Why Amenities Matter More Than Location in Low Season

In shoulder season, strategy matters more than ever.

Here’s how the best property managers stay ahead:
✔️ Know your guest — Are they families? Budget travelers? Remote workers?
✔️ Adjust your OTA strategy — Don’t spread thin, go deep where it counts
✔️ Fix review scores — Now’s the time to rebuild your reputation
✔️ Make small listing tweaks that help with visibility and conversion

Planning for Shoulder Season? Start with Your Guest in Mind

Shoulder season? Struggling to get booked?

Here are 3 things you can do right now using @PriceLabs-DynamicPricing to stay competitive:
1️⃣ Make your occupancy-based adjustments more aggressive
2️⃣ Lower your minimum stay — if you’re at 3 nights and still empty, try 2
3️⃣ Add or fine-tune weekly discounts to attract longer stays

💡 Think like a guest: stay flexible, adjust smartly, and get seen when others don’t.

Shoulder Season? Stay Flexible and Fill Your Calendar

What the Data Says (and What the Experts Do) to Keep Occupancy Strong in Shoulder Season

I made a mistake in my last video — and I want to set things straight.

Airbnb is moving everyone to a 15.5% host-only service fee. To keep your payout the same, you cannot just set your PMS markup to 15.5%. That was my error.

👉 The correct number is +18.34% markup — or simply multiply your nightly prices by 1.1834.

In this video, I’ll walk you through:
• What markup really means (in simple words)
• Case 1: If you were on the old split-fee model (3% host fee + ~14% guest fee) → what you need to do now
• Case 2: If you were already on the 15% host-only fee → what small change you need to make
• The easy step-by-step math that proves 18.34% keeps your payout steady

💡 Takeaway:
To keep your payout the same under Airbnb’s new 15.5% host-only fee, set your markup to +18.34% (multiply your nightly prices by 1.1834).

And stay tuned — in a few weeks, PriceLabs and RSU by PriceLabs will host a webinar to go deeper: how to calculate prices, set markup strategies, factor in cleaning fees, and think about the true cost of distribution across OTAs.

Airbnb Host Fee Change: Set Your Markup to +18.34% (Correction & Clear Math)

Airbnb has moved PMS-connected hosts to a 15.5% host-only fee model, ending the previous split-fee structure where hosts paid 3% and guests paid 14–16%. In this video, I explain four clear reasons behind this change and what it means for property managers and hosts.

You’ll learn:
• Why Airbnb removed the guest service fee
• How this change affects booking conversion
• What it means for price transparency in the U.S.
• How the update impacts hosts globally

If you’re a PMS-connected host in the U.S. or Europe, this video will help you understand what’s changed, why it happened, and how to respond.
