Revenue

How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Wayanad?

Gross bookings per Wayanad listing averaged ₹260,964 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Kerala average: ₹317,982), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.

The average Wayanad listing brought in ₹67,100 in December, its best month, and ₹18,400 in September, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 38% 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 4.9 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn ₹97,800+ a month, about 3.8 times the typical property.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn ₹56,400 or more, roughly ₹31,000 a month above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) earn about ₹25,900 a month.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn ₹11,400 or less, about 44% 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 Wayanad Profitable?

Yes, as extra income from a home or room you already have. The average Wayanad Airbnb took in ₹260,964 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 ₹35,500 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 Wayanad's Top Earners Get There

  • More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Wayanad listings are booked on 30% or more of their nights, against 17% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of ₹5,105 adds about ₹51,000 in bookings.
  • Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge ₹7,515 a night or more, against a median of ₹5,105. 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 ₹25,600 a year.
  • Open for the busy months. December brought the average listing about ₹67,100, against ₹18,400 in September, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
  • Reviews that stand out. Wayanad listings average 4.66 stars, and 23% 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 ₹47,300 a month, against ₹21,700 for the average one.
