Profit
Is an Airbnb in Moshi Urban Profitable?
Yes, as extra income from a home or room you already have. The average Moshi Urban Airbnb took in TZS 5,370,955 in the 12 months to October 2026, counting listings open only part of the year, and a listing in the top quarter, run by its owner at everyday costs, keeps about TZS 746,000 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.

How Moshi Urban's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Moshi Urban listings are booked on 38% or more of their nights, against 18% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of TZS 82,200 adds about TZS 822,000 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge TZS 181,000 a night or more, against a median of TZS 82,200. 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 TZS 493,000 a year.
- Open for the busy months. August brought the average listing about TZS 2,690,000, against TZS 767,000 in April, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Moshi Urban listings average 4.86 stars, and 29% 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 TZS 1,112,000 a month, against TZS 448,000 for the average one.
