Overview

What is Booking.com optimization for rentals in Davos?

Booking.com optimization for rentals is the work I do to make a property rank, convert and price correctly on Booking.com. I audit the listing, complete the content score, tune photos, rate plans, deals and policies, and make the changes with you on Zoom.

What I plan around in Davos: World Economic Forum annual meeting; Parsenn and Jakobshorn ski areas; Spengler Cup ice hockey at New Year; Summer hiking and congresses. Guests I price for: WEF delegates and companies on week-long bookings, ski families and congress visitors. Where I start: WEF week contracting a year ahead, ski-week pricing and cantonal guest tax.

Davos sells mostly through Direct corporate rentals, Booking.com and Airbnb. I set the pricing tool for ski weeks, Christmas and Spengler Cup, with WEF week blocked for direct contracts, and summer rates that use the guest card as part of the value. I also check that minimum stays and changeover days follow the ski calendar.

The service in general is described on my booking.com listing optimization page; this page covers how I apply it in Davos.

My take on Davos

Booking.com optimization for rentals in Davos: how I approach it

Booking.com is a main channel for Davos rentals, especially for Swiss, German and Dutch families. I check the property type, guest tax settings, house rules and key collection instructions, and I make sure rate plans suit ski weeks and shorter summer stays. During the forum I keep inventory closed or restricted so contracted dates are protected.

First I review the guest tax and check-in setup, then confirm that the forum and Christmas dates carry the right restrictions on this channel.

April to May and NovemberLow

Lifts close and much of the resort pauses, so I keep low rates for congress guests and long stays or close the property for maintenance.

June to OctoberShoulder

Hiking, biking and congresses bring summer guests, so I price weeks and long weekends moderately and include the guest card benefits in the listing.

Davos Dorf

Near the Parsenn railway and the lake, Dorf suits ski families and summer guests, and I price ski weeks and lake views as clear premiums.

My full Davos calendar, areas, pricing moves and the mistakes I fix are on the revenue management consultant page for Davos.

My view

Why rentals should look at Booking.com again

Many hosts connect Booking.com once and never return, then wonder why it brings so little. The channel rewards completeness and price position, and it reaches guests who never open Airbnb. I fix the listing and tie its rates to your pricing strategy.

Who it is for

When Booking.com optimization for rentals makes sense in Davos

A new Booking.com listing

You have just connected Booking.com and want it to rank and convert from the first weeks, not after months of guessing.

Views but few bookings

Visibility looks fine and conversion does not, which usually means content, photos or rate plans on Booking.com.

Commission without much return

You pay Booking.com commission and its share of bookings is small next to your other channels.

A portfolio with uneven quality

Some listings are polished on Booking.com and others were never finished, and nobody owns the standard.
