“Medellín is one of Latin America's biggest nomad hubs, and El Poblado and Laureles are crowded with similar apartments. Monthly stays carry much of the year, while Feria de las Flores and the December Alumbrados bring short-stay peaks. Colombia requires registration in the RNT tourism register.”

The moves Alaa makes first when a hotel or host in Medellín books a session, and the errors he corrects most often. Every one is set up inside your own pricing tool, so it keeps working after the call.
Build monthly rates for remote workers.
Price Feria de las Flores and December as short-stay peaks.
Price El Poblado and Laureles separately.
Keep the RNT registration current.

Dry weather and North American winter escapes keep El Poblado busy, so I hold weekends and use monthly terms for remote workers arriving for the season.
Easter brings domestic visitors, then the April and May rains thin leisure travel. I price Holy Week higher and lean on monthly stays through the wet stretch.
Colombiamoda at Plaza Mayor brings buyers and the fashion crowd in July, so I add a premium that week and keep mid-year holiday weekends firm.
Feria de las Flores and the Silleteros parade fill the city, so I price the festival as its own block with a three or four night minimum.
October rains and fewer events make this the quietest stretch, so I set monthly ladders, protect the floor and highlight workspace and internet.
The Alumbrados along the river and family visits lift demand, so I raise December weekends and price Christmas and New Year as premium nights.
One person does the thinking on your account. Choose the kind of help your property in Medellín needs; everything is remote, 1-on-1 and scheduled in your time zone.
For a Medellín apartment I review building rules, how the unit stands out in crowded El Poblado supply and whether monthly or nightly stays fit it best. Then I plan the Feria, Colombiamoda and the Alumbrados as events and set a monthly ladder for the rest of the year.
I set up your Airbnb and Booking.com pricing with a monthly discount ladder for remote workers, event blocks for the Feria and December and a July premium for Colombiamoda. I also tighten titles and photos so the listing stands apart from neighbouring units at the same price.
With my five-star background I help Medellín boutique hotels and aparthotels separate leisure, corporate and event segments, build packages for the Feria and fashion week and set corporate rates for Plaza Mayor conferences that protect weekday occupancy in the rainy months.

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!
Airbnb host
Yes, in the RNT tourism register. Alaa checks it first.
Yes, it is a major nomad hub.
Yes, for about a week each July. The fashion trade fair at Plaza Mayor draws buyers, designers and press, and many book apartments rather than hotels. I add a premium for those dates and favour homes with easy access to the fair and the city centre.
I start with clear positioning: who the unit is for, what it offers that neighbours do not and photos that prove it. Then I price against the closest true rivals, not the whole district, so a better unit earns its rate instead of being dragged down by averages.
Yes. Alaa has optimized 100+ properties in and around Medellín, from single Airbnb listings and small hotels to management companies running hundreds of units. Everything is remote on Zoom, scheduled in Colombia Time (UTC-5).
