How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Bø?
Gross bookings per Bø listing averaged kr 69,191 over the 12 months to October 2026 (Vestfold og Telemark average: kr 139,943), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Bø listing brings in kr 30,300 in July, its best month, and kr 4,360 in November, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 42% of a full year's revenue, where an even calendar would give any three months 25%.
Across Bø's 23 active listings, monthly revenue by tier:
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn kr 28,700+ a month, about three times the typical property.
- Strong performers (top 25%) earn kr 17,900 or more, roughly kr 8,000 a month above the median.
- Typical properties (median) earn about kr 9,880 a month.
- Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn kr 5,160 or less, about half 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.

Profit
Is an Airbnb in Bø Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Bø Airbnb took in kr 69,191 in the 12 months to October 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 kr 125,150, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about kr 7,340 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 Bø's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Bø listings are booked on 33% or more of their nights, against 19% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of kr 1,660 adds about kr 16,600 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge kr 2,135 a night or more, against a median of kr 1,660. 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 kr 6,280 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, July brings the average listing about kr 30,300, against kr 4,360 in November, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Bø listings average 4.81 stars, and 52% 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 kr 10,430 a month, against kr 5,770 for the average one.
