In a typical year, the average Pointe-Noire listing brings in FCFA 612,000 in August, its best month, and FCFA 286,000 in June, 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%.
Across Pointe-Noire's 29 active listings, monthly revenue by tier:
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn FCFA 699,000+ a month, about 2.4 times the typical property.

Pointe-Noire Airbnb Data by Month
Latest 12 months in the October 2026 data. October's figures are still coming in, so the rows run to September.
October 2025 led on revenue. Nightly rates peaked in June 2026 and bookings in August 2026, so the best-paying month is not always the busiest or the priciest. October 2025 was a one-off: listings earned about 94% more than they did in October 2024, so the seasonal averages on this page leave it out. Across the past two years, August is usually the strongest month.

Profit
Is an Airbnb in Pointe-Noire Profitable?
Yes, as extra income from a home or room you already have. The average Pointe-Noire Airbnb took in FCFA 1,343,440 in the 12 months to October 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 FCFA 125,000 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 Pointe-Noire's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Pointe-Noire listings are booked on 29% or more of their nights, against 17% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of FCFA 40,300 adds about FCFA 403,000 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge FCFA 60,400 a night or more, against a median of FCFA 40,300. 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 FCFA 130,000 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, August brings the average listing about FCFA 612,000, against FCFA 286,000 in June, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Pointe-Noire listings average 4.74 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 FCFA 174,000 a month, against FCFA 112,000 for the average one.
