How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Cobán?
Gross bookings per Cobán listing averaged Q 38,284 over the 12 months to October 2026 (Guatemala average: Q 80,592), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Cobán listing brings in Q 5,730 in June, its best month, and Q 3,340 in October, its slowest. Both ends are close calls: June leads December by 2%, and October sits just 3% 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 4.6 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn Q 11,100+ a month, about 3.7 times the typical property.
- Strong performers (top 25%) earn Q 6,390 or more, roughly Q 3,400 a month above the median.
- Typical properties (median) earn about Q 3,040 a month.
- Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn Q 1,360 or less, about 45% 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.

Cobán Airbnb Data by Month
Latest 12 months in the October 2026 data. October's figures are still coming in, so the rows run to September.

Profit
Is an Airbnb in Cobán Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Cobán Airbnb took in Q 38,284 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 Q 80,460, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about Q 4,720 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 Cobán's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Cobán listings are booked on 42% or more of their nights, against 22% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of Q 400 adds about Q 3,980 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge Q 565 a night or more, against a median of Q 400. 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 Q 3,670 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, June brings the average listing about Q 5,730, against Q 3,340 in October, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Cobán listings average 4.74 stars, and 19% 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 Q 6,710 a month, against Q 3,190 for the average one.
