Profit
Is an Airbnb in Valea Doftanei Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Valea Doftanei Airbnb took in lei 45,540 in the 12 months to May 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about lei 2,970 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 4,900 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the lei 1,310 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about lei 3,080 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about lei 2,600 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.
