Profit
Is an Airbnb in Borgarnes Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Borgarnes Airbnb took in kr 5,366,341 in the 12 months to October 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about kr 303,000 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 kr 484,000 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the kr 314,000 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about kr 329,000 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about kr 261,000 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.

How Borgarnes's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Borgarnes listings are booked on 67% or more of their nights, against 46% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of kr 32,800 adds about kr 328,000 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge kr 47,600 a night or more, against a median of kr 32,800. 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 kr 505,000 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, August brings the average listing about kr 1,070,000, against kr 331,000 in November, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Borgarnes listings average 4.85 stars, and 49% 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 kr 709,000 a month, against kr 447,000 for the average one.
