a minimum covering the cortejo parade day.
Graduation ceremonies, summer tourism and day trips to Conímbriga keep demand steady, so I price the graduation weekends separately and let summer weekdays settle a little lower.
The Latada welcome festival for new students and parents' first visits lift October, so I price those weekends up and accept a quieter November and December.

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 Coimbra. Keep AL registration current. Next: add graduation weekends as premiums.
Busiest in Coimbra: May for the Queima das Fitas student festival, plus the summer graduation and tourist season. May (Queima das Fitas): The student festival week brings families, alumni and partygoers into the city at once, so I open it early as the top band with a minimum covering the cortejo parade day. June to September: Graduation ceremonies, summer tourism and day trips to Conímbriga keep demand steady, so I price the graduation weekends separately and let summer weekdays settle a little lower. 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 Coimbra: December and January university breaks. October to December: The Latada welcome festival for new students and parents' first visits lift October, so I price those weekends up and accept a quieter November and December. January to February: Exam season and the semester break leave the Alta quiet, so I hold a modest floor and target visiting lecturers and patients' families coming to the university hospital with weekly rates.
Queima das Fitas ignored and academic calendar ignored. I look for these first when I review Airbnb pricing strategy in Coimbra, 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 Coimbra behave differently. Baixa: The flatter lower town with shops and fado houses; I position it for parents and older visitors who want easy access, with steady year-round demand. Alta (university quarter) and Santa Clara get their own treatment.
Joanina Library visits, Coimbra fado tradition and University of Coimbra are the dates I price first for Airbnb pricing strategy in Coimbra. March to April: Easter coach tours to the Joanina Library and spring weekend visitors pick up, so I price Easter individually and keep ordinary weekdays near the floor.
For Airbnb pricing strategy in Coimbra, each channel gets its own markup, so the net rate you receive is the same wherever the booking comes from. Coimbra sells mostly through Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo. March to April: Easter coach tours to the Joanina Library and spring weekend visitors pick up, so I price Easter individually and keep ordinary weekdays near the floor.
How many steps and slopes guests face to reach the flat in the Alta, since older parents and fado-night visitors often choose the Baixa to avoid the climb. 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 Coimbra I would start from May (Queima das Fitas): The student festival week brings families, alumni and partygoers into the city at once, so I open it early as the top band with a minimum covering the cortejo parade day. To start, open the chat or email me with your property type and size in Coimbra.
Results depend on the property, the starting point and the season, so I do not promise a number. In Coimbra the first gains from Airbnb pricing strategy usually come from the change with the clearest local signal: keep AL registration current. I review progress against your own occupancy, ADR and RevPAR, not a market average.
