Pricing Strategy and Dynamic Pricing

You set the limits, and a tool adjusts them internally based on actual day-to-day 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.

This page explains how the tool works, exactly where your decisions fit into the system, and the only metric that really matters: revenue per available room night.

Landmark

You set the minimum and maximum prices. The tool operates strictly within these limits, and any deviation from them requires your prior approval, which can be given by simply sending a message.

How It Works

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, which varies from day to day, always within the range you have set.

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.

Points to Watch For
Warning

Setting your rates too high during the off-season is costly: a night that goes unsold can never be made up for. We’ll let you know if your rates are holding back bookings, but the decision is ultimately yours.

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.
