Profit
Is an Airbnb in Banja Luka Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Banja Luka Airbnb took in KM 5,877 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 11,060, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about KM 690 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 Banja Luka's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Banja Luka listings are booked on 41% or more of their nights, against 24% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of KM 75 adds about KM 748 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge KM 100 a night or more, against a median of KM 75. 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 570 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, August brings the average listing about KM 1,250, against KM 491 in January, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Banja Luka listings average 4.87 stars, and 51% 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 920 a month, against KM 490 for the average one.

Top earners
Top-Earning Airbnbs and Hosts in Banja Luka
The top-grossing Airbnb in Banja Luka, a three-bedroom home, took in KM 38,800 over the past year, about 6.6 times the city's average of KM 5,880. One of the top-grossing listings, a two-bedroom unit at KM 489 a night (about 3.3 times the KM 150 that puts a listing in the top 10% here), is left out below: a price like that usually means it covers several rooms or units, or that it is misrecorded. Three of the six listings below have two bedrooms or fewer, so size alone doesn't explain the top of this market.

FAQ
Banja Luka Airbnb FAQ
How much do Airbnb hosts make in Banja Luka?
An active Banja Luka Airbnb grossed KM 5,877 on average in the 12 months to September 2026, according to AirROI's tracking of 295 active listings. That is before cleaning, management, taxes and financing. Busier, better-run listings do far better: the top quarter took in KM 1,110 or more in a typical month.
How much can I make on Airbnb in Banja Luka?
It depends most on the home's size, location and how it's run. The middle half of Banja Luka listings earn between KM 280 and KM 1,110 in a typical month, and the top tenth KM 1,860 or more. 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 Banja Luka?
Listings in Banja Luka were booked on 26% of available nights over the past year. That compares with 26% for the Republika Srpska average. August is usually the busiest month.
How much does an Airbnb cost per night in Banja Luka?
The average booked night in Banja Luka cost KM 95 before fees. Half of listings charge between KM 60 and KM 100, so bedroom count and location move the price more than the average suggests.
Do you need a permit for an Airbnb in Banja Luka?
None of the active Banja Luka 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 Banja Luka?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Banja Luka Airbnb grossed KM 5,877 in the 12 months to September 2026, 6% above the Republika Srpska average of KM 5,566, 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 690 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.

August usually pays best, averaging KM 1,250 per active listing over the past two years, and January usually pays least. The month-by-month table above shows how the latest 12 months played out.
