Airbnb market data · 202612 months to October 2026
The average Airbnb in Bolu brought in ₺358,779 over the 12 months through October 2026, about 30% less than the national average of ₺514,642.
The short answer
Bolu earns on price rather than volume. Listings averaged ₺8,610 a night and were booked on 19% of available nights, against ₺6,945 and 34% for the national average.
Timing matters: in January, usually the best month, the average listing earns about 3.4 times as much as in September, usually the slowest. With only 48 active listings, a few bookings can reorder the months.
AirROI tracked 48 active listings in Bolu. From a year earlier, average revenue fell 22% while the number of active listings shrank 14%.

Gross bookings per Bolu listing averaged ₺358,779 over the 12 months to October 2026 (Turkey average: ₺514,642), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Bolu listing brings in ₺126,000 in January, its best month, and ₺36,800 in September, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 38% 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 4.1 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
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.

The dashed line is the average of the months shown, ₺58,200. Each point is one month as recorded, averaged over the listings active in it. The best and slowest months in the text average each calendar month over the past two years, so they can differ from the highest and lowest points here.
Latest 12 months in the October 2026 data. October's figures are still coming in, so the rows run to September.
January 2026 led on revenue. Nightly rates peaked in May 2026 and bookings in November 2025, so the best-paying month is not always the busiest or the priciest.

Averages per active listing in each month. Highlighted: the highest-revenue month of the 12. RevPAR is the month's revenue spread over its nights, booked or not. Booking lead time is the days between booking and check-in, and length of stay the nights per booking, for stays in that month.
The typical Bolu listing earns about ₺37,200 a month, but one property can land well above or below that. The Airbnb calculator gives a range for a specific address, built from the comparable listings around it.
Profit
Yes, when it's run well. The average Bolu Airbnb took in ₺358,779 in the 12 months to October 2026, an average that counts every active listing, including those open only part of the year. A listing in the top quarter took in about ₺682,200, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about ₺41,800 a month of that is left after running costs, so a home that costs less than that to own or rent makes money.
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.
