Profit
Is an Airbnb in Palfen Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Palfen Airbnb took in €15,453 in the 12 months to April 2025, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about €940 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 €1,610 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 Palfen's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Palfen listings are booked on 50% or more of their nights, against 31% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of €135 adds about €1,360 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge €220 a night or more, against a median of €135. 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 €1,550 a year.
- Open for the busy months. January brought the average listing about €4,760, against €864 in November, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
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 €2,190 a month, against €1,290 for the average one.
