How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Bintulu?
Gross bookings per Bintulu listing averaged RM 18,009 over the 12 months to October 2026 (Sarawak average: RM 18,746), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Bintulu listing brings in RM 3,410 in July, its best month, and RM 1,760 in November, its slowest. January runs within 1% of November, so either can be the slowest in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 33% 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 4.2 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn RM 5,740+ a month, about 3.1 times the typical property.
- Strong performers (top 25%) earn RM 3,530 or more, roughly RM 1,700 a month above the median.
- Typical properties (median) earn about RM 1,830 a month.
- Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn RM 832 or less, about 45% 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.

July 2026 led on revenue. Nightly rates peaked in May 2026 and bookings in December 2025, so the best-paying month is not always the busiest or the priciest.

Profit
Is an Airbnb in Bintulu Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Bintulu Airbnb took in RM 18,009 in the 12 months to October 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 34,670, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about RM 2,060 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 Bintulu's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Bintulu listings are booked on 37% or more of their nights, against 19% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of RM 305 adds about RM 3,070 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge RM 415 a night or more, against a median of RM 305. 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 1,730 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, July brings the average listing about RM 3,410, against RM 1,760 in November, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Bintulu listings average 4.73 stars, and 21% 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 2,890 a month, against RM 1,500 for the average one.

Yes, when it's run well. The average Bintulu Airbnb grossed RM 18,009 in the 12 months to October 2026, in line with the Sarawak average, counting listings open only part of the year. A listing at the top-quarter mark, run by its owner with the cleaning fee covering the cleaner and everyday costs for Airbnb's fee, utilities, supplies, upkeep and insurance, has about RM 2,060 a month left before the mortgage or rent, so a home that costs less than that to own or rent makes a profit.
