Alaa Elhadi, an independent revenue management consultant, provides Airbnb listing optimization for Airbnb hosts, vacation rental owners and property managers in St. Moritz, Switzerland, one to one, remotely and in Central European Time (UTC+1). In St. Moritz, I price Late December to early January and Mid-January to February as the peak and April to June and October to November as the quiet time, and I build the work around that calendar. Airbnb optimization is quoted per property after a short chat, because the scope depends on the number of properties and room types.

Airbnb listing optimization is the work I do to make a property rank, convert and price correctly on Airbnb. I rewrite the title and description around how guests search, choose and order photos, and tune amenities and booking settings so Airbnb ranks the listing higher.
What I plan around in St. Moritz: White Turf horse racing on the frozen lake each February; snow polo and the historic Cresta Run toboggan track; the Engadin Skimarathon and the Corvatsch slopes each March; the Bernina Express and high-altitude Engadin summer hiking. Guests I price for: Affluent international skiers and long-stay chalet parties in winter, plus summer hikers and wellness guests around St. Moritz, Pontresina and Celerina. Where I start: Pricing a premium luxury market where winter and marquee events command the highest rates, sustaining a real summer season, and observing Lex Koller ownership limits and local tourist tax.
St. Moritz sells mostly through Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo and Expedia. I configure PriceLabs or Wheelhouse for St. Moritz hosts with White Turf, Snow Polo, the Gourmet Festival and the Skimarathon as events, weekly stays at Christmas and summer family rules. Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo and Expedia show the same total, including tourist tax.
The service in general is described on my airbnb listing optimization page; this page covers how I apply it in St. Moritz.
Airbnb reads your title, summary and details to decide which searches you appear in. I research how guests in your market search and write to match.
Guests decide in seconds. I pick the cover that wins the click, order the gallery as a story and caption the features guests care about.
Missing amenities cost filters and strict rules cost conversion. I audit every toggle and set the combination that converts without adding risk.
Ratings, response and acceptance rates and review recency all feed ranking. I set up review requests and reply templates so those signals keep improving.
“St. Moritz is a luxury winter market with marquee events: White Turf on the frozen lake in February, snow polo and the Engadin Skimarathon. Affluent guests book long chalet stays, and summer is a real second season. Pricing has to match the luxury positioning.”
Alaa Elhadi, revenue management consultant. Cornell certified, 18 years in hotel and short-term rental revenue.
The holiday fortnight sells first and at the highest rate. I hold weekly stays for chalets and stop any discounting, even if dates look open in early December.
Snow Polo, the Gourmet Festival and the three White Turf Sundays keep weekends strong; I price each event weekend individually and keep midweek nights firm for longer ski stays.
The Engadin Skimarathon weekend and spring skiing on Corvatsch bring long stays. I price the marathon weekend above the rest of March and ease rates after Easter.
Many hotels and shops close, so I keep a dignified floor, accept longer stays and avoid heavy discounts that clash with luxury positioning.
Hiking, kitesurfing at Silvaplana and the jazz festival make a real summer season. I sell weekly stays for families and price lake and mountain views well.
The valley shuts down, so I keep floors steady and focus on long stays and repeat guests rather than chasing short bookings.
A listing that ranks but is priced badly wastes the visibility, and a well-priced listing nobody sees earns nothing. I optimize the listing for search and conversion first, then tune the pricing around the traffic it earns.
Price White Turf and snow polo weekends as premiums.
Price Christmas to New Year as the top band.
Use long stays for chalets.
Build a summer hiking and wellness season.
Include local tourist tax.
A new Airbnb listing
You have just connected Airbnb and want it to rank and convert from the first weeks, not after months of guessing.
Views but few bookings
Visibility looks fine and conversion does not, which usually means content, photos or rate plans on Airbnb.
Commission without much return
You pay Airbnb commission and its share of bookings is small next to your other channels.
A portfolio with uneven quality
Some listings are polished on Airbnb and others were never finished, and nobody owns the standard.
Send me the Airbnb listing or property links and your channel manager. I check how the property ranks and reads today before we speak.
A scorecard for Airbnb: content, photos, rates and promotions, policies and reviews, with every fix ranked by impact.
I make the changes live on Zoom in your Airbnb account or through your channel manager, and explain each one so you can maintain it.
Step 4
About 30 days later I look at impressions, conversion and booking share on Airbnb and adjust what the numbers say to adjust.
I quote Airbnb optimization per property after a short chat. You get a fixed scope and price before any work starts.
| Option | What you get | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Single property | Airbnb optimization for one property | Quoted |
| Several properties | One scope and one price for a group on Airbnb | 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!
