Profit
Is an Airbnb in Gwangju-si Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Gwangju-si Airbnb took in ₩22,089,910 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about ₩1,350,000 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 ₩3,690,000 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the ₩90,000 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about ₩1,360,000 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about ₩1,170,000 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.

How Gwangju-si's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Gwangju-si listings are booked on 42% or more of their nights, against 22% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of ₩189,000 adds about ₩1,890,000 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge ₩271,000 a night or more, against a median of ₩189,000. 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 ₩2,200,000 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, August brings the average listing about ₩3,320,000, against ₩1,910,000 in March, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Gwangju-si listings average 4.81 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 ₩4,960,000 a month, against ₩1,840,000 for the average one.
