Agoda optimization for hotels is the work I do to make a property rank, convert and price correctly on Agoda. I complete your property and room content in YCS, set promotions, secret deals and rate channels, and manage the signals Agoda ranks on.
What I plan around in Zakopane: skiing and the FIS ski-jump World Cup at the Wielka Krokiew; the Tatra peaks, the Gubalowka ridge and the Kasprowy Wierch cable car; the Morskie Oko lake and Podhale Goral mountain culture; the shops and grilled oscypek cheese along Krupowki street. Guests I price for: Polish and central-European families and groups on week-long winter-ski and summer-hiking stays, concentrated near Krupowki and the trailheads. Where I start: Running a dual ski-and-hike season with sharp Christmas, New Year and school-holiday premiums, floor-pricing the two shoulders in Poland's busiest mountain resort.
Zakopane sells mostly through Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo and Expedia. Zakopane hotels and guesthouses balance families, groups, ski packages and summer hikers. With my five-star hotel background I help them plan holiday allotments, set package prices for ski and spa stays, and protect peak weeks for direct bookings rather than releasing everything early to operators.
The service in general is described on my agoda optimization page; this page covers how I apply it in Zakopane.
Agoda favours complete room and property content. I fill every field, rewrite descriptions for its travelers and fix room mapping errors.
I choose the cover and order the gallery so the result card wins the click against nearby hotels.
Agoda rewards well-used promotions. I set campaigns, secret deals and rate channels where they pay, and keep prices in line with your other channels.
Review scores and response behaviour feed ranking. I set up review requests and replies, and diagnose why scores slip.
“Zakopane is Poland's busiest mountain resort, with ski season, festive weeks and summer Tatra hiking. Polish families and groups stay a week, and the ski-jump World Cup adds a winter spike. I run a dual season with sharp holiday premiums.”
Alaa Elhadi, revenue management consultant. Cornell certified, 18 years in hotel and short-term rental revenue.
Christmas, New Year's Eve and the start of the ski season fill every chalet, so I price the whole period as one block with week-long minimums and no late discounts.
Polish winter school holidays are staggered by region over several weeks, so I load each regional window and keep week-long stays for families who book well ahead.
Late snow and Easter bring some demand, so I price Easter and sunny ski weekends higher and accept shorter stays during the quieter weeks.
The May long weekend and Corpus Christi fill quickly with hikers, so I price those holidays individually and keep ordinary weekdays close to the floor.
Tatra hiking season and summer holidays fill the town again, so I price for week-long family stays and keep a premium on homes close to the trailheads.
Autumn colours bring some hikers in September, then November is quiet, so I set a careful floor and offer weekend breaks with the Bukowina thermal baths in mind.
Agoda is strongest in Asia-Pacific and growing elsewhere, and its travelers respond to complete content and well-used promotions. Hotels that copy a Booking.com profile across rarely rank well, so I rebuild the Agoda profile for the people who actually search there.
Price Christmas, New Year and school holidays as top bands.
Add the ski-jump World Cup weekend.
Price July and August hiking weeks.
Price homes near Krupówki and trailheads higher.
Set shoulder floors.
A new Agoda listing
You have just connected Agoda 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 Agoda.
Commission without much return
You pay Agoda commission and its share of bookings is small next to your other channels.
A portfolio with uneven quality
Some listings are polished on Agoda and others were never finished, and nobody owns the standard.
Send me the Agoda listing or property links and your channel manager. I check how the property ranks and reads today before we speak.
A scorecard for Agoda: content, photos, rates and promotions, policies and reviews, with every fix ranked by impact.
I make the changes live on Zoom in your Agoda 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 Agoda and adjust what the numbers say to adjust.
I quote Agoda 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 | Agoda optimization for one property | Quoted |
| Several properties | One scope and one price for a group on Agoda | Quoted |
Real feedback from PriceLabs pricing strategy sessions with Alaa.

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!
