Revenue
How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Thiruvananthapuram?
Gross bookings per Thiruvananthapuram listing averaged ₹218,967 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 Thiruvananthapuram listing brings in ₹50,300 in December, its best month, and ₹28,800 in June, its slowest. April runs within 4% of June, so either can be the slowest in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 30% 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 4.7 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn ₹76,200+ a month, about 3.2 times the typical property.
- Strong performers (top 25%) earn ₹47,800 or more, roughly ₹24,000 a month above the median.
- Typical properties (median) earn about ₹23,700 a month.
- Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn ₹10,100 or less, about 43% 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.

Profit
Is an Airbnb in Thiruvananthapuram Profitable?
Yes, as extra income from a home or room you already have. The average Thiruvananthapuram Airbnb took in ₹218,967 in the 12 months to September 2026, counting listings open only part of the year, and a listing in the top quarter, run by its owner at everyday costs, keeps about ₹27,600 a month after running costs.
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 Thiruvananthapuram's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Thiruvananthapuram listings are booked on 46% or more of their nights, against 25% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of ₹2,905 adds about ₹29,100 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge ₹4,255 a night or more, against a median of ₹2,905. 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 ₹21,400 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, December brings the average listing about ₹50,300, against ₹28,800 in June, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Thiruvananthapuram listings average 4.77 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 ₹36,800 a month, against ₹18,200 for the average one.
