Frequently asked questions
Yes. On the home page you have the real screens of each part of the Method: the chapters, The Method in Action, My Project, the calculator, the purchase diagnosis, the contracts and cleaning. Buy knowing exactly what you get.
It's the part of the Method that works with your numbers. You choose whether you already have a property or are thinking of buying one, enter a few figures and see what each night leaves you, what holds back your result and whether a decision pays off before you make it. It isn't artificial intelligence and uses no market data: it calculates with your figures and shows you every calculation. You can try an example right here.
On your own device. They aren't sent anywhere and we don't see them. You can export a backup whenever you like and delete everything with one click. That's why, if you change device, use that backup to take them with you.
It's an app: you open it with your access link on your phone, tablet or computer, and in two taps you install it with its own icon, without going through any app store. Updates arrive automatically and your access doesn't expire.
Once payment is complete we send the access link to your email; it usually arrives within a few minutes. There's no waiting or validation process: you open the link and start with the first chapter or with My Project.
Yes. The AlpinaSuite Method evolves, and as a buyer you will always have access to the latest version at no extra cost. Every improvement, chapter or new tool added to the pack becomes available to you — with no renewals or extra payments.
Yes. The contracts are built into the app itself. You fill in your details directly in the fields, can add custom clauses and download the PDF ready to use. You don't need Word or any external program.
Absolutely. Applying it from the start is the most profitable way to use it — you avoid the most common mistakes before making them. Block 01 is designed exactly for that starting point.
It's for you too. The blocks on brand, direct bookings, profitability and positioning are designed for those who already have operations up and running but want to take them to the next level — charge more, depend less on platforms and build something recognisable.
The pack doesn't include tutoring or personalised support — it's a self-study resource designed to be completely stand-alone. The FAQ built into the app itself are designed precisely to answer the most common questions without needing to consult anyone.
None. The Method works like any app: no programs or settings. If you know how to open a link, you know how to use it — from your phone, tablet or computer. And the Method itself explains how to install it with its own icon in two taps.
The host's notebook
With the single fee, in most cases Airbnb deducts 15.5% of what you charge, and the guest no longer pays a separate fee. Before, the host paid around 3% and the guest paid the rest. In Spain the general change is planned for 13 October 2026; if you use a channel manager, you probably already have it.
At the same price, a €100 night that used to leave you €97 now leaves you €84.50. And the commission applies to the whole subtotal, cleaning included.
To receive the same: new price = current price × 0.97 ÷ 0.845. With €100 it comes to €114.79, and for the guest the total barely changes, because they were already paying their share of the commission at the end.
First, what each check-out really costs: cleaning hours (including yours, if you clean yourself), laundry and restocking. For example, two hours at €15, €12 of laundry and €6 of restocking: €48.
Then the commission, which also applies to the cleaning fee. If you charge €48, you receive €40.56: you put €7.44 out of your own pocket on each check-out. The minimum fee is cost per check-out ÷ (1 − commission): 48 ÷ 0.845 = €56.80.
With stays of three nights or more, charging it separately usually works. With one- or two-night stays it makes the total much more expensive and it's better to include it in the nightly price. What you don't do is give it away.
It's the price below which every night you sell costs you money. Each night has to pay its share of the month's fixed costs, its share of the cleaning and the commission.
Minimum price = (monthly fixed costs ÷ nights sold + cost per check-out ÷ average stay) ÷ (1 − commission).
With €475 of fixed costs, 18 nights sold, €50 check-outs and three-night stays: (26.39 + 16.67) ÷ 0.845 = €50.95. If you also want to earn €40 a night, add it before dividing: €98.29. That minimum isn't shown to the guest; it tells you how low you can go in low season.
First, what each night really leaves you: price × (1 − commission) − cost per check-out ÷ average stay. With a €95 night, a 15.5% commission, €45 check-outs and three-night stays: €65.28.
Then, monthly fixed costs ÷ what each night leaves. With €600 of fixed costs it comes to 9.19: that is, 10 nights a month. From the eleventh onwards, it's all result.
If you have a loan, add the payment: with €500 more, you need 17 nights, more than half the month. Do it by season: that way you know which months fall short and can decide what to do with them before they arrive.
They're easier to understand by how they behave than by their name. The fixed ones arrive even if nobody comes: electricity, water, internet, community fees, insurance, accountant, software, and the annual ones such as property tax (IBI) or waste collection tax, which are best divided by twelve.
The per-check-out ones cost the same whether the guest stays one night or seven: cleaning, laundry and restocking. That's why short stays cost more than they seem.
And the ones that grow as you bill: the platform commission (15.5% on Airbnb, between 15% and 18% on Booking), the manager's if you have one and the payment gateway's. Fixed costs are looked at per month, per-check-out costs per stay and commission as a percentage.
Almost every calculation divides what the property bills by what it cost, and out comes a nice number that isn't what you earn. A €200,000 apartment that sells 180 nights at €110 bills €19,800: 9.9% on paper.
But out of that income come €3,069 of commission, €3,000 of cleaning and €5,700 of fixed costs. That leaves €8,031 before tax: 4.0%. The same flat, counted in full.
Real return = (income − commissions − check-outs − fixed costs) ÷ investment. And calculate it with the average occupancy for the whole year, not the summer one. My Project does this calculation with your own numbers.
