Profit
Is an Airbnb in Alájar Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Alájar Airbnb took in €9,207 in the 12 months to April 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about €580 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 €980 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the €310 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about €600 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about €500 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 Alájar's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Alájar listings are booked on 37% or more of their nights, against 22% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of €145 adds about €1,430 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge €185 a night or more, against a median of €145. 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 €890 a year.
- Open for the busy months. December brought the average listing about €1,780, against €570 in June, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Alájar listings average 4.76 stars, and 28% 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 €1,290 a month, against €770 for the average one.
