Gross bookings per El Hormiguero listing averaged COP 9,751,674 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 El Hormiguero listing brings in COP 2,180,000 in December, its best month, and COP 1,410,000 in November, its slowest. Both ends are close calls: December leads July by 1%, and November sits just 3% below September, 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 five 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.
December earns about 1.5 times what November does

Profit
Yes, as extra income from a home or room you already have. The average El Hormiguero Airbnb took in COP 9,751,674 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 1,278,000 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.

Figures on this page cover 86 active Airbnb listings in El Hormiguero from October 2025 to September 2026 (trailing twelve months). AirROI refreshes them monthly from listing-level booking and calendar data covering 20+ million properties worldwide. AirROI measures bookings in US dollars; this page shows them in Colombian pesos at COP 3,672 per US$, the typical rate from October 2025 to September 2026. Annual revenue averages every listing active during the period, including those listed for only part of it; monthly figures average the listings active in each month; the tier lists show the spread. Neighborhood descriptions are AI-assisted. See the methodology for definitions.
