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 Montevideo: Argentine and Brazilian summer travel; Punta del Este New Year season; Carnival; José Ignacio luxury demand. Guests I price for: Argentine and Brazilian families on weekly and fortnightly summer stays. Where I start: Fortnightly summer pricing in Punta, New Year premiums, and long off-season floors.
I set up your pricing tool with fortnightly summer pricing, a New Year premium, fixed changeover days and long off-season monthly rates, keeping Airbnb and Booking.com aligned on currency, taxes and cancellation terms, so Argentine and Brazilian families see the same total on both.
The service in general is described on my airbnb pricing strategy page; this page covers how I apply it in Montevideo.
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.
“Punta del Este is one of the most seasonal markets in the Americas. Argentine and Brazilian families rent for a week or two from late December to February, New Year is the top week and the rest of the year is very quiet. Montevideo is steadier, with Carnival.”
Alaa Elhadi, revenue management consultant. Cornell certified, 18 years in hotel and short-term rental revenue.
New Year week and the first half of January carry the highest rates in Punta, with weekly or fortnightly minimums and fixed changeover days.
Argentine and Brazilian families keep homes full, so I price by fortnight and avoid splitting weeks, while Montevideo's long Carnival keeps city weekends busy.
Uruguay's Easter week brings domestic travellers and some Argentines back to the coast, so I price that week as its own short season and keep the rest of autumn modest.
Punta goes quiet, so I set long-stay and monthly rates for remote workers and residents, while Montevideo keeps steady business demand in Pocitos and Ciudad Vieja.
Long weekends and early spring visitors return, so I open summer rates early and protect New Year and January weeks before short bookings fill them.

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 Montevideo. Offer low off-season floors. Next: price New Year as the top band.
Busiest in Montevideo: Late December to February in Punta del Este, and Carnival in Montevideo. Late December to mid-January: New Year week and the first half of January carry the highest rates in Punta, with weekly or fortnightly minimums and fixed changeover days. Mid-January to February: Argentine and Brazilian families keep homes full, so I price by fortnight and avoid splitting weeks, while Montevideo's long Carnival keeps city weekends busy. 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 Montevideo: May to September in Punta del Este. October to mid-December: Long weekends and early spring visitors return, so I open summer rates early and protect New Year and January weeks before short bookings fill them. March to April (Semana de Turismo): Uruguay's Easter week brings domestic travellers and some Argentines back to the coast, so I price that week as its own short season and keep the rest of autumn modest.
Short stays in peak and josé Ignacio priced like Punta. I look for these first when I review Airbnb pricing strategy in Montevideo, 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 Montevideo behave differently. La Península, Punta del Este: The old town with the port and restaurants; I price apartments by sea view and walkability, competing with hotels for shorter summer stays. La Barra and Manantiales and Pocitos, Montevideo get their own treatment.
Carnival, José Ignacio luxury demand and Argentine and Brazilian summer travel are the dates I price first for Airbnb pricing strategy in Montevideo. Mid-January to February: Argentine and Brazilian families keep homes full, so I price by fortnight and avoid splitting weeks, while Montevideo's long Carnival keeps city weekends busy.
For Airbnb pricing strategy in Montevideo, each channel gets its own markup, so the net rate you receive is the same wherever the booking comes from. Montevideo sells mostly through Airbnb and Booking.com. Mid-January to February: Argentine and Brazilian families keep homes full, so I price by fortnight and avoid splitting weeks, while Montevideo's long Carnival keeps city weekends busy.
How exchange-rate swings in Argentina affect the booking pace, since Argentine demand can move quickly when their currency changes and the calendar needs to react. 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 Montevideo I would start from late December to mid-January: New Year week and the first half of January carry the highest rates in Punta, with weekly or fortnightly minimums and fixed changeover days. To start, open the chat or email me with your property type and size in Montevideo.
Results depend on the property, the starting point and the season, so I do not promise a number. In Montevideo the first gains from Airbnb pricing strategy usually come from the change with the clearest local signal: offer low off-season floors. I review progress against your own occupancy, ADR and RevPAR, not a market average.
