Revenue

How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Alençon?

Gross bookings per Alençon listing averaged €9,236 over the 12 months to October 2026 (Normandy average: €14,028), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.

In a typical year, the average Alençon listing brings in €1,220 in July, its best month, and €759 in January, its slowest. Both ends are close calls: July leads August by 5%, and January sits just 2% below February, so either pair can swap places in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 31% 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 3.1 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn €1,880+ a month, about 2.1 times the typical property.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn €1,350 or more, roughly €470 a month above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) earn about €877 a month.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn €424 or less, about half 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 1.6 times what January does

Profit

Is an Airbnb in Alençon Profitable?

Yes, when it's run well. The average Alençon Airbnb took in €9,236 in the 12 months to October 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about €530 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 €830 a month.

Cleaning it yourself keeps the €470 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about €570 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about €460 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 Alençon's Top Earners Get There

  • More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Alençon listings are booked on 61% or more of their nights, against 40% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of €67 adds about €674 in bookings.
  • Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge €85 a night or more, against a median of €67. 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 €880 a year.
  • Open for the busy months. In a typical year, July brings the average listing about €1,220, against €759 in January, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
  • Reviews that stand out. Alençon listings average 4.78 stars, and 48% 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 €1,190 a month, against €770 for the average one.

Occupancy

Nightly rates

How Much Does an Airbnb Cost per Night in Alençon?

The top 10% charge about twice the rate of the bottom quarter.

  • Strong performers (top 25%) charge €85 or more, about €18 above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) charge about €67 a night.

The dashed line is the average of the months shown, €70. The 12-month ADR of €76 averages each listing's own rate across its whole year; the monthly points average listings month by month, so the two differ.

What Is the RevPAR for Airbnb in Alençon?

RevPAR, or revenue per available night, divides a listing's income by every night it was open to book, so it rises with both price and bookings. In Alençon it averaged €31 over the past year, from about €24 in a typical January to about €39 in a typical July.

Per open night, by tier:

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn €49+ per open night, about 1.7 times the median.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn €40 or more, about €12 a night above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) earn about €28 per open night.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn €16 or less, about 58% of the median.

Permits

Airbnb Permits and Registration in Alençon

1% of the 132 active listings in Alençon display a registration, permit or license number. A low share 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 Alençon.
