How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Kedawang?
Gross bookings per Kedawang listing averaged RM 19,611 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Kedah average: RM 35,715), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Kedawang listing brings in RM 4,390 in April, its best month, and RM 1,770 in June, its slowest. February runs within 1% of April, so either can come out on top 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%.
Across Kedawang's 22 active listings, monthly revenue by tier:
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn RM 7,890+ a month, about 3.5 times the typical property.
- Strong performers (top 25%) earn RM 4,820 or more, roughly RM 2,600 a month above the median.
- Typical properties (median) earn about RM 2,240 a month.
- Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn RM 1,180 or less, about half 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 Kedawang Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Kedawang Airbnb took in RM 19,611 in the 12 months to September 2026, an average that counts every active listing, including those open only part of the year. A listing in the top quarter took in about RM 42,130, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about RM 2,760 a month of that is left after running costs, so a home that costs less than that to own or rent makes money.
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 Kedawang's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Kedawang listings are booked on 34% or more of their nights, against 18% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of RM 315 adds about RM 3,150 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge RM 540 a night or more, against a median of RM 315. 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 RM 1,930 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, April brings the average listing about RM 4,390, against RM 1,770 in June, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Kedawang listings average 4.75 stars, and 9% 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 RM 3,510 a month, against RM 1,630 for the average one.
