How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Freetown?
Gross bookings per Freetown listing averaged COP 17,227,247 over the 12 months to April 2026 (San Andrés and Providencia average: COP 55,551,005), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
The average Freetown listing brought in COP 4,790,000 in August, its best month, and COP 987,000 in October, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 40% of a full year's revenue, where an even calendar would give any three months 25%.
Across Freetown's 19 active listings, monthly revenue by tier:
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn COP 4,380,000+ a month, about 2.8 times the typical property.
- Strong performers (top 25%) earn COP 2,890,000 or more, roughly COP 1,300,000 a month above the median.
- Typical properties (median) earn about COP 1,580,000 a month.
- Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn COP 875,000 or less, about 56% 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 Freetown Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Freetown Airbnb took in COP 17,227,247 in the 12 months to April 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 31,660,000, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about COP 1,980,000 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 Freetown's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Freetown listings are booked on 38% or more of their nights, against 24% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of COP 205,000 adds about COP 2,050,000 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge COP 334,000 a night or more, against a median of COP 205,000. 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 1,680,000 a year.
- Open for the busy months. August brought the average listing about COP 4,790,000, against COP 987,000 in October, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Freetown listings average 4.90 stars, and 53% 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 2,640,000 a month, against COP 1,440,000 for the average one.

Average nightly rate (ADR), by month
The dashed line is the average of the months shown, COP 258,000. The 12-month ADR of COP 279,726 averages each listing's own rate across its whole year; the monthly points average listings month by month, so the two differ.
