The average West Bay listing brought in L 141,000 in July, its best month, and L 51,200 in September, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 33% of a full year's revenue, where an even calendar would give any three months 25%.

July 2026 led on revenue. Nightly rates peaked in January 2026 and bookings in February 2026, so the best-paying month is not always the busiest or the priciest.

Averages per active listing in each month. Highlighted: the highest-revenue month of the 12. RevPAR is the month's revenue spread over its nights, booked or not. Booking lead time is the days between booking and check-in, and length of stay the nights per booking, for stays in that month.

Profit
Yes, when it's run well. The average West Bay Airbnb took in L 721,657 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about L 42,000 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 L 94,000 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the L 46,300 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about L 45,900 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about L 36,400 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.
