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 Matera: Sassi di Matera cave dwellings; film-location tourism from No Time to Die and The Passion of the Christ; Festa della Madonna della Bruna; UNESCO rupestrian churches. Guests I price for: couples and experience-seeking travellers on 2 to 3 night stays inside the cave districts of Sasso Caveoso and Sasso Barisano. Where I start: premium cave-stay positioning, a shoulder-heavy calendar that avoids the August heat, and Basilicata regional coding plus national CIN.
I set up your Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo pricing so restored caves sit in their own premium band, two-night minimums apply where they make sense, and the Basilicata code and CIN show on every listing, with stair and access details written clearly to protect reviews.
The service in general is described on my airbnb revenue management page; this page covers how I apply it in Matera.
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.
“Matera sells cave stays inside the Sassi, boosted by film tourism from No Time to Die. Guests stay two or three nights and pay for the experience. Spring and autumn are best, August heat and winter are weaker. The Sassi are steep and some cave homes are hard to reach with luggage, so honest listing details and fair pricing for access avoid disappointed guests and poor reviews.”
Alaa Elhadi, revenue management consultant. Cornell certified, 18 years in hotel and short-term rental revenue.
Winter visitors come in small numbers for quiet Sassi walks, so I keep cave stays at a protected floor and add midweek offers rather than cutting weekends that still sell.
Spring is Matera at its best, so I open these dates early with confident rates and allow two-night stays only when they follow or precede another booking.
The 2 July procession and the storming of the cart fill the old town, so I price the nights around it as a small premium block with a two-night minimum.
Heat in the ravine thins daytime sightseeing, so I keep rates steady but competitive and highlight cool cave interiors, which is a genuine selling point at this time of year.
September and October behave like spring, so I hold firm, then ease November weekdays and price the Christmas period on its own because the Sassi draw seasonal visitors.
Price cave stays as a premium product.
Price April to June and September to October as main seasons.
Add Festa della Bruna in early July.
Use 2-night minimums.

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 Matera: April to June and September to October, with the Festa della Bruna in early July. September to December: September and October behave like spring, so I hold firm, then ease November weekdays and price the Christmas period on its own because the Sassi draw seasonal visitors. April to June: Spring is Matera at its best, so I open these dates early with confident rates and allow two-night stays only when they follow or precede another booking. 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. How many steps lie between the nearest car drop-off and the door, because this single fact drives more complaints in the Sassi than any price, and it belongs in the listing title area.
Price cave stays as a premium product. Next: add Festa della Bruna in early July. For Airbnb revenue management, i start with base rates, the seasonal calendar and restrictions, because that is where a Matera 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 Matera: August heat and the depth of winter. Mid-July to August: Heat in the ravine thins daytime sightseeing, so I keep rates steady but competitive and highlight cool cave interiors, which is a genuine selling point at this time of year. January to March: Winter visitors come in small numbers for quiet Sassi walks, so I keep cave stays at a protected floor and add midweek offers rather than cutting weekends that still sell.
Cave stays priced like ordinary rooms and august priced as peak. I look for these first when I review Airbnb revenue management in Matera, and fixing them is usually the quickest gain.
For Airbnb revenue management in Matera, i manage channel mix, parity and promotions together, so the cheapest route to a booking is not the most expensive one for you. Matera sells mostly through Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo. September to December: September and October behave like spring, so I hold firm, then ease November weekdays and price the Christmas period on its own because the Sassi draw seasonal visitors.
The Piano (upper town): Ordinary flats near Via Ridola and Piazza Vittorio Veneto with easy parking; I price them as the practical choice for families and longer stays, not as cave stays. Sasso Caveoso and Sasso Barisano 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.
UNESCO rupestrian churches, Sassi di Matera cave dwellings and film-location tourism from No Time to Die and The Passion of the Christ are the dates I price first for Airbnb revenue management in Matera. Early July (Festa della Bruna): The 2 July procession and the storming of the cart fill the old town, so I price the nights around it as a small premium block with a two-night minimum.
