How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Saint-Louis?
Gross bookings per Saint-Louis listing averaged F CFA 2,239,827 over the 12 months to October 2026 (Senegal average: F CFA 3,903,125), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Saint-Louis listing brings in F CFA 453,000 in August, its best month, and F CFA 285,000 in June, its slowest. Both ends are close calls: August leads July by 4%, and June sits just 3% below November, so either pair can swap places in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 31% 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 4.1 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn F CFA 861,000+ a month, about 3.2 times the typical property.
- Strong performers (top 25%) earn F CFA 519,000 or more, roughly F CFA 250,000 a month above the median.
- Typical properties (median) earn about F CFA 272,000 a month.
- Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn F CFA 127,000 or less, about half 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.

August 2026 led on revenue. Nightly rates peaked in June 2026 and bookings in February 2026, so the best-paying month is not always the busiest or the priciest.

Profit
Is an Airbnb in Saint-Louis Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Saint-Louis Airbnb took in F CFA 2,239,827 in the 12 months to October 2026, an average that counts every active listing, including those open only part of the year. A listing in the top quarter took in about F CFA 4,276,000, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about F CFA 258,000 a month of that is left after running costs, so a home that costs less than that to own or rent makes money.
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 Saint-Louis's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Saint-Louis listings are booked on 48% or more of their nights, against 25% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of F CFA 30,100 adds about F CFA 301,000 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge F CFA 45,400 a night or more, against a median of F CFA 30,100. 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 F CFA 217,000 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, August brings the average listing about F CFA 453,000, against F CFA 285,000 in June, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Saint-Louis listings average 4.66 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 F CFA 356,000 a month, against F CFA 187,000 for the average one.

Saint-Louis Airbnb FAQ

That is before cleaning, management, taxes and financing. Busier, better-run listings do far better: the top quarter took in F CFA 519,000 or more in a typical month.
How much can I make on Airbnb in Saint-Louis?
It depends most on the home's size, location and how it's run. The middle half of Saint-Louis listings earn between F CFA 127,000 and F CFA 519,000 in a typical month, and the top tenth F CFA 861,000 or more. For one home, enter its address and bedroom count in the Airbnb calculator: it compares the home with similar listings nearby.
What is the average Airbnb occupancy rate in Saint-Louis?
Listings in Saint-Louis were booked on 26% of available nights over the past year. That compares with 33% for the national average. February is usually the busiest month.
How much does an Airbnb cost per night in Saint-Louis?
The average booked night in Saint-Louis cost F CFA 37,125 before fees. Half of listings charge between F CFA 20,400 and F CFA 45,400, so bedroom count and location move the price more than the average suggests.
Do you need a permit for an Airbnb in Saint-Louis?
None of the active Saint-Louis listings display a registration, permit or license number. That doesn't mean no rules apply, so confirm registration, permit and tourist-tax rules with the local authority before buying.
Is Airbnb profitable in Saint-Louis?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Saint-Louis Airbnb grossed F CFA 2,239,827 in the 12 months to October 2026, 43% below the national average of F CFA 3,903,125, counting listings open only part of the year. A listing at the top-quarter mark, run by its owner with the cleaning fee covering the cleaner and everyday costs for Airbnb's fee, utilities, supplies, upkeep and insurance, has about F CFA 258,000 a month left before the mortgage or rent, so a home that costs less than that to own or rent makes a profit. Check a specific home in the Airbnb estimator.
