Gross bookings per El Garitón listing averaged Q 108,202 over the 12 months to October 2026 (Santa Rosa average: Q 124,902), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average El Garitón listing brings in Q 21,800 in December, its best month, and Q 7,880 in October, its slowest. April runs within 5% of December, so either can come out on top in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 36% 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 3.7 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 earns about 2.8 times what October does

Profit
Yes, when it's run well. The average El Garitón Airbnb took in Q 108,202 in the 12 months to October 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about Q 6,400 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 Q 11,700 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the Q 3,600 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about Q 6,700 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about Q 5,500 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.

Registration, permit, zoning and tourist-tax rules vary by address and change often, so confirm them with the local authority before buying or listing in El Garitón.
