Revenue

How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Santo Domingo?

Gross bookings per Santo Domingo listing averaged DOP 481,596 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Dominican Republic average: DOP 773,443), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.

In a typical year, the average Santo Domingo listing brings in DOP 75,600 in July, its best month, and DOP 53,400 in February, its slowest. September runs within 3% of February, so either can be the slowest 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 4.1 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn DOP 127,000+ a month, about 2.7 times the typical property.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn DOP 84,500 or more, roughly DOP 38,000 a month above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) earn about DOP 46,500 a month.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn DOP 20,300 or less, about 44% 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.

July earns about 1.4 times what February does

Profit

Is an Airbnb in Santo Domingo Profitable?

Yes, when it's run well. The average Santo Domingo Airbnb took in DOP 481,596 in the 12 months to September 2026, an average that counts every active listing, including those open only part of the year. A listing in the top quarter took in about DOP 875,200, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about DOP 50,700 a month of that is left after running costs, so a home that costs less than that to own or rent makes money.

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 Santo Domingo's Top Earners Get There

  • More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Santo Domingo listings are booked on 61% or more of their nights, against 36% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of DOP 4,070 adds about DOP 40,700 in bookings.
  • Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge DOP 5,410 a night or more, against a median of DOP 4,070. 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 DOP 44,800 a year.
  • Open for the busy months. In a typical year, July brings the average listing about DOP 75,600, against DOP 53,400 in February, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
  • Reviews that stand out. Santo Domingo listings average 4.76 stars, and 34% 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 DOP 72,900 a month, against DOP 40,100 for the average one.
