Profit
Is an Airbnb in Caldas Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Caldas Airbnb took in COP 40,536,181 in the 12 months to April 2025, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about COP 2,470,000 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 5,270,000 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.

How Caldas's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Caldas listings are booked on 45% or more of their nights, against 24% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of COP 165,000 adds about COP 1,650,000 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge COP 295,000 a night or more, against a median of COP 165,000. 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 COP 4,050,000 a year.
- Open for the busy months. May brought the average listing about COP 13,400,000, against COP 1,570,000 in February, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
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 7,150,000 a month, against COP 3,380,000 for the average one.
