Revenue
How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Riohacha?
Gross bookings per Riohacha listing averaged COP 12,333,623 over the 12 months to September 2026 (La Guajira average: COP 22,323,206), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Riohacha listing brings in COP 2,420,000 in July, its best month, and COP 1,110,000 in February, its slowest. June runs within 4% of July, so either can come out on top in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 35% 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 4.6 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn COP 3,480,000+ a month, about 3.5 times the typical property.
- Strong performers (top 25%) earn COP 2,000,000 or more, roughly COP 1,000,000 a month above the median.
- Typical properties (median) earn about COP 994,000 a month.
- Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn COP 430,000 or less, about 43% 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 Riohacha Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Riohacha Airbnb took in COP 12,333,623 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 24,790,000, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about COP 1,500,000 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 Riohacha's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Riohacha listings are booked on 38% or more of their nights, against 20% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of COP 147,000 adds about COP 1,470,000 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge COP 202,000 a night or more, against a median of COP 147,000. 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 1,190,000 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, July brings the average listing about COP 2,420,000, against COP 1,110,000 in February, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Riohacha listings average 4.73 stars, and 21% 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 2,070,000 a month, against COP 1,030,000 for the average one.

A listing at the top-quarter mark, run by its owner with the cleaning fee covering the cleaner and everyday costs for Airbnb's fee, utilities, supplies, upkeep and insurance, has about COP 1,500,000 a month left before the mortgage or rent, so a home that costs less than that to own or rent makes a profit.
