Profit
Is an Airbnb in Gulen Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Gulen Airbnb took in kr 130,474 in the 12 months to April 2025, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about kr 7,900 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 kr 14,700 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 Gulen's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Gulen listings are booked on 44% or more of their nights, against 21% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of kr 1,315 adds about kr 13,100 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge kr 1,930 a night or more, against a median of kr 1,315. 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 13,000 a year.
- Open for the busy months. May brought the average listing about kr 31,800, against kr 11,500 in April, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
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 19,900 a month, against kr 10,900 for the average one.
