Gross bookings per Malaybalay listing averaged ₱142,166 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Philippines average: ₱278,920), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Malaybalay listing brings in ₱29,800 in December, its best month, and ₱13,600 in November, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 33% 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 3.7 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
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.
December earns about 2.2 times what November does
Average revenue per active listing, by month, September 2024 to August 2026
The dashed line is the average of the months shown, ₱19,900. Each point is one month as recorded, averaged over the listings active in it. The best and slowest months in the text average each calendar month over the past two years, so they can differ from the highest and lowest points here.
Latest 12 months in the September 2026 data. September's figures are still coming in, so the rows run to August.
July 2026 led on revenue. Nightly rates peaked in May 2026 and bookings in December 2025, so the best-paying month is not always the busiest or the priciest. Across the past two years, December is usually the strongest month.

Location, size and how a home is run move its income far more than a city average shows. For a range on one Malaybalay address, run it through the Airbnb profit calculator.
Profit
Yes, as extra income from a home or room you already have. The average Malaybalay Airbnb took in ₱142,166 in the 12 months to September 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 ₱15,000 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.

Permits
None of the 59 active listings in Malaybalay display a registration, permit or license number. That doesn't mean no rules apply: some places don't ask hosts to show a number on the listing, and listing data doesn't capture every scheme.
Registration, permit, zoning and tourist-tax rules vary by address and change often, so confirm them with the local authority before buying or listing in Malaybalay.
