Cleaning Fee Comparison
Cleaning fees play a major role in guest perception and booking decisions. This section highlights your average cleaning fees by bedroom category and compares them to the market, other property managers, and any custom comp sets you’ve created. These insights make it easy to identify when fees may be positioned too high or too low, whether competitors are charging more across certain unit sizes, and where market-wide cost increases may be influencing pricing. With this information, you can adjust your cleaning fees strategically to stay competitive while still covering operating costs.
Cancellation Policies vs. Competitors
Here, you’ll find a detailed breakdown of your cancellation policies and how they stack up against similar listings. Policy types—ranging from Flexible and Moderate to Firm, Strict, and No Refund—are compared across bedroom sizes and price tiers. These comparisons help you understand whether your current settings may be limiting conversions or whether competitors are offering more flexible options in your market. With this visibility, you can evaluate whether adjusting your policies could improve booking performance.
Monthly & Weekly Discounts vs. Competitors
This section focuses on long-stay incentives by showing how your weekly and monthly discounts compare to competitors. You can analyze differences across bedroom types to understand where the market is offering more aggressive discounts, whether your incentives are effectively encouraging longer stays, and how your pricing strategy aligns with traveler demand. The charts clearly highlight gaps or opportunities to refine your discount strategy.
Minimum Stay Requirements vs. Competitors
Minimum night requirements are a key factor in both occupancy and revenue. This portion of the page shows how your minimum stays compare across categories such as 1-night stays, 2–3 nights, 4–6 nights, 7–29 nights, and 30+ nights. By viewing these distributions by bedroom count, you can quickly see whether your policies are too restrictive, whether competitors are
adjusting minimum nights during low-demand periods, or if your approach is aligned with what guests expect in your market.
Pet Policy Comparison
As demand for pet-friendly accommodations continues to grow, this section helps you evaluate how your pet policies compare to the broader market. The view shows the distribution of listings that allow pets versus those that do not, enabling you to assess whether you may be missing out on potential bookings or if competitors are offering more flexibility. This insight supports strategic adjustments that can help you capture additional demand.
Filtering, Grouping & Comparison Tools
Across all policy categories, you can filter results by bedroom count or price tier, compare against markets or custom comp sets, apply multiple comparisons at once, and export charts for reporting or owner communication. These tools make the analysis highly flexible and tailored to your portfolio, ensuring you can extract the insights that matter most.
