Explore practical Pricing and Revenue guides for vacation rental hosts and property managers.
A mobile-only rate is one of the easiest discounts to switch on and one of the easiest to regret. This guide covers the four checks that keep it a tool rather than a slow leak: where the discount is created, how it stacks, and how to verify all three views.
A visibility programme trades a standing discount for placement. On some channels that placement is no longer guaranteed, so the discount can outlive the benefit. This guide costs the opt-in before you renew.
Commission is the cost hosts compare. Processing, currency conversion and payout timing sit beneath it and never reach the comparison table. This guide totals them so a channel decision rests on real numbers.
A payout that disagrees with your records is rarely one error. This guide works through why statements diverge, what to send the platform when it is genuinely wrong, and a month-end routine that catches drift before it becomes a dispute.
Hosts compare commission percentages, but the base the percentage is applied to decides what you keep. This guide compares what counts toward commission, what sits below the headline rate, and how to build a net-per-night figure.
The listed rate is a gross number, not your income: commission, processing, currency and tax each take a cut before the net reaches you. This guide works backwards from net payout to set a floor that protects each channel.
With no reviews you are not competing on reputation, you are competing on clarity and price. This guide builds your launch price from three numbers and walks the rate up across four weeks instead of leaving it at a discount.
Your listing is live with zero reviews, and the empty calendar feels louder than any rating would. A launch discount can work, but it is a purchase rather than a favour: this guide covers what it buys, the arithmetic of climbing back up, and how to cap it.
A 20% promotion plus a 15% campaign plus a 10% member coupon is not 45% off. It is a deeper cut, and most hosts notice only after the payout arrives. This guide audits the four discount layers and sets a hard floor before anything goes live.
A host with three villas near Canggu kept the calendar full for six straight months and still finished the year short. This guide covers revenue management without hotel jargon: find your break-even night, set one base rate, flex it lightly, track a few numbers.
