Profit
Is an Airbnb in Gjirokastra Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Gjirokastra Airbnb took in ALL 289,027 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 538,000, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about ALL 33,300 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 Gjirokastra's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Gjirokastra listings are booked on 38% or more of their nights, against 20% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of ALL 4,165 adds about ALL 41,700 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge ALL 5,165 a night or more, against a median of ALL 4,165. 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 28,200 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, August brings the average listing about ALL 63,100, against ALL 19,200 in December, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Gjirokastra listings average 4.84 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 44,800 a month, against ALL 24,100 for the average one.
