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 The Dordogne: Sarlat and the castles of the Dordogne valley; Lascaux and the prehistoric caves of the Vézère; Canoeing and village markets; British second-home and gîte tradition. Guests I price for: British, Dutch and French families on weekly gîte and villa stays with pools. Where I start: Saturday-to-Saturday summer weeks, pool premiums and shoulder floors.
I set up the pricing tool with Saturday changeovers in summer, short stays in the shoulders, higher rates for holiday overlap weeks and a firm floor. Calendars on Gîtes de France and Abritel are synced so weekly guests see the same prices everywhere.
The service in general is described on my airbnb pricing strategy page; this page covers how I apply it in The Dordogne.
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 set up PriceLabs or Wheelhouse for a Dordogne gîte, I add the weeks where French, Dutch and Belgian school holidays overlap as the top band, set Saturday changeovers in July and August, and allow three-night stays in June and September. Pool heating, if any, becomes a reason to raise May and October floors.
In our first session I enter the main European school holiday dates and set separate minimum stays for summer and the shoulders.
Warm days, wine harvest around Bergerac and walnut season attract couples. I keep weekly rates firm in September and ease in October with short breaks.
Truffle markets and Christmas bring a few visitors, but demand is thin. I keep low floors, accept short stays and use the season for upkeep and next summer's pricing.
The busiest part, with Sarlat's market and the castles of the valley. I price highest here and expect full weeks through the summer.

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.

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 The Dordogne. Watch Dutch and Belgian school holidays as well as French ones. Next: price a heated or large pool as its own premium.
Busiest in The Dordogne: July and August, with June and September strong for couples. June: Couples and retirees come for markets, canoeing and quiet castles. I offer three or four-night stays at good rates and avoid discounts that would undersell the month. July to August: Families fill the gîtes. I hold Saturday changeovers, price the weeks of French and Dutch holiday overlap highest and watch bookings week by week. 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 The Dordogne: November to March. September to October: Warm days, wine harvest around Bergerac and walnut season attract couples. I keep weekly rates firm in September and ease in October with short breaks. November to March: Truffle markets and Christmas bring a few visitors, but demand is thin. I keep low floors, accept short stays and use the season for upkeep and next summer's pricing.
August weeks broken up by short stays and pools not priced as a feature. I look for these first when I review Airbnb pricing strategy in The Dordogne, 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 The Dordogne behave differently. Vézère valley: Lascaux, Les Eyzies and the cave sites draw families and couples. I price for weeks in summer and shorter cultural stays in spring and autumn. Sarlat and the Périgord Noir and Bergerac and the Périgord Pourpre get their own treatment.
Canoeing and village markets, British second-home and gîte tradition and Sarlat and the castles of the Dordogne valley are the dates I price first for Airbnb pricing strategy in The Dordogne. April to May: Easter, the May bridges and walking groups wake the valley. I price long weekends well and keep weekly rates moderate to tempt early-season families.
For Airbnb pricing strategy in The Dordogne, each channel gets its own markup, so the net rate you receive is the same wherever the booking comes from. The Dordogne sells mostly through Booking.com, Airbnb, Abritel/Vrbo and Gîtes de France. April to May: Easter, the May bridges and walking groups wake the valley. I price long weekends well and keep weekly rates moderate to tempt early-season families.
How the property is classified and whether the taxe de séjour is collected correctly on every channel, including Gîtes de France and Abritel, which many owners forget. 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.

The scope of Airbnb pricing strategy is the same in every market, but the plan is not: in The Dordogne I would start from June: Couples and retirees come for markets, canoeing and quiet castles. I offer three or four-night stays at good rates and avoid discounts that would undersell the month. To start, open the chat or email me with your property type and size in The Dordogne.
Results depend on the property, the starting point and the season, so I do not promise a number.
