Profit
Is an Airbnb in Bethlehem Profitable?
Yes, as extra income from a home or room you already have. The average Bethlehem Airbnb took in ₪3,859 in the 12 months to March 2026, counting listings open only part of the year, and a listing in the top quarter, run by its owner at everyday costs, keeps about ₪650 a month after running costs.
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 Bethlehem's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Bethlehem listings are booked on 34% or more of their nights, against 12% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of ₪160 adds about ₪1,620 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge ₪260 a night or more, against a median of ₪160. 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 ₪360 a year.
- Open for the busy months. April brought the average listing about ₪1,540, against ₪542 in July, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Bethlehem listings average 4.84 stars, and 0% 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 ₪850 a month, against ₪320 for the average one.
