Revenue
How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Samana?
Gross bookings per Samana listing averaged DOP 727,936 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Samaná average: DOP 1,109,775), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Samana listing brings in DOP 116,000 in January, its best month, and DOP 63,200 in September, its slowest. February runs within 5% of January, so either can come out on top in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 30% 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 4.5 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn DOP 219,000+ a month, about 4.2 times the typical property.
- Strong performers (top 25%) earn DOP 104,000 or more, roughly DOP 52,000 a month above the median.
- Typical properties (median) earn about DOP 52,000 a month.
- Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn DOP 22,900 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.

Samana Airbnb Data by Month
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 April 2026 and bookings in February 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
Is an Airbnb in Samana Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Samana Airbnb took in DOP 727,936 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about DOP 42,600 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 DOP 86,500 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the DOP 35,900 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about DOP 45,600 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about DOP 36,900 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 Samana's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Samana listings are booked on 43% or more of their nights, against 24% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of DOP 6,075 adds about DOP 60,700 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge DOP 10,800 a night or more, against a median of DOP 6,075. 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 69,200 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, January brings the average listing about DOP 116,000, against DOP 63,200 in September, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Samana listings average 4.77 stars, and 37% 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 121,700 a month, against DOP 60,700 for the average one.

What Is the RevPAR for Airbnb in Samana?
