Airbnb listing optimization is the work I do to make a property rank, convert and price correctly on Airbnb. I rewrite the title and description around how guests search, choose and order photos, and tune amenities and booking settings so Airbnb ranks the listing higher.
What I plan around in Lombok: Bali overflow and surf season in Kuta Lombok; Gili island travel; MotoGP at Mandalika; Diving and Rinjani trekking. Guests I price for: European and Australian travellers on 4 to 7 night stays. Where I start: Dry-season premiums, event weeks, and rainy-season floors.
Lombok sells mostly through Airbnb, Booking.com and Agoda. On Airbnb, Booking.com and Agoda I set up PriceLabs or Wheelhouse with dry-season bands, MotoGP premiums and rainy-season floors, and I make sure the listing explains boats, roads and transfers, because clear access information often decides whether guests book four nights or seven.
The service in general is described on my airbnb listing optimization page; this page covers how I apply it in Lombok.
Airbnb reads your title, summary and details to decide which searches you appear in. I research how guests in your market search and write to match.
Guests decide in seconds. I pick the cover that wins the click, order the gallery as a story and caption the features guests care about.
Missing amenities cost filters and strict rules cost conversion. I audit every toggle and set the combination that converts without adding risk.
Ratings, response and acceptance rates and review recency all feed ranking. I set up review requests and reply templates so those signals keep improving.
“Lombok is growing as a calmer alternative to Bali, with surf in Kuta Lombok, the Gili Islands and the Mandalika MotoGP circuit. MotoGP weekend is the standout event. Guests stay four to seven nights and often combine several areas. Access between the Gilis, Kuta Lombok and the airport takes planning, so clear travel information helps guests commit to longer stays.”
Alaa Elhadi, revenue management consultant. Cornell certified, 18 years in hotel and short-term rental revenue.
Rain and rough crossings to the Gilis slow travel, so I lower floors, offer longer stay value for surfers and remote workers, and keep cancellation terms flexible.
Dry weather returns and Rinjani trekking reopens, so I raise rates step by step and target couples combining Lombok with a Bali trip.
European summer holidays and surf season fill Kuta Lombok and the Gilis, so I set four or five night minimums and stop discounting early.
MotoGP weekend at Mandalika is the top event, so I price it far above surrounding dates and keep the rest of the period strong for divers and surfers.
Christmas and New Year bring Australians and Europeans, so I price the holiday week as a premium with longer minimums, especially on Gili Trawangan.
A listing that ranks but is priced badly wastes the visibility, and a well-priced listing nobody sees earns nothing. I optimize the listing for search and conversion first, then tune the pricing around the traffic it earns.
Price MotoGP Mandalika weekend as the top band.
Price July to August and December to January as main seasons.
Price Gili Islands homes around boat access.
Target surfers in Kuta Lombok.
Lower February and March floors.
A new Airbnb listing
You have just connected Airbnb 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 Airbnb.
Commission without much return
You pay Airbnb commission and its share of bookings is small next to your other channels.
A portfolio with uneven quality
Some listings are polished on Airbnb and others were never finished, and nobody owns the standard.
Send me the Airbnb listing or property links and your channel manager. I check how the property ranks and reads today before we speak.
A scorecard for Airbnb: content, photos, rates and promotions, policies and reviews, with every fix ranked by impact.
I make the changes live on Zoom in your Airbnb account or through your channel manager, and explain each one so you can maintain it.
Step 4
About 30 days later I look at impressions, conversion and booking share on Airbnb and adjust what the numbers say to adjust.
I quote Airbnb optimization per property after a short chat. You get a fixed scope and price before any work starts.
| Option | What you get | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Single property | Airbnb optimization for one property | Quoted |
| Several properties | One scope and one price for a group on Airbnb | Quoted |
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!

Gili Air and Gili Meno: Quieter islands for couples and honeymooners; I price above Trawangan for privacy and protect rates in the dry season.

For Airbnb listing optimization, the first changes on Airbnb are content completeness and the cover photo, because those decide whether a Lombok traveler clicks. Price MotoGP Mandalika weekend as the top band. Next: price Gili Islands homes around boat access.
Whether the MotoGP dates are loaded as soon as they are confirmed, since rooms around Mandalika sell out early and cheap early bookings lock in lost value. For Airbnb listing optimization, i check this on Airbnb first, because it decides whether the listing is allowed to rank at all.
For Airbnb listing optimization in Lombok, this is how I would approach it. com and Agoda I set up PriceLabs or Wheelhouse with dry-season bands, MotoGP premiums and rainy-season floors, and I make sure the listing explains boats, roads and transfers, because clear access information often decides whether guests book four nights or seven.
