Profit
Is an Airbnb in Kampong Luak Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Kampong Luak Airbnb took in RM 18,888 in the 12 months to May 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 33,960, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about RM 1,990 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 Kampong Luak's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Kampong Luak 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 310 adds about RM 3,090 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge RM 345 a night or more, against a median of RM 310. 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 1,710 a year.
- Open for the busy months. May brought the average listing about RM 3,260, against RM 1,650 in November, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Kampong Luak listings average 4.33 stars, and 5% 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 2,830 a month, against RM 1,570 for the average one.
