Profit
Is an Airbnb in El Matar Profitable?
Yes, as extra income from a home or room you already have. The average El Matar Airbnb took in E£130,693 in the 12 months to October 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 E£14,100 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.

How El Matar's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of El Matar listings are booked on 50% or more of their nights, against 28% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of E£2,285 adds about E£22,900 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge E£3,230 a night or more, against a median of E£2,285. 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 E£12,200 a year.
- Open for the busy months. December brought the average listing about E£37,300, against E£16,100 in June, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. El Matar listings average 4.64 stars, and 21% 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 E£20,600 a month, against E£10,900 for the average one.
