The short answer

Colón Airbnb Market at a Glance

Rates in Colón run ahead of the San Jose Province average, with bookings close to it. Listings averaged ₡48,909 a night and were booked on 35% of available nights, against ₡41,800 and 36% for the San Jose Province average.

Timing matters: in March, usually the best month, the average listing earns about twice as much as in September, usually the slowest. With only 39 active listings, a few bookings can reorder the months.

With 39 active listings, Colón is the 18th-largest of 40 San Jose Province markets AirROI tracks. From a year earlier, average revenue fell 14% while the number of active listings shrank 20%.

Revenue

How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Colón?

Gross bookings per Colón listing averaged ₡5,915,900 over the 12 months to October 2026 (San Jose Province average: ₡4,082,970), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.

In a typical year, the average Colón listing brings in ₡923,000 in March, its best month, and ₡483,000 in September, its slowest. January runs within 5% of March, so either can come out on top in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 29% 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 3.9 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn ₡1,190,000+ a month, about 3.2 times the typical property.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn ₡697,000 or more, roughly ₡330,000 a month above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) earn about ₡366,000 a month.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn ₡177,000 or less, about half 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.

March earns about twice what September does

Average revenue per active listing, by month, October 2024 to September 2026

The dashed line is the average of the months shown, ₡759,000. Each point is one month as recorded, averaged over the listings active in it. The best and slowest months in the text average each calendar month over the past two years, so they can differ from the highest and lowest points here.

Colón 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.

March 2026 led on revenue. Nightly rates peaked in October 2025 and bookings in July 2026, so the best-paying month is not always the busiest or the priciest.

Profit

Is an Airbnb in Colón Profitable?

Yes, when it's run well. The average Colón Airbnb took in ₡5,915,900 in the 12 months to October 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about ₡330,000 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 ₡634,000 a month.

Cleaning it yourself keeps the ₡381,000 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about ₡361,000 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about ₡284,000 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 Colón's Top Earners Get There

  • More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Colón listings are booked on 54% or more of their nights, against 33% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of ₡33,000 adds about ₡330,000 in bookings.
  • Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge ₡53,700 a night or more, against a median of ₡33,000. 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 ₡553,000 a year.
  • Open for the busy months. In a typical year, March brings the average listing about ₡923,000, against ₡483,000 in September, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
  • Reviews that stand out. Colón listings average 4.83 stars, and 54% 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 ₡938,000 a month, against ₡493,000 for the average one.

Occupancy

What Is the Airbnb Occupancy Rate in Colón?

Colón listings were booked on 35% of the nights they were open over the past year, in line with the San Jose Province average and in line with the Costa Rica average. In a typical year, occupancy climbs to 43% in April and falls to 29% in October.

The busiest tenth of listings are booked about four times as often as the bottom quarter.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) are booked 72%+ of open nights, 39 points above the median.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) fill 54% or more, roughly four nights a week.
  • Typical properties (median) fill about 33% of open nights.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) fill 18% or less, under two nights a week.

April is usually the busiest month in Colón, October the quietest

Share of open nights booked, by month, October 2024 to September 2026

The 12-month rate of 35% averages each listing's whole year, slow months included; each month here counts only the listings booked in it.

Nightly rates

How Much Does an Airbnb Cost per Night in Colón?

The average nightly rate in Colón, known as ADR (average daily rate), was ₡48,909 over the past year, about 17% above the San Jose Province average of ₡41,800 and about 55% below the Costa Rica average of ₡109,000. Averaged month by month over the past two years, rates peak in January and February at about ₡60,500 and bottom out in October and November at about ₡53,100.

Prices span a wide range: the top 10% charge about 3.7 times the rate of the bottom quarter.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) charge ₡83,700+ a night, about 2.5 times the median.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) charge ₡53,700 or more, about ₡21,000 above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) charge about ₡33,000 a night.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) charge ₡22,400 or less, about two-thirds of the median.

January rates run 14% above October's

Average nightly rate (ADR), by month, October 2024 to September 2026

The dashed line is the average of the months shown, ₡56,800. The 12-month ADR of ₡48,909 averages each listing's own rate across its whole year; the monthly points average listings month by month, so the two differ.

What Is the RevPAR for Airbnb in Colón?

RevPAR, or revenue per available night, divides a listing's income by every night it was open to book, so it rises with both price and bookings. In Colón it averaged ₡21,400 over the past year, from about ₡16,100 in a typical September to about ₡29,800 in a typical March.

Per open night, by tier:

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn ₡26,200+ per open night, about 1.9 times the median.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn ₡21,500 or more, about ₡7,500 a night above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) earn about ₡14,000 per open night.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn ₡7,890 or less, about 56% of the median.

March RevPAR is about 1.8 times September's

Revenue per open night (RevPAR), by month, October 2024 to September 2026

Permits

Airbnb Permits and Registration in Colón

None of the 39 active listings in Colón display a registration, permit or license number. That doesn't mean no rules apply: some places don't ask hosts to show a number on the listing, and listing data doesn't capture every scheme.

Registration, permit, zoning and tourist-tax rules vary by address and change often, so confirm them with the local authority before buying or listing in Colón.
