How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Muhoza?
Gross bookings per Muhoza listing averaged RF 4,300,990 over the 12 months to April 2025 (Rwanda average: RF 6,204,180), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
The average Muhoza listing brought in RF 1,540,000 in June, its best month, and RF 251,000 in September, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 46% of a full year's revenue, where an even calendar would give any three months 25%.
Across Muhoza's 22 active listings, monthly revenue by tier:
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn RF 1,830,000+ a month, about 3.8 times the typical property.

- Typical properties (median) earn about RF 476,000 a month.
- Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn RF 194,000 or less, about 41% of the median.

Profit
Is an Airbnb in Muhoza Profitable?
Yes, as extra income from a home or room you already have. The average Muhoza Airbnb took in RF 4,300,990 in the 12 months to April 2025, counting listings open only part of the year, and a listing in the top quarter, run by its owner at everyday costs, keeps about RF 557,000 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 Muhoza's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Muhoza listings are booked on 32% or more of their nights, against 18% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of RF 58,100 adds about RF 581,000 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge RF 99,700 a night or more, against a median of RF 58,100. 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 RF 430,000 a year.
- Open for the busy months. June brought the average listing about RF 1,540,000, against RF 251,000 in September, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
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 RF 755,000 a month, against RF 358,000 for the average one.
