Revenue

How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Somone?

Gross bookings per Somone listing averaged F CFA 4,903,561 over the 12 months to October 2026 (Thiès Region average: F CFA 6,042,474), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.

The average Somone listing brought in F CFA 1,080,000 in August, its best month, and F CFA 421,000 in June, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 34% 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 1,450,000+ a month, about 3.4 times the typical property.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn F CFA 870,000 or more, roughly F CFA 440,000 a month above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) earn about F CFA 426,000 a month.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn F CFA 211,000 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.

Somone Airbnb Data by Month

Latest 12 months in the October 2026 data. October's figures are still coming in, so the rows run to September.

August 2026 led on revenue. Nightly rates peaked in December 2025 and bookings in October 2025, so the best-paying month is not always the busiest or the priciest.

Averages per active listing in each month. Highlighted: the highest-revenue month of the 12. RevPAR is the month's revenue spread over its nights, booked or not. Booking lead time is the days between booking and check-in, and length of stay the nights per booking, for stays in that month.

The typical Somone listing earns about F CFA 426,000 a month, but one property can land well above or below that. The Airbnb profit calculator gives a range for a specific address, built from the comparable listings around it.

Profit

Is an Airbnb in Somone Profitable?

Yes, when it's run well. The average Somone Airbnb took in F CFA 4,903,561 in the 12 months to October 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about F CFA 293,000 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 F CFA 604,000 a month.

Cleaning it yourself keeps the F CFA 159,000 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about F CFA 306,000 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about F CFA 253,000 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.

Estimate Your Own Somone Airbnb Profit

The estimate starts from Somone's average listing, run by its owner. Change how the listing performs, who runs it and who cleans to see what is left for the mortgage or rent.

How Somone's Top Earners Get There

  • More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Somone listings are booked on 52% or more of their nights, against 29% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of F CFA 54,000 adds about F CFA 540,000 in bookings.
  • Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge F CFA 81,800 a night or more, against a median of F CFA 54,000. 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 474,000 a year.
  • Open for the busy months. August brought the average listing about F CFA 1,080,000, against F CFA 421,000 in June, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
  • Reviews that stand out. Somone listings average 4.72 stars, and 17% 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 834,000 a month, against F CFA 409,000 for the average one.

What Is the RevPAR for Airbnb in Somone?

A small group of listings earns several times more per open night than the rest.

Permits

Airbnb Permits and Registration in Somone

None of the 52 active listings in Somone display a registration, permit or license number. That doesn't mean no rules apply: some places don't ask hosts to show a number on the listing, and listing data doesn't capture every scheme.

Registration, permit, zoning and tourist-tax rules vary by address and change often, so confirm them with the local authority before buying or listing in Somone.
