How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Sylt?
Gross bookings per Sylt listing averaged €11,014 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Schleswig-Holstein average: €10,303), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Sylt listing brings in €3,120 in August, its best month, and €790 in January, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 40% 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 4.7 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn €3,650+ a month, about 2.8 times the typical property.
- Strong performers (top 25%) earn €2,440 or more, roughly €1,100 a month above the median.
- Typical properties (median) earn about €1,300 a month.
- Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn €514 or less, about 40% 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 Sylt Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Sylt Airbnb took in €11,014 in the 12 months to September 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 €980 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the €1,900 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about €680 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about €440 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 Sylt's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Sylt listings are booked on 54% or more of their nights, against 24% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of €155 adds about €1,570 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge €230 a night or more, against a median of €155. 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 €910 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, August brings the average listing about €3,120, against €790 in January, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Sylt listings average 4.75 stars, and 16% 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 €1,720 a month, against €920 for the average one.
