Profit
Is an Airbnb in Arkou Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Arkou Airbnb took in TND 36,861 in the 12 months to October 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about TND 2,170 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 TND 3,020 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the TND 1,050 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about TND 2,260 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about TND 1,870 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 Arkou's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Arkou listings are booked on 43% or more of their nights, against 29% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of TND 400 adds about TND 3,990 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge TND 540 a night or more, against a median of TND 400. 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 TND 3,580 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, August brings the average listing about TND 12,000, against TND 1,340 in February, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Arkou listings average 4.74 stars, and 5% 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 TND 4,240 a month, against TND 3,070 for the average one.
