Revenue

How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Santiago de los Caballeros?

Gross bookings per Santiago de los Caballeros listing averaged DOP 412,262 over the 12 months to October 2026 (Dominican Republic average: DOP 824,053), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.

In a typical year, the average Santiago de los Caballeros listing brings in DOP 70,700 in July, its best month, and DOP 46,100 in November, its slowest. September runs within 5% of November, so either can be the slowest 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 four times as much as a bottom-quarter one.

Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn DOP 112,000+ a month, about 2.9 times the typical property.
Strong performers (top 25%) earn DOP 72,200 or more, roughly DOP 33,000 a month above the median.
Typical properties (median) earn about DOP 39,300 a month.
Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn DOP 18,000 or less, about 46% 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 1.5 times what November does

Profit

Is an Airbnb in Santiago de los Caballeros Profitable?

Yes, when it's run well. The average Santiago de los Caballeros Airbnb took in DOP 412,262 in the 12 months to October 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 757,700, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about DOP 42,800 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 Santiago de los Caballeros's Top Earners Get There

More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Santiago de los Caballeros listings are booked on 54% or more of their nights, against 32% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of DOP 3,750 adds about DOP 37,500 in bookings.
Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge DOP 5,300 a night or more, against a median of DOP 3,750. 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 38,000 a year.
Open for the busy months. In a typical year, July brings the average listing about DOP 70,700, against DOP 46,100 in November, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
Reviews that stand out. Santiago de los Caballeros listings average 4.80 stars, and 39% 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 63,100 a month, against DOP 34,400 for the average one.
