Gross bookings per Munnar listing averaged ₹368,340 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Kerala average: ₹317,982), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Munnar listing brings in ₹87,600 in December, its best month, and ₹58,700 in July, its slowest. June runs within 3% of July, so either can be the slowest in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 29% 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 6.5 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
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.
December earns about 1.5 times what July does

Profit
Yes, when it's run well. The average Munnar Airbnb took in ₹368,340 in the 12 months to September 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 ₹1,147,700, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about ₹74,200 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.
