How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Kantari?

Gross bookings per Kantari listing averaged $10,923 over the 12 months to April 2026 (Beirut Governorate average: $7,916), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.

The average Kantari listing brought in $3,100 in July, its best month, and $592 in May, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 44% of a full year's revenue, where an even calendar would give any three months 25%.

Across Kantari's 18 active listings, monthly revenue by tier:

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn $3,040+ a month, about 2.6 times the typical property.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn $1,940 or more, roughly $770 a month above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) earn about $1,170 a month.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn $755 or less, about two-thirds 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 Kantari Profitable?

Yes, when it's run well. The average Kantari Airbnb took in $10,923 in the 12 months to April 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $640 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 $1,060 a month.

Cleaning it yourself keeps the $410 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about $670 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about $550 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.

How Kantari's Top Earners Get There

  • More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Kantari listings are booked on 54% or more of their nights, against 37% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of $110 adds about $1,090 in bookings.
  • Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge $145 a night or more, against a median of $110. 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 $1,050 a year.
  • Open for the busy months. July brought the average listing about $3,100, against $592 in May, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
  • Reviews that stand out. Kantari listings average 4.78 stars, and 0% 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 $1,510 a month, against $910 for the average one.
