Airbnb market data · 202612 months to September 2026
The average Airbnb in Gjakova brought in €2,642 over the 12 months through September 2026, about 19% less than the national average of €3,274.
The short answer
Gjakova earns on price rather than volume. Listings averaged €57 a night and were booked on 28% of available nights, against €49 and 31% for the national average.
Timing matters: in August, usually the best month, the average listing earns about 2.8 times as much as in January, usually the slowest. With only 35 active listings, a few bookings can reorder the months.

Gross bookings per Gjakova listing averaged €2,642 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Kosovo average: €3,274), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Gjakova listing brings in €722 in August, its best month, and €262 in January, its slowest. February runs within 3% of January, so either can be the slowest in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 36% 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 3.8 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
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
Yes, as extra income from a home or room you already have. The average Gjakova Airbnb took in €2,642 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 €300 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.
