How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Salgar?
Gross bookings per Salgar listing averaged COP 20,296,330 over the 12 months to October 2026 (Atlántico average: COP 17,486,220), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Salgar listing brings in COP 4,240,000 in January, its best month, and COP 1,950,000 in September, its slowest. December runs within 1% of January, so either can come out on top in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 33% of a full year's revenue, where an even calendar would give any three months 25%.
Across Salgar's 24 active listings, monthly revenue by tier:
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn COP 8,800,000+ a month, about 5.2 times the typical property.
- Strong performers (top 25%) earn COP 4,110,000 or more, roughly COP 2,400,000 a month above the median.
- Typical properties (median) earn about COP 1,690,000 a month.
- Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn COP 1,060,000 or less, about two-thirds of the median.
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
Is an Airbnb in Salgar Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Salgar Airbnb took in COP 20,296,330 in the 12 months to October 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 49,370,000, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about COP 2,990,000 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 Salgar's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Salgar listings are booked on 28% or more of their nights, against 14% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of COP 372,000 adds about COP 3,720,000 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge COP 600,000 a night or more, against a median of COP 372,000. 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 1,950,000 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, January brings the average listing about COP 4,240,000, against COP 1,950,000 in September, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Salgar listings average 4.88 stars, and 17% 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 4,110,000 a month, against COP 1,690,000 for the average one.
