Airbnb revenue management is the ongoing work of pricing every night, setting stay rules, managing channels and reporting results. It goes further than a pricing tool: I review the strategy as demand, events and your own pace change, and I explain every change I make.
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 revenue management page; this page covers how I apply it in Manila.
I review demand and pace and make two or three price changes a week where the market calls for them, inside the tool you already use.
On Plus I also optimize listings, plan promotions, track competitor rates per listing and manage Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo together.
A monthly summary on every plan and a full ADR, occupancy and RevPAR report on Plus and Pro, so you see what changed and why.
On Pro I forecast demand, keep a 12-month pricing calendar, meet you monthly and review quarterly, and I set launch prices for new listings.
“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.”

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.
One listing and no time
You want pricing handled properly without checking the calendar every day.
A growing portfolio
You manage several listings and need one consistent, scalable method.
A property manager
You want owner-ready reporting and revenue leadership without an in-house hire.
Smart Pricing is not enough
Airbnb's own tool optimizes for Airbnb's fill rate, not your revenue across channels.
Send the listing links, your pricing tool and your goals. I confirm the plan level and the monthly price for your listing count.
I build the base, minimum and maximum prices, seasons, events and stay rules for your market before the first month starts.
I watch demand and pace and move prices and restrictions as the market does.
Step 4
You get the monthly report, and on Pro we meet, and I adjust the plan from the results.
Priced monthly by listing count on a graduated curve, so there are no tier cliffs. Plus adds 35 percent and Pro 75 percent to the Core price. Never a percentage of revenue.
| Option | What you get | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Core | Managed pricing, run for you every day | From $225/mo |
| Plus | Pricing plus listing and channel optimization | Core +35% |
| Pro | Full revenue management with a monthly strategy call | Core +75% |

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 Manila: December to May dry season, Holy Week, and Christmas. 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. 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 revenue management, i raise floors and tighten minimum stays ahead of these windows and review pace every week, so the strongest dates never sell early at a shoulder rate.
For Airbnb revenue management, that is the first thing I check before taking on the pricing, because everything else sits on top of it. Whether the Boracay property holds the tourism accreditation required on the island, since unaccredited homes face problems with bookings and arrivals at the jetty port.
Set weekday corporate rates for Makati and BGC condos. Next: price Christmas as a premium for balikbayan family visits. For Airbnb revenue management, i start with base rates, the seasonal calendar and restrictions, because that is where a Manila property usually leaks the most.
For Airbnb revenue management, in the quiet months my job is to protect the floor, close gaps with length-of-stay and last-minute rules, and keep the property visible on every channel. 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 revenue management in Manila, and fixing them is usually the quickest gain.
For Airbnb revenue management in Manila, i manage channel mix, parity and promotions together, so the cheapest route to a booking is not the most expensive one for you. Manila sells mostly through Airbnb, Booking.com and Agoda. 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.
Mactan Island, Cebu: Close to the airport and resorts, it suits families and divers; I price Sinulog week and Holy Week as premiums and reward longer summer stays. Bonifacio Global City (BGC) and Boracay Station 2 get their own treatment. For Airbnb revenue management, i set rates, comp sets and restrictions per area and per room or listing type, not as one citywide number.
Sinulog and festivals, Boracay and Cebu beach season and Balikbayan Christmas travel are the dates I price first for Airbnb revenue management in Manila. 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.

Airbnb revenue management is priced monthly by listing count, from $225 a month for one listing and $325 for two, with Plus at 35 percent more and Pro at 75 percent more than Core. It runs month to month and is never a percentage of revenue. The scope of Airbnb revenue management 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.
