Revenue

How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Cheras?

Gross bookings per Cheras listing averaged RM 18,767 over the 12 months to October 2026 (Kuala Lumpur Federal Territory average: RM 30,192), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.

The average Cheras listing brought in RM 3,540 in July, its best month, and RM 1,760 in October, its slowest. 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 4.1 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.

Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn RM 5,000+ a month, about 2.7 times the typical property.
Strong performers (top 25%) earn RM 3,320 or more, roughly RM 1,500 a month above the median.
Typical properties (median) earn about RM 1,830 a month.
Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn RM 810 or less, about 44% 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.

Cheras Airbnb Data by Month

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

Profit

Is an Airbnb in Cheras Profitable?

Yes, when it's run well. The average Cheras Airbnb took in RM 18,767 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 34,000, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about RM 1,930 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 Cheras's Top Earners Get There

More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Cheras listings are booked on 53% or more of their nights, against 30% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of RM 195 adds about RM 1,970 in bookings.
Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge RM 260 a night or more, against a median of RM 195. 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 1,750 a year.
Open for the busy months. July brought the average listing about RM 3,540, against RM 1,760 in October, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
Reviews that stand out. Cheras listings average 4.69 stars, and 26% 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 1,560 for the average one.

Permits

Airbnb Permits and Registration in Cheras
