Airbnb market data · 202612 months to October 2026
The average Airbnb in Coban brought in Q 20,153 over the 12 months through October 2026, about 75% less than the national average of Q 80,592.
The short answer
Rates and bookings both trail the national average. Listings averaged Q 448 a night and were booked on 25% of available nights, against Q 900 and 33% for the national average.
Timing matters: in December, the best month, the average listing earned about 3.2 times as much as in October, the slowest. With only 49 active listings, a few bookings can reorder the months.

Gross bookings per Coban listing averaged Q 20,153 over the 12 months to October 2026 (Guatemala average: Q 80,592), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
The average Coban listing brought in Q 5,110 in December, its best month, and Q 1,610 in October, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 35% 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 3.5 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
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.

December 2025 led on revenue. Nightly rates peaked in May 2026 and bookings in November 2025, so the best-paying month is not always the busiest or the priciest.

Profit
Yes, as extra income from a home or room you already have. The average Coban Airbnb took in Q 20,153 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 Q 2,300 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.
