Revenue

How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Sarajevo?

Gross bookings per Sarajevo listing averaged KM 11,315 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina average: KM 11,502), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.

The average Sarajevo listing brought in KM 3,010 in August, its best month, and KM 839 in January, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 41% 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 3.8 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn KM 3,400+ a month, about three times the typical property.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn KM 2,130 or more, roughly KM 980 a month above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) earn about KM 1,150 a month.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn KM 546 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 earned about 3.6 times what January did

Profit

Is an Airbnb in Sarajevo Profitable?

Yes, when it's run well. The average Sarajevo Airbnb took in KM 11,315 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 KM 20,940, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about KM 1,270 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.

Estimate Your Own Sarajevo Airbnb Profit

The estimate starts from Sarajevo's average listing, run by its owner. Change how the listing performs, who runs it and who cleans to see what is left for the mortgage or rent.

How Sarajevo's Top Earners Get There

  • More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Sarajevo listings are booked on 55% or more of their nights, against 32% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of KM 115 adds about KM 1,150 in bookings.
  • Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge KM 155 a night or more, against a median of KM 115. 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 KM 1,090 a year.
  • Open for the busy months. August brought the average listing about KM 3,010, against KM 839 in January, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
  • Reviews that stand out. Sarajevo listings average 4.81 stars, and 40% 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 KM 1,750 a month, against KM 940 for the average one.

Occupancy

What Is the Airbnb Occupancy Rate in Sarajevo?

Permits

Airbnb Permits and Registration in Sarajevo

None of the 732 active listings in Sarajevo display a registration, permit or license number. That doesn't mean no rules apply: some places don't ask hosts to show a number on the listing, and listing data doesn't capture every scheme.

Registration, permit, zoning and tourist-tax rules vary by address and change often, so confirm them with the local authority before buying or listing in Sarajevo.

AirROI's area guide picks seven Sarajevo neighborhoods that draw short-term rental guests, led by Baščaršija, Bascarsija and Vrelo Bosne. The picks reflect guest appeal, not earnings data or permit eligibility, so check local permit rules for a specific address before buying.

FAQ

Sarajevo Airbnb FAQ

How much do Airbnb hosts make in Sarajevo?

An active Sarajevo Airbnb grossed KM 11,315 on average in the 12 months to September 2026, according to AirROI's tracking of 732 active listings. That is before cleaning, management, taxes and financing. Busier, better-run listings do far better: the top quarter took in KM 2,130 or more in a typical month.

How much can I make on Airbnb in Sarajevo?

For one home, enter its address and bedroom count in the Airbnb income calculator: it compares the home with similar listings nearby.

What is the average Airbnb occupancy rate in Sarajevo?

Listings in Sarajevo were booked on 34% of available nights over the past year. That compares with 33% for the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina average. August was the busiest month.

How much does an Airbnb cost per night in Sarajevo?

The average booked night in Sarajevo cost KM 140 before fees. Half of listings charge between KM 88 and KM 155, so bedroom count and location move the price more than the average suggests.

Do you need a permit for an Airbnb in Sarajevo?

None of the active Sarajevo listings display a registration, permit or license number. That doesn't mean no rules apply, so confirm registration, permit and tourist-tax rules with the local authority before buying.

Is Airbnb profitable in Sarajevo?

Yes, when it's run well. The average Sarajevo Airbnb grossed KM 11,315 in the 12 months to September 2026, in line with the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina average, counting listings open only part of the year. A listing at the top-quarter mark, run by its owner with the cleaning fee covering the cleaner and everyday costs for Airbnb's fee, utilities, supplies, upkeep and insurance, has about KM 1,270 a month left before the mortgage or rent, so a home that costs less than that to own or rent makes a profit. Check a specific home in the Airbnb estimator.
