Revenue

How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Manta?

Gross bookings per Manta listing averaged $4,484 over the 12 months to October 2026 (Manabí average: $5,184), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.

In a typical year, the average Manta listing brings in $1,070 in August, its best month, and $571 in November, its slowest. January runs within 2% of November, so either can be the slowest in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 33% 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 5.3 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn $1,700+ a month, about four times the typical property.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn $945 or more, roughly $520 a month above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) earn about $430 a month.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn $178 or less, about 41% 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.

August earns about 1.9 times what November does

Profit

Is an Airbnb in Manta Profitable?

Yes, when it's run well. The average Manta Airbnb took in $4,484 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 $9,860, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $570 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 Manta's Top Earners Get There

  • More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Manta listings are booked on 37% or more of their nights, against 19% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of $72 adds about $716 in bookings.
  • Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge $115 a night or more, against a median of $72. 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 $420 a year.
  • Open for the busy months. In a typical year, August brings the average listing about $1,070, against $571 in November, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
  • Reviews that stand out. Manta listings average 4.79 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 $820 a month, against $370 for the average one.

Occupancy

What Is the Airbnb Occupancy Rate in Manta?

The busiest tenth of listings are booked about 6.1 times as often as the bottom quarter.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) are booked 57%+ of open nights, 38 points above the median.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) fill 37% or more, roughly two and a half nights a week.
  • Typical properties (median) fill about 19% of open nights.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) fill 9% or less, less than one night a week.

What Is the RevPAR for Airbnb in Manta?

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn $44+ per open night, about 3.3 times the median.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn $28 or more, about $14 a night above the median.

Permits

Airbnb Permits and Registration in Manta

None of the 864 active listings in Manta display a registration, permit or license number. That doesn't mean no rules apply: some places don't ask hosts to show a number on the listing, and listing data doesn't capture every scheme.

Registration, permit, zoning and tourist-tax rules vary by address and change often, so confirm them with the local authority before buying or listing in Manta.

Manta Airbnb FAQ

Busier, better-run listings do far better: the top quarter took in US$945 or more in a typical month.

For one home, enter its address and bedroom count in the Airbnb calculator: it compares the home with similar listings nearby.

What is the average Airbnb occupancy rate in Manta?

Listings in Manta were booked on 23% of available nights over the past year. That compares with 21% for the Manabí average. August is usually the busiest month.

How much does an Airbnb cost per night in Manta?

The average booked night in Manta cost US$92 before fees. Half of listings charge between US$44 and US$115, so bedroom count and location move the price more than the average suggests.

Do you need a permit for an Airbnb in Manta?

None of the active Manta listings display a registration, permit or license number. That doesn't mean no rules apply, so confirm registration, permit and tourist-tax rules with the local authority before buying.

Is Airbnb profitable in Manta?

Yes, when it's run well. The average Manta Airbnb grossed US$4,484 in the 12 months to October 2026, 14% below the Manabí average of US$5,184, counting listings open only part of the year. A listing at the top-quarter mark, run by its owner with the cleaning fee covering the cleaner and everyday costs for Airbnb's fee, utilities, supplies, upkeep and insurance, has about US$570 a month left before the mortgage or rent, so a home that costs less than that to own or rent makes a profit. Check a specific home in the Airbnb estimator.
