Profit
Is an Airbnb in Tatu City Profitable?
Yes, as extra income from a home or room you already have. The average Tatu City Airbnb took in KES 313,952 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 KES 38,900 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 Tatu City's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Tatu City listings are booked on 65% or more of their nights, against 37% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of KES 4,605 adds about KES 46,000 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge KES 6,055 a night or more, against a median of KES 4,605. 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 KES 30,500 a year.
- Open for the busy months. November brought the average listing about KES 144,000, against KES 35,900 in September, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Tatu City listings average 4.87 stars, and 47% 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 KES 52,500 a month, against KES 26,200 for the average one.
