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 Manila: Boracay and Cebu beach season; Balikbayan Christmas travel; Business process outsourcing corporate travel; Sinulog and festivals. Guests I price for: Domestic families and regional travellers on 3 to 5 night stays, corporate guests in Makati and BGC. Where I start: Dry-season premiums, Christmas minimum stays, and condo positioning in Makati and BGC.
On Airbnb, Agoda and Booking.com I configure PriceLabs or Wheelhouse with Holy Week and Christmas overrides, rainy-season floors and monthly discounts for corporate guests in BGC and Makati, keeping rates, fees and minimum stays aligned across every channel so no listing undercuts another during Holy Week or Christmas.
The service in general is described on my airbnb pricing strategy page; this page covers how I apply it in Manila.
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.
“The Philippines needs three strategies under one heading. Makati and BGC condos serve corporate and outsourcing travel on weekdays, Boracay and Cebu sell dry-season beach holidays, and Christmas brings Filipinos home from abroad. Boracay also manages visitor numbers carefully since its rehabilitation, so accredited properties have an edge.”
Alaa Elhadi, revenue management consultant. Cornell certified, 18 years in hotel and short-term rental revenue.
Sinulog in Cebu and Ati-Atihan in Kalibo near Boracay create festival weeks, so I price those dates as premiums and keep the rest of the dry season steady.
Summer school break and Holy Week bring domestic families to the beaches; I lift Boracay and Cebu rates sharply and set three-night minimums across the Easter long weekend.
Typhoons and rain slow leisure travel, so I keep beach floors sensible and lean on Makati and BGC corporate stays, which hold up better through the wet months.
Thirteenth-month pay, school breaks and balikbayan visits make Christmas the year's high point. I open December early, protect New Year with longer minimums and limit last-minute deals.
Set weekday corporate rates for Makati and BGC condos.
Price December to May beach season in Boracay and Cebu, with Holy Week highest.
Price Christmas as a premium for balikbayan family visits.
Confirm accreditation requirements on Boracay.
Lower rainy-season floors from June to October.

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!

For Airbnb pricing strategy, the first changes are base and minimum prices and the seasonal profile, since those drive most of the revenue in Manila. Lower rainy-season floors from June to October. Next: price December to May beach season in Boracay and Cebu, with Holy Week highest.
Busiest in Manila: December to May dry season, Holy Week, and Christmas. March to May: Summer school break and Holy Week bring domestic families to the beaches; I lift Boracay and Cebu rates sharply and set three-night minimums across the Easter long weekend. November to December: Thirteenth-month pay, school breaks and balikbayan visits make Christmas the year's high point. I open December early, protect New Year with longer minimums and limit last-minute deals. 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 Manila: June to October rainy season. June to October: Typhoons and rain slow leisure travel, so I keep beach floors sensible and lean on Makati and BGC corporate stays, which hold up better through the wet months.
Manila condos priced like beach homes and holy Week underpriced. I look for these first when I review Airbnb pricing strategy in Manila, 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 Manila behave differently. Boracay Station 2: The busiest stretch with dining and nightlife; I set firm dry-season rates and price beachfront access above inland walking distance. Bonifacio Global City (BGC) and Mactan Island, Cebu get their own treatment.
Business process outsourcing corporate travel, Sinulog and festivals and Boracay and Cebu beach season are the dates I price first for Airbnb pricing strategy in Manila. January to February: Sinulog in Cebu and Ati-Atihan in Kalibo near Boracay create festival weeks, so I price those dates as premiums and keep the rest of the dry season steady.
For Airbnb pricing strategy in Manila, each channel gets its own markup, so the net rate you receive is the same wherever the booking comes from. Manila sells mostly through Airbnb, Booking.com and Agoda. January to February: Sinulog in Cebu and Ati-Atihan in Kalibo near Boracay create festival weeks, so I price those dates as premiums and keep the rest of the dry season steady.
How the condo building in Makati or BGC treats short-stay guests, because some associations restrict them, and a guest turned away at reception damages the listing for months. 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.
PriceLabs and Wheelhouse strategy sessions are one-time and priced by listing count: $125 for up to 2 listings, $250 for 3 to 6, $370 for 7 to 10 and $480 for 11 to 15, with larger portfolios priced per listing. Revenuenaire Dynamic Pricing software is from $17.99 per listing per month. The scope of Airbnb pricing strategy is the same in every market, but the plan is not: in Manila I would start from January to February: Sinulog in Cebu and Ati-Atihan in Kalibo near Boracay create festival weeks, so I price those dates as premiums and keep the rest of the dry season steady. To start, open the chat or email me with your property type and size in Manila.
Results depend on the property, the starting point and the season, so I do not promise a number. In Manila the first gains from Airbnb pricing strategy usually come from the change with the clearest local signal: lower rainy-season floors from June to October. I review progress against your own occupancy, ADR and RevPAR, not a market average.
