Do you have an accommodation open and you want to check if the profit that you are making is what it should be?
Are you going to open an accommodation and want to know what returns you can get?
We can help you! We have the solution for you with our calculator.
What information are we going to work with?
These are the roofed square metres of the property, including perimeter and interior partition walls.
In a location where the type of tourism is seasonal, you should determine the opening days during the year, which has no need to be 365. If the intention is to open year round in a certain location, then indicate which days of the year it will be open.
In this section you should indicate the average occupancy per season or per year, depending on the situation.
Guide yourself by the prices in the area, which will be your competition.
What you intend to do will involve different costs. A guest house or 4 star hotel have different modelling and decoration costs. We have added a calculation that includes remodelling and decoration averages, so you only have to add the purchase amount of the building.
Add in the average monthly working wage in your area. The norm is around 1200 Euros, but you decide.
Indicate the financing percentage that you have estimated to carry out the project.
Introduce the information, calculate, and you will get the result. These results reflect the figures of a (well set up) guest house, of a 3 – 4 star hotel, and of some 2 key rated apartments.
These are speculative prices, but without a doubt they will help you to decide what type of property you would like to aim for.

Client expectations regarding hotels have changed, today’s typical client is no longer looking for a hotel just as a place to sleep, they look to stay in a place where they can live a decent experience to be remembered, they want to live a different type of interaction with the accommodation, with other travellers, with gastronomy, the culture and the staff.
The hotel industry needs to adapt to the new types of client and their preferences, it must take a chance on new segments, which are more specific, more fitting and which respond better to the worries and demands of the new niches of emerging markets.
For this reason, at Special Lodgings we believe that opting for an adequate repositioning will allow:

Coaching is a collaborative/exploratory process, a voluntary activity based on guidance of a person, in different aspects by the Coach. Individual. Normally used for: instructing or training with the aim of achieving goals or developing specific abilities, accompaniment during the process of change, managing abilities and using them for a purpose, defining how to do something, and making correct decisions.

The restaurant consultancy service is useful in three scenarios: when the restaurant is to be opened, in order to achieve a successful launch, when it is functioning but needs improvement and performance optimisation, or when it is in full crisis situation.
It is essential to be competitive within the sector, adapting to situation changes.
It is important to make use of technological advances and implement them in the business, study consumer habits, and optimise economic and financial management in order to obtain good commercial results.
Nowadays, simply having a good range on the menu and excellent customer service is not sufficient.
