Pricing: Your Charging Stations, Our Customized Solutions

You set the minimum price, the maximum price, and the minimum length of stay. A tool adjusts these parameters day by day within those limits, based on actual demand.

How much does a night at your short-term rental in Toulon cost? The answer changes every day: a Tuesday in November isn’t the same as a Saturday in August, and a festival weekend isn’t the same as the following weekend. Dynamic pricing involves tracking actual demand rather than charging a single price all year round.

But entrusting your property to a property management service doesn’t mean you lose control over how it’s marketed. Who sets the price per night? Who accepts or declines a reservation? Who enables instant booking? The division of decision-making responsibilities is clearly outlined in your contract, and this page details it point by point.

The system is based on parameters. You set the parameters: a minimum price below which your vacation rental will never be rented, a maximum price, and a minimum stay. Within these parameters, the tool adjusts to maximize your income. Outside of these parameters, nothing changes without your approval.

How Does Dynamic Pricing Work?

The pricing tool continuously monitors demand in the area, occupancy rates for comparable properties, seasonality, days of the week, and local events. It suggests a price per night that varies from day to day, always within the range you’ve set. Each suggestion to adjust the price range itself is accompanied by an explanation: you always know why we’re suggesting it.

The occupancy rate is not the goal

A high occupancy rate isn't a goal in and of itself: at €20 a night, you'll always fill the rooms. Instead, compare these two scenarios over the course of a month:

Screenplay
Occupation
Average price
Revenue over 30 nights
A
90 %
70 €
1 890 €
B
65 %
120 €
2 340 €

Scenario B generates higher revenue with fewer turnarounds, which means fewer housekeeping tasks, less wear and tear, and less risk. It’s the revenue per available room night that counts, not just the occupancy rate.

Good to Know

The minimum stay requirement is a powerful tool: a minimum of three nights during peak season reduces turnover and housekeeping costs; accepting a one-night stay during the off-season helps fill gaps.

The Mistake to Avoid

Wait until June to set summer prices. Prices need to be worked out months in advance: any last-minute adjustments come after forward-thinking travelers have already booked elsewhere.

Why Do You Get to Decide?

This isn’t just a stylistic precaution. It’s what sets our service apart from traditional property management: we carry out the strategy you establish; we don’t make decisions on your behalf regarding the marketing of your property. This approach permeates the entire contract, from its legal structure to the decision-making process in the event of an incident.

Points to Watch For
Warning

We do not guarantee occupancy rates, revenue levels, or rankings on platforms: we are bound by an obligation of means. Be wary of any concierge service that promises you full occupancy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who decides the price—you or the tool?

You. The tool provides a price per night within the limits you have set, and any deviation from those limits requires your prior approval, which you can give by simply sending a message.

Why does my price change every day?

Because demand changes every day: seasonality, days of the week, local events, and occupancy rates at comparable properties. The price follows actual demand rather than being dictated by it.

Is a 90% occupancy rate good?

Not necessarily. The table above shows that a 65% occupancy rate at €120 yields more revenue than a 90% occupancy rate at €70, with fewer housekeeping tasks and less wear and tear.

Can I lock in a fixed price?

You can tighten your price limits until they align: the tool will then have no margin left. That's your right, but you'll be giving up the leverage provided by demand spikes.

Can I change my terminals in the middle of the season?

Yes, at any time, by simple written notice. The change takes effect upon receipt and applies to future reservations, but never to stays that have already been confirmed.

What happens if I decline a recommendation?

Nothing: We follow your guidelines and your decision. We simply log our warning when we believe a setting is negatively impacting your revenue, so that you can make an informed decision.

Can I get an income estimate?

Upon request. We do not routinely produce them, because a tool cannot measure the precise layout, the quality of the visuals, the care taken in the design, or the way you welcome guests. A simulation is a guide, not a promise.
