Profit
Is an Airbnb in Boralesgamuwa Profitable?
Yes, as extra income from a home or room you already have. The average Boralesgamuwa Airbnb took in Rs 640,999 in the 12 months to November 2025, counting listings open only part of the year, and a listing in the top quarter, run by its owner at everyday costs, keeps about Rs 75,500 a month after running costs.
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.

- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge Rs 13,800 a night or more, against a median of Rs 10,400.
