How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in (Old) Ottawa?
Gross bookings per (Old) Ottawa listing averaged CA$20,594 over the 12 months to October 2026 (Ontario average: CA$31,663), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.

Profit
Is an Airbnb in (Old) Ottawa Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average (Old) Ottawa Airbnb took in CA$20,594 in the 12 months to October 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about CA$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. A listing in the top quarter leaves about CA$2,320 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the CA$740 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about CA$1,330 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about CA$1,100 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.

- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of (Old) Ottawa listings are booked on 57% or more of their nights, against 40% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of CA$155 adds about CA$1,560 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge CA$250 a night or more, against a median of CA$155.

- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, August brings the average listing about CA$4,240, against CA$2,030 in February, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. (Old) Ottawa listings average 4.74 stars, and 17% carry Airbnb's Guest Favorite badge, which guests can filter for.
