Revenue

How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Gjirokastër?

Gross bookings per Gjirokastër listing averaged ALL 270,230 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Albania average: ALL 512,822), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.

The average Gjirokastër listing brought in ALL 72,500 in August, its best month, and ALL 17,700 in January, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 41% of a full year's revenue, where an even calendar would give any three months 25%.

In a typical month, a top-quarter listing earns at least 4.3 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn ALL 80,400+ a month, about three times the typical property.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn ALL 55,900 or more, roughly ALL 29,000 a month above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) earn about ALL 26,500 a month.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn ALL 13,000 or less, about half of the median.

These are monthly figures for listings active in each month. The annual average above also counts listings that operated for only part of the year, so it runs below twelve times these figures.

Profit

Is an Airbnb in Gjirokastër Profitable?

Yes, when it's run well. The average Gjirokastër Airbnb took in ALL 270,230 in the 12 months to September 2026, an average that counts every active listing, including those open only part of the year. A listing in the top quarter took in about ALL 569,700, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about ALL 34,000 a month of that is left after running costs, so a home that costs less than that to own or rent makes money.

These amounts come before housing costs. Where the mortgage or rent is less each month, the difference is profit; a home owned outright keeps it all after property tax, home insurance and any building or condo fees.

How Gjirokastër's Top Earners Get There

  • More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Gjirokastër listings are booked on 41% or more of their nights, against 20% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of ALL 4,055 adds about ALL 40,600 in bookings.
  • Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge ALL 5,100 a night or more, against a median of ALL 4,055. That is a separate ranking from the busiest quarter, so the two marks don't multiply into one listing's takings. For the average listing, a 10% higher rate on the nights it already books adds about ALL 25,800 a year.
  • Open for the busy months. August brought the average listing about ALL 72,500, against ALL 17,700 in January, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
  • Reviews that stand out. Gjirokastër listings average 4.85 stars, and 57% carry Airbnb's Guest Favorite badge, which guests can filter for.

What a listing keeps comes down to the figures this page measures: nightly rate, nights booked and the months it's open. A listing at the top-quarter mark takes in about ALL 47,500 a month, against ALL 22,500 for the average one.
