How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in El Cuyo?
Gross bookings per El Cuyo listing averaged MX$194,166 over the 12 months to October 2026 (Yucatán average: MX$184,687), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average El Cuyo listing brings in MX$30,600 in April, its best month, and MX$16,100 in September, its slowest. Both ends are close calls: April leads March by 3%, and September sits just 3% below October, so either pair can swap places in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 31% 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$57,300+ a month, about four times the typical property.
- Strong performers (top 25%) earn MX$30,700 or more, roughly MX$17,000 a month above the median.
- Typical properties (median) earn about MX$14,000 a month.
- Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn MX$6,230 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.

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

Profit
Is an Airbnb in El Cuyo Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average El Cuyo Airbnb took in MX$194,166 in the 12 months to October 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about MX$11,300 a month of that is left after running costs, so a home that costs less than that to own or rent makes money. A listing in the top quarter leaves about MX$25,000 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the MX$10,200 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about MX$12,200 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about MX$9,800 a month.
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 El Cuyo's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of El Cuyo listings are booked on 44% or more of their nights, against 24% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of MX$1,740 adds about MX$17,400 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge MX$2,575 a night or more, against a median of MX$1,740. 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$18,400 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, April brings the average listing about MX$30,600, against MX$16,100 in September, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. El Cuyo listings average 4.70 stars, and 18% 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$35,400 a month, against MX$16,200 for the average one.
