Beyond the Base Rate: Hidden Revenue Opportunities for Rental Hosts
Table Of Contents
Maximizing revenue doesn’t always mean raising nightly rates. For property managers and hosts, the key often lies in value-added services that enhance guest experience while increasing earnings. In this blog, we dive into creative and practical upselling strategies you can implement today—without sacrificing guest satisfaction.
Offer Paid Early Check-In & Late Check-Out Options
Guests love flexibility—especially when they’re arriving from long flights or late-night events. Offering early check-in or late check-out for a small fee is one of the simplest ways to generate extra income per booking.
📈 Benefits:
- Boosts revenue without needing additional amenities
- Appeals to last-minute planners and frequent travelers
- Encourages better scheduling and turnover control
💡 Suggested Price Range:
₱300–₱700 depending on demand, location, and check-in logistics.
Implement Tiered Pricing for Cleaning and Turnovers
Not all stays require the same effort—and your cleaning fees can reflect that. Offering tiered cleaning options based on the length of stay or special requests allows you to tailor the guest experience and increase profit.
🧽 Cleaning Fee Strategies:
- Standard Clean: Included or fixed fee for 1–3 nights
- Extended Stay Clean: Slightly higher fee (₱100–₱300 extra) for 4+ nights
- Pet Cleaning Add-On: (₱300–₱600 extra) when pets are allowed
- Mid-Stay Refresh: Optional clean for long stays at a discounted rate
💡 Tip: Be transparent in your listing—clearly explain what’s included in each cleaning level to avoid guest confusion or complaints.
