Gross bookings per Villavieja listing averaged COP 14,756,872 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Huila average: COP 11,866,547), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Villavieja listing brings in COP 2,690,000 in June, its best month, and COP 1,080,000 in May, its slowest. December runs within 1% of June, so either can come out on top in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 34% 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 3.5 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 Villavieja Airbnb took in COP 14,756,872 in the 12 months to September 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 28,310,000, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about COP 1,820,000 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.

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 2,360,000 a month, against COP 1,230,000 for the average one.
Occupancy
Villavieja listings were booked on 15% of the nights they were open over the past year, 9 percentage points below the Huila average (24%) and 18 points below the Colombia average (33%). In a typical year, occupancy climbs to 21% in December and falls to 10% in May.
Most listings fill a similar share of their open nights.

The 12-month rate of 15% 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 Villavieja, known as ADR (average daily rate), was COP 395,065 over the past year, about 62% above the Huila average of COP 244,000 and about 12% above the Colombia average of COP 353,000. In a typical year, rates peak in July and August at about COP 396,000 and bottom out in February at about COP 326,000.
Prices span a wide range: the top 10% charge about four times the rate of the bottom quarter.
August rates run 21% above February's
Average nightly rate (ADR), by month, September 2024 to August 2026
The dashed line is the average of the months shown, COP 332,000. The 12-month ADR of COP 395,065 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 Villavieja it averaged COP 60,300 over the past year, from about COP 34,900 in a typical May to about COP 89,700 in a typical June.
