Gross bookings per Malongane listing averaged MZN 1,105,281 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Maputo Province average: MZN 896,140), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Malongane listing brings in MZN 233,000 in December, its best month, and MZN 96,400 in May, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 35% of a full year's revenue, where an even calendar would give any three months 25%.

Profit
Yes, when it's run well. The average Malongane Airbnb took in MZN 1,105,281 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about MZN 70,000 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 MZN 147,000 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the MZN 27,000 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about MZN 72,000 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about MZN 61,000 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.
