How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Gießen?
Gross bookings per Gießen listing averaged €9,134 over the 12 months to October 2026 (Hesse average: €10,651), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Gießen listing brings in €1,310 in October, its best month, and €1,010 in February, its slowest. Both ends are close calls: October leads July by 3%, and February sits just 4% below November, so either pair can swap places in a given year. The swing is mild: the best month earns about 31% more than the slowest.
In a typical month, a top-quarter listing earns at least 3.9 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn €2,280+ a month, about 2.4 times the typical property.
- Strong performers (top 25%) earn €1,710 or more, roughly €760 a month above the median.
- Typical properties (median) earn about €954 a month.
- Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn €436 or less, about 46% 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.

Profit
Is an Airbnb in Gießen Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Gießen Airbnb took in €9,134 in the 12 months to October 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about €520 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 €930 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the €640 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 €450 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 Gießen's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Gießen listings are booked on 57% or more of their nights, against 36% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of €79 adds about €789 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge €110 a night or more, against a median of €79. 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 €850 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, October brings the average listing about €1,310, against €1,010 in February, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Gießen listings average 4.75 stars, and 31% 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 €1,360 a month, against €760 for the average one.
