How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Basel?
Gross bookings per Basel listing averaged CHF 11,430 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Switzerland average: CHF 22,850), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
The average Basel listing brought in CHF 2,990 in June, its best month, and CHF 1,040 in February, 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 3.5 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn CHF 3,850+ a month, about 2.7 times the typical property.
- Strong performers (top 25%) earn CHF 2,540 or more, roughly CHF 1,100 a month above the median.
- Typical properties (median) earn about CHF 1,410 a month.
- Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn CHF 724 or less, about half 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.

Averages per active listing in each month. Highlighted: the highest-revenue month of the 12. RevPAR is the month's revenue spread over its nights, booked or not. Booking lead time is the days between booking and check-in, and length of stay the nights per booking, for stays in that month.
The typical Basel listing earns about CHF 1,410 a month, but one property can land well above or below that. The short-term rental calculator gives a range for a specific address, built from the comparable listings around it.
Profit
Is an Airbnb in Basel Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Basel Airbnb took in CHF 11,430 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about CHF 660 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 CHF 1,210 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the CHF 870 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about CHF 740 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about CHF 580 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 Basel's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Basel listings are booked on 62% or more of their nights, against 37% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of CHF 135 adds about CHF 1,350 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge CHF 220 a night or more, against a median of CHF 135. 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 CHF 1,060 a year.
- Open for the busy months. June brought the average listing about CHF 2,990, against CHF 1,040 in February, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Basel listings average 4.77 stars, and 25% 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 CHF 1,720 a month, against CHF 950 for the average one.

Permits
Airbnb Permits and Registration in Basel
None of the 154 active listings in Basel display a registration, permit or license number. That doesn't mean no rules apply: some places don't ask hosts to show a number on the listing, and listing data doesn't capture every scheme.
Registration, permit, zoning and tourist-tax rules vary by address and change often, so confirm them with the local authority before buying or listing in Basel.
