We’re excited to announce the launch of PriceLabs in German, reflecting our dedication to helping German-speaking vacation rental hosts and property managers access our dynamic pricing and revenue management tools with ease. Now, in addition to our existing German-language support, and account management services, you can also navigate our entire platform in German!
While we have consistently served a global audience in various languages, the past two years have brought new milestones with the introduction of our platform in Spanish, Italian, French, Portuguese, and now German, alongside English.

Our integrations with key Property Management Systems (PMS) and Channel Managers popular in Germany and across Europe, including Airbnb, Vrbo, WeChalet, Smoobu, Avantio, and Lodgify enable seamless access to our platform.
2024 Trends: Vacation Rental Market Trends in Germany
Germany’s short-term rental market is on the rise, and our data provides some insights into this exciting growth:
- Since 2020, listings on platforms like Airbnb in Germany have grown by over 100,000, with a 17% increase just in the last year—showing strong growth in the vacation rental market.
- Germany ranks as the fifth-largest vacation rental market in Europe, with over 235,000 active short-term rentals, trailing only France, Italy, Spain, and the United Kingdom.
- 33% of listings are managed by small property managers and 32% by individual hosts
- The regions/cities with the highest number of listings include Berlin, Munich, Frankfurt, Cologne, Düsseldorf, Bavaria, Rhine-Main Area, Black Forest Area, The Baltic Sea Coast, North Sea Islands and Coast, Hamburg and Saxony.
Despite this upward trend, only 33% of properties in Germany have adopted dynamic pricing and revenue management strategies, representing untapped potential for revenue growth and optimization.

Hear What PriceLabs German Customers Are Saying
“We’ve been able to double the turnover of the properties we’ve taken over, on average. Previously, the owners managed these properties using their resources without structured price management or specific strategies. For the properties we’ve taken over, we’ve achieved more than double the turnover in some cases, but it’s been a doubling on average.”
– Stefanos Lespouridis, Founder, Xenorentals
