Profit
Is an Airbnb in Murten Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Murten Airbnb took in CHF 14,530 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about CHF 860 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 1,520 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the CHF 960 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about CHF 940 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about CHF 750 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 Murten's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Murten listings are booked on 60% or more of their nights, against 36% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of CHF 140 adds about CHF 1,390 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge CHF 185 a night or more, against a median of CHF 140. 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 1,360 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, July brings the average listing about CHF 2,890, against CHF 665 in February, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Murten listings average 4.85 stars, and 55% 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 2,120 a month, against CHF 1,210 for the average one.
