Gross bookings per Esquel listing averaged ARS 4,671,650 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Argentina average: ARS 11,097,728), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
The average Esquel listing brought in ARS 1,770,000 in October, its best month, and ARS 485,000 in April, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 39% 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 3.4 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
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.

October 2025 led on revenue. Nightly rates peaked in July 2026 and bookings in January 2026, so the best-paying month is not always the busiest or the priciest.

Averages per active listing in each month. Highlighted: the highest-revenue month of the 12. RevPAR is the month's revenue spread over its nights, booked or not. Booking lead time is the days between booking and check-in, and length of stay the nights per booking, for stays in that month.

Profit
Yes, as extra income from a home or room you already have. The average Esquel Airbnb took in ARS 4,671,650 in the 12 months to September 2026, counting listings open only part of the year, and a listing in the top quarter, run by its owner at everyday costs, keeps about ARS 527,000 a month after running costs.
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.
