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 Donegal. Donegal is a self-catering county. Families from Northern Ireland and the rest of the island book whole weeks in July and August, and the July holiday fortnight in the North fills the coast early. Outside summer it turns into a weekend market for Derry and Belfast, with surfers in Bundoran and walkers at Slieve League. I price summer as weeks, the shoulder as weekends, and treat visitors from across the border as a core audience.
For a Donegal owner I review registration, the mix of family weeks and weekend breaks, and how the property compares with true neighbours on its stretch of coast. I leave a calendar with summer weekly rates, shoulder weekend rules and a winter plan that keeps occasional bookings coming.
The service in general is described on my hotel revenue management consulting page; this page covers how I apply it in Donegal.
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.
Donegal hotels I review often get July and August right but leave shoulder weekends flat, even though visitors from across the border fill them from Easter to the October bank holiday. I look at how wedding minimum spends compare with what leisure guests would pay on the same Saturday, how Earagail and the Dungloe festival enter the forecast, and whether family rooms earn a summer premium.
I begin by matching the hotel's past weekend occupancy to the Northern Ireland school calendar, which tends to reveal weekends that were full but priced like quiet ones.
Easter and the May bank holiday wake the county up, so I price those weekends high and publish summer weeks early, because families plan their holidays during spring.
Family weeks dominate and festivals such as Earagail and the one in Dungloe add pressure, so I keep changeover days and firm weekly rates.
Closest to Derry, with the Inishowen 100 route and the dark skies at Malin Head; I price these homes for weekend breaks and longer summer stays.
My full Donegal calendar, areas, pricing moves and the mistakes I fix are on the revenue management consultant page for Donegal.
Performance has flattened
RevPAR is stuck while the market around you moves on.
Opening, renovating or rebranding
A new positioning needs a pricing and distribution strategy built from scratch.
An owner wants a second opinion
You need the operator's numbers checked by someone outside the hotel.
You have a team but want a better plan
Someone prices today and wants an audit, a calendar and training.
Tell me about your property, your market and where you think revenue leaks, in the chat or by email. I scope the work and confirm the price before starting.
With read-only access to your PMS, channel manager and extranets I analyse the data, shop your comp set and talk to whoever sets rates today.
A written report and a working session: the gaps ranked by value, the strategy to close them and a 12-month calendar.
Step 4
I can set the strategy up in your systems, train your team and check in monthly, or run it for you as outsourced management.

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 Donegal: June to August. June to August: Family weeks dominate and festivals such as Earagail and the one in Dungloe add pressure, so I keep changeover days and firm weekly rates. 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.
Summer weekly rates, weekend demand from Belfast and Derry, and Ireland's short-term letting registration. For hotel revenue management consulting, I check every recommendation against the Donegal calendar before I make it. September to October: Weekend demand from across the border continues and the October bank holiday adds a final lift, so I move back to short stays and gently lower midweek rates.

Results depend on the property, the starting point and the season, so I do not promise a number. In Donegal the first gains from hotel revenue management consulting usually come from the change with the clearest local signal: load the Northern Ireland July holiday fortnight early, since those dates fill first. I review progress against your own occupancy, ADR and RevPAR, not a market average.

For hotel revenue management consulting, i begin with 12 to 24 months of your own data, so the first findings are about your property in Donegal, not the city. Price Friday and Saturday nights for Derry and Belfast weekenders from spring to autumn. Next: keep winter floors low but bookable for surfers and storm watchers on short breaks.
Dunfanaghy, Gweedore and the north-west: Glenveagh, long beaches and Gaeltacht villages attract families and walkers, so I price summer weeks and keep spring and autumn on short breaks. Bundoran and the south coast and Inishowen and Malin Head get their own treatment.
