Gross bookings per Carmen de Apicalá listing averaged COP 34,125,046 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Tolima average: COP 21,559,518), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.

In a typical year, the average Carmen de Apicalá listing brings in COP 5,590,000 in December, its best month, and COP 2,960,000 in February, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 32% 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 4.5 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn COP 10,500,000+ a month, about three times the typical property.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn COP 6,540,000 or more, roughly COP 3,100,000 a month above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) earn about COP 3,420,000 a month.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn COP 1,440,000 or less, about 42% 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.

December earns about 1.9 times what February does

Profit

Is an Airbnb in Carmen de Apicalá Profitable?

Yes, when it's run well. The average Carmen de Apicalá Airbnb took in COP 34,125,046 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about COP 2,010,000 a month of that is left after running costs, so a home that costs less than that to own or rent makes money. A listing in the top quarter leaves about COP 3,890,000 a month.

Cleaning it yourself keeps the COP 2,180,000 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about COP 2,190,000 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about COP 1,750,000 a month.

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 Carmen de Apicalá's Top Earners Get There

  • More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Carmen de Apicalá listings are booked on 33% or more of their nights, against 20% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of COP 558,000 adds about COP 5,580,000 in bookings.
  • Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge COP 845,000 a night or more, against a median of COP 558,000. 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 3,190,000 a year.
  • Open for the busy months. In a typical year, December brings the average listing about COP 5,590,000, against COP 2,960,000 in February, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
  • Reviews that stand out. Carmen de Apicalá listings average 4.69 stars, and 22% 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 5,440,000 a month, against COP 2,840,000 for the average one.
