How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Sonsón?
Gross bookings per Sonsón listing averaged COP 18,709,081 over the 12 months to March 2026 (Antioquia average: COP 37,698,135), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
The average Sonsón listing brought in COP 6,440,000 in February, its best month, and COP 1,450,000 in May, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 42% of a full year's revenue, where an even calendar would give any three months 25%.
Across Sonsón's 19 active listings, monthly revenue by tier:
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn COP 9,530,000+ a month, about 6.6 times the typical property.
- Strong performers (top 25%) earn COP 4,200,000 or more, roughly COP 2,800,000 a month above the median.
- Typical properties (median) earn about COP 1,440,000 a month.
- Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn COP 550,000 or less, about 38% of the median.

Latest 12 months in the March 2026 data.
February led on revenue. Nightly rates peaked in October and bookings in December, so the best-paying month is not always the busiest or the priciest.

Averages per active listing in each month. Highlighted: the highest-revenue month. RevPAR is the month's revenue spread over its nights, booked or not. Booking lead time is the days between booking and check-in, and length of stay the nights per booking, for stays in that month. *Mar 2026 is the latest month and looks incomplete: its occupancy sits well below the calendar months either side of it, as the latest month often does before late bookings are recorded. It may be revised and is not counted as a best or worst month.

Profit
Is an Airbnb in Sonsón Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Sonsón Airbnb took in COP 18,709,081 in the 12 months to March 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 COP 54,520,000, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about COP 3,510,000 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 Sonsón's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Sonsón listings are booked on 28% or more of their nights, against 16% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of COP 128,000 adds about COP 1,280,000 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge COP 515,000 a night or more, against a median of COP 128,000. 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 1,810,000 a year.
- Open for the busy months. February brought the average listing about COP 6,440,000, against COP 1,450,000 in May, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Sonsón listings average 4.88 stars, and 37% 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 COP 4,540,000 a month, against COP 1,560,000 for the average one.
