Profit
Is an Airbnb in Sukuta Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Sukuta Airbnb took in GMD 411,749 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 GMD 779,900, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about GMD 48,000 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 Sukuta's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Sukuta listings are booked on 54% or more of their nights, against 35% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of GMD 4,590 adds about GMD 45,900 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge GMD 7,095 a night or more, against a median of GMD 4,590. 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 GMD 40,300 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, January brings the average listing about GMD 103,000, against GMD 47,400 in September, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Sukuta listings average 4.75 stars, and 23% 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 GMD 65,000 a month, against GMD 34,300 for the average one.
