Profit
Is an Airbnb in Mérida Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Mérida Airbnb took in €10,494 in the 12 months to October 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about €630 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 €1,060 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the €290 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about €660 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about €550 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 Mérida's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Mérida listings are booked on 49% or more of their nights, against 30% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of €86 adds about €855 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge €110 a night or more, against a median of €86. 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 €1,020 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, April brings the average listing about €1,490, against €649 in January, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Mérida listings average 4.73 stars, and 32% 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 €1,460 a month, against €870 for the average one.
