Gross bookings per Ilado listing averaged ₦6,359,867 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Lagos State average: ₦7,785,757), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Ilado listing brings in ₦1,970,000 in December, its best month, and ₦886,000 in September, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 32% 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 4.7 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
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.

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 Ilado listing earns about ₦889,000 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
Yes, when it's run well. The average Ilado Airbnb took in ₦6,359,867 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 ₦12,889,000, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about ₦824,000 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.

The 12-month rate of 26% averages each listing's whole year, slow months included; each month here counts only the listings booked in it.
Nightly rates
The average nightly rate in Ilado, known as ADR (average daily rate), was ₦152,707 over the past year, about the same as the Lagos State average (₦147,000) and about 18% above the Nigeria average of ₦129,000. Averaged month by month over the past two years, rates peak in June and December at about ₦152,000 and bottom out in September and October at about ₦135,000.
Prices span a wide range: the top 10% charge about 3.4 times the rate of the bottom quarter.
December rates run 13% above September's

The dashed line is the average of the months shown, ₦144,000. The 12-month ADR of ₦152,707 averages each listing's own rate across its whole year; the monthly points average listings month by month, so the two differ.
RevPAR, or revenue per available night, divides a listing's income by every night it was open to book, so it rises with both price and bookings. In Ilado it averaged ₦40,100 over the past year, from about ₦29,500 in a typical September to about ₦63,700 in a typical December.

Permits
None of the 110 active listings in Ilado display a registration, permit or license number. That doesn't mean no rules apply: some places don't ask hosts to show a number on the listing, and listing data doesn't capture every scheme.
Registration, permit, zoning and tourist-tax rules vary by address and change often, so confirm them with the local authority before buying or listing in Ilado.

FAQ
An active Ilado Airbnb grossed ₦6,359,867 on average in the 12 months to September 2026, according to AirROI's tracking of 110 active listings. That is before cleaning, management, taxes and financing. Busier, better-run listings do far better: the top quarter took in ₦1,800,000 or more in a typical month.
It depends most on the home's size, location and how it's run. The middle half of Ilado listings earn between ₦382,000 and ₦1,800,000 in a typical month, and the top tenth ₦3,220,000 or more.

The average booked night in Ilado cost ₦152,707 before fees. Half of listings charge between ₦82,500 and ₦209,000, so bedroom count and location move the price more than the average suggests.

Yes, when it's run well. The average Ilado Airbnb grossed ₦6,359,867 in the 12 months to September 2026, 18% below the Lagos State average of ₦7,785,757, 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 ₦824,000 a month left before the mortgage or rent, so a home that costs less than that to own or rent makes a profit. Check a specific home in the Airbnb estimator.
