Revenue

How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Shkoder?

Gross bookings per Shkoder listing averaged ALL 637,469 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Northern Albania average: ALL 564,343), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.

In a typical year, the average Shkoder listing brings in ALL 174,000 in August, its best month, and ALL 29,100 in February, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 48% 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 3.6 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn ALL 155,000+ a month, about 3.3 times the typical property.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn ALL 83,000 or more, roughly ALL 36,000 a month above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) earn about ALL 46,800 a month.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn ALL 23,000 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.

August earns about 6 times what February does

Profit

Is an Airbnb in Shkoder Profitable?

Yes, when it's run well. The average Shkoder Airbnb took in ALL 637,469 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 1,129,900, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about ALL 69,300 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 Shkoder's Top Earners Get There

  • More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Shkoder listings are booked on 49% or more of their nights, against 29% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of ALL 4,155 adds about ALL 41,500 in bookings.
  • Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge ALL 5,625 a night or more, against a median of ALL 4,155. 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 61,900 a year.
  • Open for the busy months. In a typical year, August brings the average listing about ALL 174,000, against ALL 29,100 in February, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
  • Reviews that stand out. Shkoder listings average 4.83 stars, and 50% 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 94,200 a month, against ALL 53,100 for the average one.
