Revenue

How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Mérida?

Gross bookings per Mérida listing averaged €10,494 over the 12 months to October 2026 (Extremadura average: €11,938), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.

In a typical year, the average Mérida listing brings in €1,490 in April, its best month, and €649 in January, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 34% 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.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn €2,160+ a month, about 2.5 times the typical property.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn €1,430 or more, roughly €570 a month above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) earn about €856 a month.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn €468 or less, about 55% of the median.

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

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.

The busiest tenth of listings are booked about 3.8 times as often as the bottom quarter.

  • Strong performers (top 25%) fill 49% or more, roughly three nights a week.
  • Typical properties (median) fill about 30% of open nights.

The 12-month rate of 32% averages each listing's whole year, slow months included; each month here counts only the listings booked in it.

Nightly rates

How Much Does an Airbnb Cost per Night in Mérida?

The top 10% charge about 2.1 times the rate of the bottom quarter.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) charge €145+ a night, about 1.7 times the median.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) charge €110 or more, about €25 above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) charge about €86 a night.

Average nightly rate (ADR), by month, October 2024 to September 2026

The dashed line is the average of the months shown, €94. The 12-month ADR of €99 averages each listing's own rate across its whole year; the monthly points average listings month by month, so the two differ.

What Is the RevPAR for Airbnb in Mérida?

RevPAR, or revenue per available night, divides a listing's income by every night it was open to book, so it rises with both price and bookings. In Mérida it averaged €33 over the past year, from about €21 in a typical January to about €50 in a typical April.

Per open night, by tier:

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn €58+ per open night, about 2.1 times the median.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn €42 or more, about €14 a night above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) earn about €28 per open night.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn €17 or less, about two-thirds of the median.

Permits

Airbnb Permits and Registration in Mérida
