Revenue
How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Bellinzona?
Gross bookings per Bellinzona listing averaged CHF 15,510 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Ticino average: CHF 15,853), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Bellinzona listing brings in CHF 2,900 in July, its best month, and CHF 1,080 in January, its slowest. August runs within 5% of July, so either can come out on top in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 35% 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 3.3 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn CHF 3,720+ a month, about 2.4 times the typical property.

- Typical properties (median) earn about CHF 1,570 a month.
- Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn CHF 772 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.

Profit
Is an Airbnb in Bellinzona Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Bellinzona Airbnb took in CHF 15,510 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about CHF 840 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 1,380 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the CHF 1,760 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about CHF 980 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about CHF 720 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 Bellinzona's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Bellinzona listings are booked on 57% or more of their nights, against 34% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of CHF 135 adds about CHF 1,340 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge CHF 185 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 1,380 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, July brings the average listing about CHF 2,900, against CHF 1,080 in January, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Bellinzona listings average 4.84 stars, and 39% 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 2,110 a month, against CHF 1,290 for the average one.
