Revenue

How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Ayvalık?

Gross bookings per Ayvalık listing averaged ₺404,903 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Turkey average: ₺457,556), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.

In a typical year, the average Ayvalık listing brings in ₺138,000 in August, its best month, and ₺23,500 in December, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 49% 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 4.2 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn ₺137,000+ a month, about 3.4 times the typical property.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn ₺79,000 or more, roughly ₺39,000 a month above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) earn about ₺40,200 a month.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn ₺18,500 or less, about 46% 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 Ayvalık Profitable?

Yes, when it's run well. The average Ayvalık Airbnb took in ₺404,903 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about ₺24,700 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 ₺48,900 a month.

Cleaning it yourself keeps the ₺11,500 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about ₺25,600 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about ₺21,400 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 Ayvalık's Top Earners Get There

  • More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Ayvalık listings are booked on 37% or more of their nights, against 22% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of ₺5,245 adds about ₺52,400 in bookings.
  • Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge ₺7,670 a night or more, against a median of ₺5,245. 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 ₺39,300 a year.
  • Open for the busy months. In a typical year, August brings the average listing about ₺138,000, against ₺23,500 in December, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
  • Reviews that stand out. Ayvalık listings average 4.71 stars, and 26% 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 ₺66,300 a month, against ₺33,700 for the average one.

Top-Earning Airbnbs and Hosts in Ayvalık

The top-grossing listing, a private room at ₺40,969 a night (about 3.5 times the ₺11,800 that puts a listing in the top 10% here), is left out below: a price like that usually means it covers several rooms or units, or that it is misrecorded. Leaving it out, the top earner in Ayvalık, a private room, took in ₺3,230,000 over the past year, about 8 times the city's average of ₺405,000. Three of the six listings below have two bedrooms or fewer, so size alone doesn't explain the top of this market.
