Revenue
How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Buga?
Gross bookings per Buga listing averaged COP 10,732,162 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Valle del Cauca average: COP 15,306,817), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Buga listing brings in COP 2,060,000 in December, its best month, and COP 1,200,000 in February, its slowest. Both ends are close calls: December leads July by 1%, and February sits just 4% below May, so either pair can swap places in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 31% 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 four times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn COP 3,460,000+ a month, about three times the typical property.
- Strong performers (top 25%) earn COP 2,150,000 or more, roughly COP 980,000 a month above the median.
- Typical properties (median) earn about COP 1,170,000 a month.
- Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn COP 536,000 or less, about 46% 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 1.7 times what February does

Buga Airbnb Data by Month
Latest 12 months in the September 2026 data. September's figures are still coming in, so the rows run to August.
July 2026 led on revenue. Nightly rates peaked in August 2026 and bookings in December 2025, so the best-paying month is not always the busiest or the priciest. Across the past two years, December is usually the strongest month.

Profit
Is an Airbnb in Buga Profitable?
Yes, as extra income from a home or room you already have. The average Buga Airbnb took in COP 10,732,162 in the 12 months to September 2026, counting listings open only part of the year, and a listing in the top quarter, run by its owner at everyday costs, keeps about COP 1,200,000 a month after running costs.
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 Buga's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Buga listings are booked on 38% or more of their nights, against 21% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of COP 154,000 adds about COP 1,540,000 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge COP 236,000 a night or more, against a median of COP 154,000. 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 1,030,000 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, December brings the average listing about COP 2,060,000, against COP 1,200,000 in February, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Buga listings average 4.82 stars, and 48% 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 1,650,000 a month, against COP 890,000 for the average one.
