Profit
Is an Airbnb in Pau Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Pau Airbnb took in €9,597 in the 12 months to March 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about €570 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 €910 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the €760 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about €630 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 Pau's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Pau listings are booked on 44% or more of their nights, against 32% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of €105 adds about €1,050 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge €235 a night or more, against a median of €105. 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 €880 a year.
- Open for the busy months. August brought the average listing about €3,330, against €235 in February, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Pau listings average 4.82 stars, and 22% 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 €1,260 a month, against €800 for the average one.
