Profit
Is an Airbnb in Hillat al Kaws Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Hillat al Kaws Airbnb took in OMR 3,519 in the 12 months to May 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about OMR 220 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 590 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the OMR 150 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about OMR 230 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about OMR 190 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 Hillat al Kaws's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Hillat al Kaws listings are booked on 30% or more of their nights, against 13% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of OMR 65 adds about OMR 647 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge OMR 88 a night or more, against a median of OMR 65. 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 340 a year.
- Open for the busy months. December brought the average listing about OMR 782, against OMR 292 in September, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Hillat al Kaws listings average 4.74 stars, and 19% 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 780 a month, against OMR 290 for the average one.
