I ended up in short-stay rental through a practical problem. My girlfriend is Filipino and we travel regularly to visit her family, a journey of more than 24 hours. To catch our breath before the final leg, we started looking for an apartment in Iloilo City, a growing city with an international airport.
I've had two apartments on Airbnb in Iloilo City for several years now, both in the top 5 for highest revenue in their category.
Alongside my own listings, I've helped friends and family successfully launch their holiday rentals. A recent example: a friend achieved 30.3% more nightly revenue in the first four months under my guidance.
My transition to entrepreneurship is driven by a combination of proven expertise, external demand and a concrete turning point: the end of my employment. That moment gave me the space to turn my knowledge and passion for short-stay rental into a full business.
What I've seen in all those years is that most hosts are doing well. Cleaning runs smoothly, reviews are fine. But when you look at the numbers (the occupancy rate, the average booking price, the RevPAR) you almost always see the same thing: revenue is being left behind.
That's because pricing and listing optimisation is a field in itself, one you only truly learn when you work with it daily and understand how platforms like Airbnb and Booking.com really work.
Why BnB Attitude?
I saw a gap in the market. Property managers take everything over, convenient, but you lose control over your own properties and guests. Course providers teach you to do it yourself, valuable for beginners, but not what an experienced host with 4 or 6 properties needs.
BnB Attitude sits in between. Your properties, guests and accounts stay yours, I deliver the analysis and carry out the changes.
How I work
Direct and honest
I say what I think. Even if that means saying there's little to improve.
Results-driven
The performance fee runs on your booking revenue, so it only goes up when your revenue goes up.
Always in consultation
I take no accounts or contracts in my name, and every change goes past you before it happens.
Personal contact
You work directly with me, there's no account manager or support system in between.
