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 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.
I set up your pricing with Christmas, New Year, each regional school-holiday window and summer hiking weeks as separate bands. Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo and Expedia then share the same minimum stays and fees, so the calendar fills with the right length of stay.
The service in general is described on my airbnb pricing strategy page; this page covers how I apply it in Zakopane.
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.
“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.

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.

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 Zakopane. Set shoulder floors. Next: add the ski-jump World Cup weekend.
Busiest in Zakopane: December to February for skiing and the festive weeks, and July and August for Tatra hiking. Mid-January to February (ferie zimowe): 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. July to August: 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. 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 Zakopane: April and November between the seasons. September to mid-December: 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. March to April: Late snow and Easter bring some demand, so I price Easter and sunny ski weekends higher and accept shorter stays during the quieter weeks.
Holiday weeks underpriced and summer ignored. I look for these first when I review Airbnb pricing strategy in Zakopane, 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 Zakopane behave differently. Kościelisko: A quieter village west of the centre with views of the Tatras; I price it for families who want space and calm, with week-long stays. Krupówki and the centre and Near Gubałówka and the Wielka Krokiew get their own treatment.
the Morskie Oko lake and Podhale Goral mountain culture, the shops and grilled oscypek cheese along Krupowki street and skiing and the FIS ski-jump World Cup at the Wielka Krokiew are the dates I price first for Airbnb pricing strategy in Zakopane. July to August: 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.
For Airbnb pricing strategy in Zakopane, each channel gets its own markup, so the net rate you receive is the same wherever the booking comes from. Zakopane sells mostly through Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo and Expedia. July to August: 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.
How the listing handles parking and the road from Kraków, since many guests arrive by car on the busy Zakopianka and value a guaranteed space near the centre. 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 Zakopane I would start from late December to early January: 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. To start, open the chat or email me with your property type and size in Zakopane.
Results depend on the property, the starting point and the season, so I do not promise a number. In Zakopane the first gains from Airbnb pricing strategy usually come from the change with the clearest local signal: set shoulder floors. I review progress against your own occupancy, ADR and RevPAR, not a market average.
