Profit
Is an Airbnb in Gombato Bongwe ward Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Gombato Bongwe ward Airbnb took in KES 1,500,567 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about KES 94,000 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 KES 267,000 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the KES 39,000 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about KES 98,000 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about KES 82,000 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.
