Revenue

How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Tatu City?

Gross bookings per Tatu City listing averaged KES 313,952 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Kiambu County average: KES 218,357), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.

The average Tatu City listing brought in KES 144,000 in November, its best month, and KES 35,900 in September, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 41% 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 3.5 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn KES 144,000+ a month, about 2.7 times the typical property.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn KES 107,000 or more, roughly KES 54,000 a month above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) earn about KES 53,300 a month.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn KES 29,700 or less, about 56% 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 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.

Permits

Airbnb Permits and Registration in Tatu City

None of the 47 active listings in Tatu City display a registration, permit or license number. That doesn't mean no rules apply: some places don't ask hosts to show a number on the listing, and listing data doesn't capture every scheme.
