Profit
Is an Airbnb in Guadalupe Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Guadalupe Airbnb took in ₡4,060,137 in the 12 months to March 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about ₡245,000 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 ₡398,000 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the ₡241,000 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about ₡265,000 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about ₡213,000 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 Guadalupe's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Guadalupe listings are booked on 57% or more of their nights, against 40% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of ₡27,800 adds about ₡278,000 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge ₡36,600 a night or more, against a median of ₡27,800. 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 ₡382,000 a year.
- Open for the busy months. December brought the average listing about ₡908,000, against ₡333,000 in February, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Guadalupe listings average 4.82 stars, and 32% 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 ₡546,000 a month, against ₡338,000 for the average one.
