The short answer
Ruidera earns on price rather than volume. Listings averaged €176 a night and were booked on 30% of available nights, against €145 and 35% for the Castile-La Mancha average.
Timing matters: in August, usually the best month, the average listing earns about four times as much as in February, usually the slowest. With only 35 active listings, a few bookings can reorder the months.
With 35 active listings, Ruidera is the 13th-largest of 28 Castile-La Mancha markets AirROI tracks. From a year earlier, average revenue rose 13% while the number of active listings shrank 20%.

Gross bookings per Ruidera listing averaged €12,781 over the 12 months to October 2026 (Castile-La Mancha average: €14,393), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Ruidera listing brings in €3,090 in August, its best month, and €761 in February, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 40% 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 three times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
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.

Profit
Yes, when it's run well. The average Ruidera Airbnb took in €12,781 in the 12 months to October 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about €710 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 €1,340 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the €1,020 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about €800 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about €610 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.
