Revenue
How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Chapala?
Gross bookings per Chapala listing averaged MX$110,822 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Jalisco average: MX$235,286), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Chapala listing brings in MX$19,100 in July, its best month, and MX$11,600 in September, its slowest. December runs within 3% of July, so either can come out on top in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 30% 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 4.9 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn MX$33,400+ a month, about 3.5 times the typical property.
- Strong performers (top 25%) earn MX$19,800 or more, roughly MX$10,000 a month above the median.
- Typical properties (median) earn about MX$9,660 a month.
- Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn MX$4,010 or less, about 42% 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.

Chapala Airbnb Data by Month
Latest 12 months in the September 2026 data. September's figures are still coming in, so the rows run to August.
July 2026 led on revenue. Nightly rates peaked in June 2026 and bookings in February 2026, so the best-paying month is not always the busiest or the priciest.

Profit
Is an Airbnb in Chapala Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Chapala Airbnb took in MX$110,822 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 MX$227,700, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about MX$13,700 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 Chapala's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Chapala listings are booked on 43% or more of their nights, against 22% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of MX$1,390 adds about MX$13,900 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge MX$2,175 a night or more, against a median of MX$1,390. 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 MX$10,500 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, July brings the average listing about MX$19,100, against MX$11,600 in September, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Chapala listings average 4.78 stars, and 40% 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 MX$19,000 a month, against MX$9,200 for the average one.

How much does an Airbnb cost per night in Chapala?
The average booked night in Chapala cost MX$1,973 before fees. Half of listings charge between MX$900 and MX$2,175, so bedroom count and location move the price more than the average suggests.
Do you need a permit for an Airbnb in Chapala?
None of the active Chapala listings display a registration, permit or license number. That doesn't mean no rules apply, so confirm registration, permit and tourist-tax rules with the local authority before buying.
Is Airbnb profitable in Chapala?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Chapala Airbnb grossed MX$110,822 in the 12 months to September 2026, 53% below the Jalisco average of MX$235,286, 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 MX$13,700 a month left before the mortgage or rent, so a home that costs less than that to own or rent makes a profit.
