How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Barka?
Gross bookings per Barka listing averaged OMR 3,993 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Oman average: OMR 2,707), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Barka listing brings in OMR 819 in December, its best month, and OMR 441 in May, 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%.
In a typical month, a top-quarter listing earns at least 4.3 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn OMR 1,290+ a month, about 2.8 times the typical property.
- Strong performers (top 25%) earn OMR 876 or more, roughly OMR 410 a month above the median.
- Typical properties (median) earn about OMR 466 a month.
- Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn OMR 202 or less, about 43% 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 Barka Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Barka Airbnb took in OMR 3,993 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about OMR 240 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 OMR 460 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the OMR 120 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about OMR 250 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about OMR 210 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 Barka's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Barka listings are booked on 38% or more of their nights, against 22% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of OMR 68 adds about OMR 684 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge OMR 88 a night or more, against a median of OMR 68. 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 OMR 390 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, December brings the average listing about OMR 819, against OMR 441 in May, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Barka listings average 4.75 stars, and 13% 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 OMR 630 a month, against OMR 330 for the average one.
