Profit
Is an Airbnb in Kodaikkanal Profitable?
Yes, as extra income from a home or room you already have. The average Kodaikkanal Airbnb took in ₹219,552 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 ₹29,100 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 Kodaikkanal's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Kodaikkanal listings are booked on 32% or more of their nights, against 18% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of ₹4,900 adds about ₹49,000 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge ₹7,715 a night or more, against a median of ₹4,900. 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. May brought the average listing about ₹62,700, against ₹22,400 in February, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Kodaikkanal listings average 4.75 stars, and 19% 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 ₹39,900 a month, against ₹18,300 for the average one.
