Gross bookings per Barbosa listing averaged COP 48,016,641 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Antioquia average: COP 34,769,863), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Barbosa listing brings in COP 9,230,000 in July, its best month, and COP 4,320,000 in September, 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%.
In a typical month, a top-quarter listing earns at least 4.8 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.

Profit
Yes, when it's run well. The average Barbosa Airbnb took in COP 48,016,641 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about COP 2,930,000 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 COP 7,260,000 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the COP 2,010,000 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about COP 3,100,000 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about COP 2,550,000 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.

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 COP 9,790,000 a month, against COP 4,000,000 for the average one.

Barbosa listings were booked on 19% of the nights they were open over the past year, 18 percentage points below the Antioquia average (37%) and 14 points below the Colombia average (33%). In a typical year, occupancy climbs to 32% in December and falls to 18% in May.
The busiest tenth of listings are booked about 6.7 times as often as the bottom quarter.

The 12-month rate of 19% averages each listing's whole year, slow months included; each month here counts only the listings booked in it.
Nightly rates
The average nightly rate in Barbosa, known as ADR (average daily rate), was COP 924,010 over the past year, about 2.5 times the Antioquia average of COP 372,000 and about 2.6 times the Colombia average of COP 353,000. Averaged month by month over the past two years, rates peak in June and July at about COP 839,000 and bottom out in September and November at about COP 681,000.
The top 10% charge about 2.7 times the rate of the bottom quarter.

The dashed line is the average of the months shown, COP 772,000. The 12-month ADR of COP 924,010 averages each listing's own rate across its whole year; the monthly points average listings month by month, so the two differ.
RevPAR, or revenue per available night, divides a listing's income by every night it was open to book, so it rises with both price and bookings. In Barbosa it averaged COP 187,000 over the past year, from about COP 144,000 in a typical September to about COP 298,000 in a typical July.

Seasonality
With only 39 active listings, the monthly pattern in Barbosa is noisy, since a few long or pricey stays can lift a month; revenue has tended to peak in July and bottom out in September.
