How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Kotagiri?
Gross bookings per Kotagiri listing averaged ₹436,026 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Tamil Nadu average: ₹383,237), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Kotagiri listing brings in ₹108,000 in May, its best month, and ₹41,600 in February, its slowest. December runs within 4% of May, so either can come out on top in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 37% 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 five times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn ₹151,000+ a month, about four times the typical property.
- Strong performers (top 25%) earn ₹84,200 or more, roughly ₹47,000 a month above the median.
- Typical properties (median) earn about ₹37,100 a month.
- Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn ₹16,800 or less, about 45% 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 Kotagiri Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Kotagiri Airbnb took in ₹436,026 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 ₹989,800, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about ₹63,200 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.

How Kotagiri's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Kotagiri listings are booked on 26% or more of their nights, against 16% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of ₹7,905 adds about ₹79,000 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge ₹16,100 a night or more, against a median of ₹7,905. 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 ₹43,000 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, May brings the average listing about ₹108,000, against ₹41,600 in February, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Kotagiri listings average 4.65 stars, and 15% 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 ₹82,500 a month, against ₹36,300 for the average one.

What is the average Airbnb occupancy rate in Kotagiri?
Listings in Kotagiri were booked on 19% of available nights over the past year. That compares with 27% for the Tamil Nadu average. December is usually the busiest month.
How much does an Airbnb cost per night in Kotagiri?
The average booked night in Kotagiri cost ₹10,468 before fees. Half of listings charge between ₹4,975 and ₹16,100, so bedroom count and location move the price more than the average suggests.
Do you need a permit for an Airbnb in Kotagiri?
None of the active Kotagiri listings display a registration, permit or license number. That doesn't mean no rules apply, so confirm registration, permit and tourist-tax rules with the local authority before buying.
Is Airbnb profitable in Kotagiri?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Kotagiri Airbnb grossed ₹436,026 in the 12 months to September 2026, 14% above the Tamil Nadu average of ₹383,237, counting listings open only part of the year. A listing at the top-quarter mark, run by its owner with the cleaning fee covering the cleaner and everyday costs for Airbnb's fee, utilities, supplies, upkeep and insurance, has about ₹63,200 a month left before the mortgage or rent, so a home that costs less than that to own or rent makes a profit. Check a specific home in the Airbnb estimator.
