Revenue

How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Drapers?

Gross bookings per Drapers listing averaged JMD 3,873,824 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Portland average: JMD 1,909,030), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.

In a typical year, the average Drapers listing brings in JMD 702,000 in December, its best month, and JMD 361,000 in October, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 32% 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 5.5 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn JMD 1,260,000+ a month, about 5.3 times the typical property.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn JMD 543,000 or more, roughly JMD 300,000 a month above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) earn about JMD 240,000 a month.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn JMD 98,300 or less, about 41% 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.

December earns about twice what October does

Average revenue per active listing, by month, September 2024 to August 2026

The dashed line is the average of the months shown, JMD 496,000. Each point is one month as recorded, averaged over the listings active in it. The best and slowest months in the text average each calendar month over the past two years, so they can differ from the highest and lowest points here.

Drapers Airbnb Data by Month

Latest 12 months in the September 2026 data. September's figures are still coming in, so the rows run to August.

July 2026 led on revenue. Nightly rates peaked in January 2026 and bookings in June 2026, so the best-paying month is not always the busiest or the priciest. Across the past two years, December is usually the strongest month.

Averages per active listing in each month. Highlighted: the highest-revenue month of the 12. RevPAR is the month's revenue spread over its nights, booked or not. Booking lead time is the days between booking and check-in, and length of stay the nights per booking, for stays in that month.

The typical Drapers listing earns about JMD 240,000 a month, but one property can land well above or below that. The Airbnb calculator gives a range for a specific address, built from the comparable listings around it.

Profit

Is an Airbnb in Drapers Profitable?

Yes, when it's run well. The average Drapers Airbnb took in JMD 3,873,824 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about JMD 225,000 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 JMD 516,000 a month.

Cleaning it yourself keeps the JMD 178,000 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about JMD 240,000 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about JMD 194,000 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 Drapers's Top Earners Get There

  • More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Drapers listings are booked on 45% or more of their nights, against 24% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of JMD 25,500 adds about JMD 255,000 in bookings.
  • Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge JMD 45,100 a night or more, against a median of JMD 25,500. 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 JMD 370,000 a year.
  • Open for the busy months. In a typical year, December brings the average listing about JMD 702,000, against JMD 361,000 in October, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
  • Reviews that stand out. Drapers listings average 4.73 stars, and 27% 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 JMD 731,000 a month, against JMD 323,000 for the average one.

Occupancy

What Is the Airbnb Occupancy Rate in Drapers?

Drapers listings were booked on 27% of the nights they were open over the past year, in line with the Portland average and 7 percentage points below the Jamaica average (34%). Counting only the listings booked in each month and averaging each month over two years, occupancy stays within a narrow band, from 27% in January to 36% in July.

The busiest tenth of listings are booked about 4.8 times as often as the bottom quarter.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) are booked 67%+ of open nights, 43 points above the median.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) fill 45% or more, roughly three nights a week.
  • Typical properties (median) fill about 24% of open nights.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) fill 14% or less, less than one night a week.

July is usually the busiest month in Drapers, January the quietest

Nightly rates

How Much Does an Airbnb Cost per Night in Drapers?

The average nightly rate in Drapers, known as ADR (average daily rate), was JMD 66,355 over the past year, about twice the Portland average of JMD 33,000 and about 2.3 times the Jamaica average of JMD 28,800. In a typical year, rates peak in December at about JMD 70,000 and bottom out in September and October at about JMD 56,600.

Prices span a wide range: the top 10% charge about 13.4 times the rate of the bottom quarter.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) charge JMD 211,000+ a night, about 8.3 times the median.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) charge JMD 45,100 or more, about JMD 20,000 above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) charge about JMD 25,500 a night.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) charge JMD 15,800 or less, about 62% of the median.

December rates run 24% above September's

Average nightly rate (ADR), by month, September 2024 to August 2026

The dashed line is the average of the months shown, JMD 63,000. The 12-month ADR of JMD 66,355 averages each listing's own rate across its whole year; the monthly points average listings month by month, so the two differ.

What Is the RevPAR for Airbnb in Drapers?

RevPAR, or revenue per available night, divides a listing's income by every night it was open to book, so it rises with both price and bookings. In Drapers it averaged JMD 15,100 over the past year, from about JMD 11,700 in a typical October to about JMD 22,700 in a typical December.

A small group of listings earns several times more per open night than the rest.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn JMD 44,500+ per open night, about 6.7 times the median.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn JMD 15,700 or more, about JMD 9,100 a night above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) earn about JMD 6,650 per open night.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn JMD 3,480 or less, about half of the median.

December RevPAR is about twice October's
