The average Raub listing brought in RM 4,780 in September, its best month, and RM 1,050 in November, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 41% of a full year's revenue, where an even calendar would give any three months 25%.
Across Raub's 18 active listings, monthly revenue by tier:

Raub Airbnb Data by Month
Latest 12 months in the April 2026 data.
September led on revenue. Nightly rates peaked in March and bookings in May, so the best-paying month is not always the busiest or the priciest.

Averages per active listing in each month. Highlighted: the highest-revenue month. RevPAR is the month's revenue spread over its nights, booked or not. Booking lead time is the days between booking and check-in, and length of stay the nights per booking, for stays in that month. *Apr 2026 is the latest month and looks incomplete: its occupancy sits well below the calendar months either side of it, as the latest month often does before late bookings are recorded. It may be revised and is not counted as a best or worst month.

Profit
Is an Airbnb in Raub Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Raub Airbnb took in RM 15,295 in the 12 months to April 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 24,810, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about RM 1,640 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 Raub's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Raub listings are booked on 19% or more of their nights, against 14% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of RM 400 adds about RM 3,990 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge RM 515 a night or more, against a median of RM 400. 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 1,500 a year.
- Open for the busy months. September brought the average listing about RM 4,780, against RM 1,050 in November, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Raub listings average 4.78 stars, and 17% 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 2,070 a month, against RM 1,270 for the average one.
