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 The Dordogne. The Dordogne is the classic gîte holiday: British, Dutch and French families on Saturday-to-Saturday weeks in stone houses with pools, close to Sarlat, the castles of the valley and the caves of the Vézère. June and September belong to couples. I price the pool, the view and the walk to a village, and I protect July and August weeks from short stays.
With a Dordogne owner I review the last few summers by week, look at pool and location against real neighbours, and set a plan for summer weeks, June and September couples and the winter. I also check channels, classification and tax collection.
The service in general is described on my hotel revenue management consulting page; this page covers how I apply it in The Dordogne.
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.
Many Dordogne hotels and logis are family run and price from tradition, with the same rate from June to September. I review whether that still fits a valley where July and August can carry much higher rates while early June and late September need a different offer. I also look at restaurant-led packages, tour group contracts and the closing dates of the winter break.
My first step is to compare the hotel's rates for a July Saturday, a June midweek night and an October weekend with four named hotels around Sarlat and the Vézère.
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.
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.
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.
My full The Dordogne calendar, areas, pricing moves and the mistakes I fix are on the revenue management consultant page for The Dordogne.
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.
Every engagement is fixed-scope and fixed-price. After a free scoping chat you get the scope and the price in writing before any work starts. Training days and monthly check-ins are quoted separately.

Real feedback from PriceLabs pricing strategy sessions with Alaa.
Alaa is a consummate professional! Patient, thorough, efficient and effective in communicating.

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 hotel revenue management consulting, that is where my audit begins, because a finding here changes every recommendation after it. 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.
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.

Results depend on the property, the starting point and the season, so I do not promise a number.

I review progress against your own occupancy, ADR and RevPAR, not a market average.
