How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Syokimau?
Gross bookings per Syokimau listing averaged KES 304,512 over the 12 months to October 2026 (Machakos County average: KES 317,387), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Syokimau listing brings in KES 60,500 in July, its best month, and KES 32,400 in April, its slowest. November runs within 1% of April, so either can be the slowest in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 31% 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 5.2 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn KES 103,000+ a month, about 2.8 times the typical property.
- Strong performers (top 25%) earn KES 67,400 or more, roughly KES 30,000 a month above the median.
- Typical properties (median) earn about KES 37,000 a month.
- Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn KES 12,900 or less, about a third 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 Syokimau Profitable?
Yes, as extra income from a home or room you already have. The average Syokimau Airbnb took in KES 304,512 in the 12 months to October 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 33,200 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 Syokimau's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Syokimau listings are booked on 49% or more of their nights, against 26% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of KES 4,210 adds about KES 42,100 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge KES 5,880 a night or more, against a median of KES 4,210. 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 29,300 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, July brings the average listing about KES 60,500, against KES 32,400 in April, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Syokimau listings average 4.77 stars, and 35% 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 46,200 a month, against KES 25,400 for the average one.
