Profit
Is an Airbnb in Bujumbura Profitable?
Yes, as extra income from a home or room you already have. The average Bujumbura Airbnb took in BIF 5,695,894 in the 12 months to October 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 BIF 568,000 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.

How Bujumbura's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Bujumbura listings are booked on 45% or more of their nights, against 21% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of BIF 144,000 adds about BIF 1,440,000 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge BIF 193,000 a night or more, against a median of BIF 144,000. 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 BIF 507,000 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, July brings the average listing about BIF 1,900,000, against BIF 814,000 in March, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Bujumbura listings average 4.69 stars, and 19% 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 BIF 869,000 a month, against BIF 475,000 for the average one.
