Revenue
Gross bookings per Tena listing averaged $2,962 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Ecuador average: $4,309), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Tena listing brings in $608 in July, its best month, and $263 in October, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 34% 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 5.4 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.

Profit
Yes, as extra income from a home or room you already have. The average Tena Airbnb took in $2,962 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 $360 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.

Nightly rates
The average nightly rate in Tena, known as ADR (average daily rate), was $61 over the past year, about 20% below the Ecuador average of $76. Averaged month by month over the past two years, rates peak in July and August at about $60 and bottom out in September and October at about $48.
Prices span a wide range: the top 10% charge about 5.5 times the rate of the bottom quarter.
August rates run 23% above September's

The 12-month ADR of $61 averages each listing's own rate across its whole year; the monthly points average listings month by month, so the two differ.

A small group of listings earns several times more per open night than the rest.
