Profit
Is an Airbnb in Palas Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Palas Airbnb took in ALL 1,240,459 in the 12 months to October 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about ALL 71,000 a month of that is left after running costs, so a home that costs less than that to own or rent makes money. A listing in the top quarter leaves about ALL 134,000 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the ALL 87,000 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about ALL 79,000 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about ALL 62,000 a month.
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 Palas's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Palas listings are booked on 22% or more of their nights, against 13% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of ALL 30,800 adds about ALL 308,000 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge ALL 43,700 a night or more, against a median of ALL 30,800. 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 115,000 a year.
- Open for the busy months. July brought the average listing about ALL 501,000, against ALL 15,300 in February, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
