How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in La Esperanza?
Gross bookings per La Esperanza listing averaged L 115,467 over the 12 months to October 2026 (Honduras average: L 234,149), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average La Esperanza listing brings in L 31,200 in December, its best month, and L 13,700 in June, its slowest. August runs within 4% of June, so either can be the slowest in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 35% of a full year's revenue, where an even calendar would give any three months 25%.
Across La Esperanza's 29 active listings, monthly revenue by tier:
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn L 46,100+ a month, about 4.4 times the typical property.

- Typical properties (median) earn about L 10,400 a month.
- Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn L 5,240 or less, about half of the median.

Profit
Is an Airbnb in La Esperanza Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average La Esperanza Airbnb took in L 115,467 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 266,300, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about L 16,400 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 La Esperanza's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of La Esperanza listings are booked on 25% or more of their nights, against 12% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of L 1,830 adds about L 18,300 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge L 4,945 a night or more, against a median of L 1,830. 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 L 11,300 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, December brings the average listing about L 31,200, against L 13,700 in June, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. La Esperanza listings average 4.80 stars, and 38% 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 L 22,200 a month, against L 9,600 for the average one.
