How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Samal?
Gross bookings per Samal listing averaged ₱523,316 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 Samal listing brings in ₱100,000 in July, its best month, and ₱49,000 in September, 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 8.4 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn ₱226,000+ a month, about 7.4 times the typical property.
- Strong performers (top 25%) earn ₱95,500 or more, roughly ₱65,000 a month above the median.
- Typical properties (median) earn about ₱30,400 a month.
- Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn ₱11,300 or less, about a third 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.

Samal Airbnb Data by Month
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 August 2026 and bookings in April 2026, so the best-paying month is not always the busiest or the priciest.

Averages per active listing in each month. Highlighted: the highest-revenue month of the 12. RevPAR is the month's revenue spread over its nights, booked or not. Booking lead time is the days between booking and check-in, and length of stay the nights per booking, for stays in that month.
The typical Samal listing earns about ₱30,400 a month, but one property can land well above or below that. The Airbnb calculator gives a range for a specific address, built from the comparable listings around it.
Profit
Is an Airbnb in Samal Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Samal Airbnb took in ₱523,316 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about ₱33,000 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 ₱105,100 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the ₱11,800 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about ₱34,000 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about ₱28,800 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 Samal's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Samal listings are booked on 43% or more of their nights, against 23% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of ₱3,170 adds about ₱31,700 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge ₱7,095 a night or more, against a median of ₱3,170. 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 ₱51,200 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, July brings the average listing about ₱100,000, against ₱49,000 in September, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Samal listings average 4.79 stars, and 31% 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 ₱136,900 a month, against ₱43,600 for the average one.
