The average Machalí listing brought in CLP 663,000 in March, its best month, and CLP 250,000 in October, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 32% of a full year's revenue, where an even calendar would give any three months 25%.
Across Machalí's 20 active listings, monthly revenue by tier:

- Strong performers (top 25%) earn CLP 677,000 or more, roughly CLP 350,000 a month above the median.

Profit
Is an Airbnb in Machalí Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Machalí Airbnb took in CLP 3,627,860 in the 12 months to May 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 CLP 7,546,000, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about CLP 440,000 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 Machalí's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Machalí listings are booked on 40% or more of their nights, against 19% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of CLP 60,100 adds about CLP 601,000 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge CLP 74,900 a night or more, against a median of CLP 60,100. 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 CLP 342,000 a year.
- Open for the busy months. March brought the average listing about CLP 663,000, against CLP 250,000 in October, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Machalí listings average 4.78 stars, and 45% 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 CLP 629,000 a month, against CLP 302,000 for the average one.
