Gross bookings per Copan Ruinas listing averaged L 105,827 over the 12 months to October 2026 (Honduras average: L 234,149), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
The average Copan Ruinas listing brought in L 24,600 in December, its best month, and L 10,000 in February, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 32% of a full year's revenue, where an even calendar would give any three months 25%.

Profit
Yes, when it's run well. The average Copan Ruinas Airbnb took in L 105,827 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 L 249,200, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about L 14,600 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.
