Gross bookings per Bandar Seri Begawan listing averaged BND 6,582 over the 12 months to October 2026, before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Bandar Seri Begawan listing brings in BND 1,250 in January, its best month, and BND 340 in November, its slowest. October runs within 3% of November, so either can be the slowest in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 38% 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 6.5 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.

The dashed line is the average of the months shown, BND 737. Each point is one month as recorded, averaged over the listings active in it. The best and slowest months in the text average each calendar month over the past two years, so they can differ from the highest and lowest points here.
Latest 12 months in the October 2026 data. October's figures are still coming in, so the rows run to September.
January 2026 led on revenue. Nightly rates peaked in May 2026 and bookings in July 2026, so the best-paying month is not always the busiest or the priciest.

Profit
Yes, when it's run well. The average Bandar Seri Begawan Airbnb took in BND 6,582 in the 12 months to October 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 BND 18,150, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about BND 1,100 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.
