Overview

What is Airbnb revenue forecast in Marrakech?

An Airbnb revenue forecast is a month-by-month projection of occupancy, ADR and revenue for one property, set beside comparable listings. Buyers use it to test a purchase, operators use it to check an arbitrage lease, and hosts use it to set targets for a live listing.

What I plan around in Marrakech: European spring and autumn holidays; Marrakech International Film Festival; Golf tourism; Riad and desert-tour demand. Guests I price for: European couples and families on 3 to 5 night stays in the Medina and Palmeraie. Where I start: Riad positioning by room count and pool, holiday premiums, and summer and Ramadan floors.

I configure Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo so whole-riad and per-room listings share one calendar without clashes. In PriceLabs or Wheelhouse I set Ramadan as a moving season, add the film festival and Easter, and tune occupancy adjustments so a large riad is not discounted just because one room is still free.

The service in general is described on my airbnb revenue forecast page; this page covers how I apply it in Marrakech.

Included

What the forecast contains in Marrakech

Twelve months, three scenarios

I project occupancy, ADR and revenue for each month in conservative, realistic and optimistic cases, with annual totals, RevPAR and seasonality.

  • Monthly occupancy, ADR and revenue
  • Three scenarios
  • RevPAR and annual totals
  • Recommended nightly price bands

A hand-picked comp set

I choose comparable listings by hand and remove inactive ones and outliers, so the benchmark is real and not a postcode average.

  • Comparable listings chosen by hand
  • Inactive listings removed
  • Bedrooms and amenities matched
  • Neighbourhood-level benchmark

Costs, break-even and yield

For a purchase or an arbitrage lease I set revenue against rent or mortgage and costs, and show the occupancy you need to break even.

  • Quiet-month coverage check
  • Purchase and yield testing
  • Several properties compared

A report you can show others

A clear report with my reasoning for each assumption, suitable for partners, investors or lenders.

Consultant's view

Alaa's take on Marrakech

“Marrakech is a riad market. Guests choose by courtyard, pool, rooftop and how many rooms they need, and many book the whole riad for a group. Spring and autumn are best, summer heat and Ramadan are quiet. I price riads by room count and features, and move Ramadan every year.”

How I price it

My Marrakech calendar, and what I do in each period

  1. January to FebruaryShoulder

    Cold Medina nights and short days slow demand, so I keep rates modest, show fireplaces and heated rooms in the photos, and target European half-term weeks for families.

  2. March to MayPeak

    Spring is when riads earn their year, so I raise whole-house rates, set three-night minimums at weekends and treat the Easter fortnight as a premium week.

  3. June to AugustLow

    In the heat I put plunge pools front and centre, lower Medina floors, and accept shorter stays from travellers passing through on their way to the Atlas or the desert.

  4. September to NovemberHigh

    Autumn rebuilds demand, so I hold weekend premiums, check the film festival dates as soon as they are announced, and quote group buy-outs for weddings and birthday trips.

  5. Christmas and New YearPeak

    I price the festive fortnight as the top band, mention any New Year dinner the staff can prepare, and set minimum stays that stop the calendar breaking into single nights.

Where I price differently in Marrakech

Mouassine and Bab Doukkala
Northern Medina quarters near the souks, fountains and galleries; I price them for couples who want character within a short walk of Jemaa el-Fna.
Hivernage and Gueliz
Modern apartments near restaurants and the train station; I price them for short city breaks and business visits and compare them with chain hotels rather than riads.
Agafay and the Ourika road
Villas and desert retreats outside the city that suit groups and celebrations; I price them on total group value and ask for longer stays in spring and autumn.

What I check first in Marrakech

  • Whether the price includes breakfast and daily housekeeping, because riad guests compare total value with boutique hotels and feel misled when staff costs appear as extras at checkout.
  • How easily guests reach the door: whether a taxi can stop nearby or a porter meets them, since Medina alleys confuse arrivals and the first evening shapes the review.
  • Whether the riad is sold both whole and by room, and whether those listings block each other correctly on every channel, because double bookings are a classic riad problem.
