Revenue
Gross bookings per Centro Habana listing averaged $2,893 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Havana average: $3,981), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Centro Habana listing brings in $571 in January, its best month, and $417 in April, its slowest. September runs within 3% of April, so either can be the slowest in a given year. The swing is mild: the best month earns about 37% more than the slowest.
In a typical month, a top-quarter listing earns at least 4.4 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.

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 January 2026, so the best-paying month is not always the busiest or the priciest. Across the past two years, January is usually the strongest month.

Profit
Yes, as extra income from a home or room you already have. The average Centro Habana Airbnb took in $2,893 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 $350 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.
