How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Donegal?
Gross bookings per Donegal listing averaged €17,586 over the 12 months to September 2026 (County Donegal average: €18,312), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
The average Donegal listing brought in €4,700 in August, its best month, and €725 in January, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 46% 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 2.8 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn €4,230+ a month, about 2.4 times the typical property.

- Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn €958 or less, about half 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 Donegal Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Donegal Airbnb took in €17,586 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about €1,010 a month of that is left after running costs, so a home that costs less than that to own or rent makes money. A listing in the top quarter leaves about €1,560 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the €1,320 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about €1,120 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about €880 a month.
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 Donegal's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Donegal listings are booked on 46% or more of their nights, against 35% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of €185 adds about €1,840 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge €255 a night or more, against a median of €185. 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 €1,630 a year.
- Open for the busy months. August brought the average listing about €4,700, against €725 in January, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Donegal listings average 4.90 stars, and 55% 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 €2,230 a month, against €1,470 for the average one.

Yes, when it's run well. The average Donegal Airbnb grossed €17,586 in the 12 months to September 2026, in line with the County Donegal average. Run by its owner, with the cleaning fee covering the cleaner and everyday costs for Airbnb's fee, utilities, supplies, upkeep and insurance, €12,146 a year (about €1,010 a month) is left before the mortgage or rent. A home that costs less than that to own or rent makes a profit, and a listing at the top-quarter mark leaves about €1,560 a month. Check a specific home in the Airbnb estimator.
