Case study · Ronse
A higher nightly rate for a character home in Ronse
The owner was self-managing in Ronse and stuck at about 36% occupancy. After Casiola Belgium took over pricing, channels and guest communication, occupancy sits at 61% — 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 changed in numbers?
| Metric | Before | After | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Occupancy | 36% | 61% | +25 pp |
| Average nightly rate | €130 | €146 | +12% |

What was the problem?
One channel, flat rates all year and slow replies to guest questions. Outside summer the calendar in Ronse 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 36% to 61%, average nightly rate from €130 to €146, and an average guest rating of 4.8. The owner gets one transparent report and one payout each month.
