Case study · Knokke-Heist
A higher nightly rate for a character home in Knokke-Heist
The owner was self-managing in Knokke-Heist and stuck at about 50% occupancy. After Casiola Belgium took over pricing, channels and guest communication, occupancy sits at 78% — same property, no extra investment.
This is a sample story. The structure and sections are final, the numbers are illustrative and will be replaced by a real case.

What was the problem?
One channel, flat rates all year and slow replies to guest questions. Outside summer the calendar in Knokke-Heist stayed empty, and cleaning plus key handovers ate every weekend.
What did we change?
Full onboarding in two weeks: professional photography and a rewritten listing, distribution across Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo and our own direct channel, dynamic pricing per season and weekday, guest replies within the hour, and a fixed local cleaning and linen team checking the property after every stay.
What was the result?
Occupancy from 50% to 78%, average nightly rate from €275 to €308, and an average guest rating of 4.8. The owner gets one transparent report and one payout each month.
