Profit
Is an Airbnb in Hønefoss Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Hønefoss Airbnb took in kr 71,509 in the 12 months to August 2025, 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 136,790, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about kr 8,400 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 Hønefoss's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Hønefoss listings are booked on 43% or more of their nights, against 25% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of kr 840 adds about kr 8,380 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge kr 1,110 a night or more, against a median of kr 840. 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 7,150 a year.
- Open for the busy months. December brought the average listing about kr 14,000, against kr 5,650 in November, 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 11,400 a month, against kr 5,960 for the average one.
