How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Hella?
Gross bookings per Hella listing averaged kr 7,601,622 over the 12 months to October 2026 (Iceland average: kr 4,950,477), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Hella listing brings in kr 1,310,000 in July, its best month, and kr 449,000 in January, its slowest. August runs within 2% of July, so either can come out on top in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 40% 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 three times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn kr 1,620,000+ a month, about 2.6 times the typical property.
- Strong performers (top 25%) earn kr 1,050,000 or more, roughly kr 440,000 a month above the median.

- Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn kr 350,000 or less, about 57% of the median.
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.

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
Is an Airbnb in Hella Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Hella Airbnb took in kr 7,601,622 in the 12 months to October 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about kr 430,000 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 747,000 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the kr 427,000 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about kr 465,000 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about kr 370,000 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 Hella's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Hella listings are booked on 70% or more of their nights, against 51% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of kr 38,500 adds about kr 385,000 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge kr 56,700 a night or more, against a median of kr 38,500. 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 717,000 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, July brings the average listing about kr 1,310,000, against kr 449,000 in January, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Hella listings average 4.88 stars, and 64% 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 1,091,000 a month, against kr 633,000 for the average one.
