Profit
Is an Airbnb in Bușteni Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Bușteni Airbnb took in lei 42,107 in the 12 months to October 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about lei 2,470 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 4,910 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the lei 2,270 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about lei 2,660 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about lei 2,140 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 Bușteni's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Bușteni listings are booked on 40% or more of their nights, against 22% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of lei 525 adds about lei 5,260 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge lei 960 a night or more, against a median of lei 525. 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 3,980 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, August brings the average listing about lei 8,390, against lei 3,900 in March, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Bușteni listings average 4.85 stars, and 38% 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 6,900 a month, against lei 3,510 for the average one.
