In a typical year, the average Leiden listing brings in €3,670 in July, its best month, and €1,890 in January, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 31% of a full year's revenue, where an even calendar would give any three months 25%.

- Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn €1,690 or less, about 62% of the median.

Leiden 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 August 2026 and bookings in April 2026, so the best-paying month is not always the busiest or the priciest.

Averages per active listing in each month. Highlighted: the highest-revenue month of the 12. RevPAR is the month's revenue spread over its nights, booked or not. Booking lead time is the days between booking and check-in, and length of stay the nights per booking, for stays in that month.
The typical Leiden listing earns about €2,740 a month, but one property can land well above or below that. The Airbnb income calculator gives a range for a specific address, built from the comparable listings around it.
Profit
Is an Airbnb in Leiden Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Leiden Airbnb took in €21,212 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about €1,250 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 €1,730 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the €1,120 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about €1,350 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about €1,090 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 Leiden's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Leiden listings are booked on 82% or more of their nights, against 65% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of €145 adds about €1,470 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge €205 a night or more, against a median of €145. 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 €2,010 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, July brings the average listing about €3,670, against €1,890 in January, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Leiden listings average 4.84 stars, and 50% 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 €2,430 a month, against €1,770 for the average one.

How much does an Airbnb cost per night in Leiden?

Do you need a permit for an Airbnb in Leiden?

Is Airbnb profitable in Leiden?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Leiden Airbnb grossed €21,212 in the 12 months to September 2026, in line with the South Holland average. Run by its owner, with the cleaning fee covering the cleaner and everyday costs for Airbnb's fee, utilities, supplies, upkeep and insurance, €15,042 a year (about €1,250 a month) is left before the mortgage or rent. A home that costs less than that to own or rent makes a profit, and a listing at the top-quarter mark leaves about €1,730 a month. Check a specific home in the Airbnb estimator.
