How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in General Santos?
Gross bookings per General Santos listing averaged ₱114,515 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 General Santos listing brings in ₱24,300 in July, its best month, and ₱15,300 in March, its slowest. April runs within 1% of March, so either can be the slowest in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 30% 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 4.7 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn ₱45,700+ a month, about 3.3 times the typical property.
- Strong performers (top 25%) earn ₱28,200 or more, roughly ₱15,000 a month above the median.
- Typical properties (median) earn about ₱13,700 a month.
- Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn ₱5,960 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 General Santos Profitable?
Yes, as extra income from a home or room you already have. The average General Santos Airbnb took in ₱114,515 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 ₱14,700 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 General Santos's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of General Santos listings are booked on 46% or more of their nights, against 24% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of ₱1,700 adds about ₱17,000 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge ₱2,430 a night or more, against a median of ₱1,700. 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 ₱11,200 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, July brings the average listing about ₱24,300, against ₱15,300 in March, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. General Santos listings average 4.75 stars, and 25% 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 ₱19,600 a month, against ₱9,500 for the average one.
