Profit
Is an Airbnb in Zetea Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Zetea Airbnb took in lei 37,209 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about lei 2,520 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 lei 5,360 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the lei 520 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about lei 2,560 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about lei 2,210 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 Zetea's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Zetea listings are booked on 28% or more of their nights, against 16% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of lei 635 adds about lei 6,370 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge lei 995 a night or more, against a median of lei 635. 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 lei 3,670 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, July brings the average listing about lei 9,920, against lei 4,000 in May, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Zetea listings average 4.86 stars, and 15% 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 lei 6,540 a month, against lei 3,100 for the average one.
