Hotel revenue management consulting is an independent review followed by a plan. I look at 12 to 24 months of your own data, shop your comp set, and find where rates, restrictions or channels are costing you money. Unlike outsourcing, I do not make your daily decisions; your team does, with a better plan.
This is my view of Reykjavík. Reykjavík has two peaks: midnight-sun summer and Northern Lights winter. Most guests stay a few nights before or after a Ring Road or Golden Circle trip. Iceland limits home-sharing to 90 days a year for primary residences, and rules for other properties have tightened. I price both peaks and set short stays that fit travel plans.
For a Reykjavík owner I start with the legal status of the property, then build a pricing plan for both peaks: midnight sun and Northern Lights. I set clear targets for each season and decide how to handle stopover guests and early arrivals.
The service in general is described on my hotel revenue management consulting page; this page covers how I apply it in Reykjavík.
A review of the last 12 to 24 months: pricing decisions, rate architecture, restrictions, channel mix and cost, comp-set position, pace and the systems behind them, with every gap ranked by value.
Base rates and floors per room type, BAR levels tied to occupancy and pace, seasonal and event calendars and restrictions, written as a 12-month calendar your team can run.
Which channels to sell on, at what rate and with which promotions, so the mix protects margin: OTAs, corporate, wholesale, metasearch and direct.
A demand forecast, an annual budget, weekly pace reports and a workshop for your team, plus honest advice on revenue systems before you sign for one.

Alaa Elhadi, revenue management consultant. Cornell certified, 18 years in hotel and short-term rental revenue.
Northern Lights tours and the Winter Lights Festival in February bring steady demand; I price weekends highest and accept short stays for travellers heading out on tours.
Snow melts and many roads remain closed, so I lower floors, target stopover guests and offer flexible check-in for early flights from North America.
Midnight sun, Pride and Culture Night with the Reykjavík Marathon create strong demand; I price weekends at the top and keep stays short for Ring Road travellers.
Autumn colours and the first Northern Lights attract couples; I keep rates close to summer early in September and lower them gradually as daylight shortens.
Iceland Airwaves in November and the run-up to New Year's Eve fireworks make this a strong period; I price those dates as premiums and keep minimum stays short.
Price June to August and December to March as the two main seasons.
Add New Year's Eve and Iceland Airwaves as premiums.
Use 2 to 3-night stays that fit stopover and trip plans.
Plan the 90-day home-sharing limit where it applies.
Lower April to May and October to November floors.
Performance has flattened
RevPAR is stuck while the market around you moves on.
Opening, renovating or rebranding
A new positioning needs a pricing and distribution strategy built from scratch.
An owner wants a second opinion
You need the operator's numbers checked by someone outside the hotel.
You have a team but want a better plan
Someone prices today and wants an audit, a calendar and training.
Thirty minutes on your property, your market and where you think revenue leaks. I scope the work and confirm the price before starting.
With read-only access to your PMS, channel manager and extranets I analyse the data, shop your comp set and talk to whoever sets rates today.
A written report and a working session: the gaps ranked by value, the strategy to close them and a 12-month calendar.
Step 4
I can set the strategy up in your systems, train your team and check in monthly, or run it for you as outsourced management.
Every engagement is fixed-scope and fixed-price. After a free discovery call you get the scope and the price in writing before any work starts. Training days and monthly check-ins are quoted separately.

| Audit and roadmap | Audit, ranked gap report, strategy and 12-month calendar | Fixed fee, quoted |

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 hotel revenue management consulting, that is where my audit begins, because a finding here changes every recommendation after it. How the listing handles early check-in and luggage storage, since many guests arrive in the early morning on flights from North America.
Busiest in Reykjavík: June to August (midnight sun) and the Northern Lights season from December to March, with New Year's Eve a spike. November to December: Iceland Airwaves in November and the run-up to New Year's Eve fireworks make this a strong period; I price those dates as premiums and keep minimum stays short. January to March: Northern Lights tours and the Winter Lights Festival in February bring steady demand; I price weekends highest and accept short stays for travellers heading out on tours. For hotel revenue management consulting, my audit tests whether your current rates and restrictions capture these windows, and the 12-month calendar I hand over sets them in advance.
Two seasonal peaks with shoulder floors, stopover-length pricing, and the 90-day home-sharing limit.
