How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Rother?
Gross bookings per Rother listing averaged £27,443 over the 12 months to October 2026 (England average: £21,011), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Rother listing brings in £4,920 in August, its best month, and £1,940 in January, its slowest. February runs within 3% of January, so either can be the slowest in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 36% 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 3.2 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn £6,010+ a month, about 2.7 times the typical property.
- Strong performers (top 25%) earn £3,680 or more, roughly £1,500 a month above the median.
- Typical properties (median) earn about £2,190 a month.
- Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn £1,120 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 Rother Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Rother Airbnb took in £27,443 in the 12 months to October 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about £1,460 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 £2,480 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the £2,640 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about £1,680 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about £1,260 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 Rother's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Rother listings are booked on 60% or more of their nights, against 39% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of £160 adds about £1,610 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge £255 a night or more, against a median of £160. 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 £2,480 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, August brings the average listing about £4,920, against £1,940 in January, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Rother listings average 4.86 stars, and 56% 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 £3,850 a month, against £2,290 for the average one.

FAQ
Rother Airbnb FAQ

An active Rother Airbnb grossed £27,443 on average in the 12 months to October 2026, according to AirROI's tracking of 827 active listings. That is before cleaning, management, taxes and financing. Busier, better-run listings do far better: the top quarter took in £3,680 or more in a typical month.
How much can I make on Airbnb in Rother?

For one home, enter its address and bedroom count in the Airbnb income calculator: it compares the home with similar listings nearby.
What is the average Airbnb occupancy rate in Rother?
Listings in Rother were booked on 40% of available nights over the past year. That compares with 41% for the England average. August is usually the busiest month.
How much does an Airbnb cost per night in Rother?
The average booked night in Rother cost £235 before fees. Half of listings charge between £120 and £255, so bedroom count and location move the price more than the average suggests.
Do you need a permit for an Airbnb in Rother?
None of the active Rother listings display a registration, permit or license number. That doesn't mean no rules apply, so confirm registration, permit and tourist-tax rules with the local authority before buying.
Is Airbnb profitable in Rother?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Rother Airbnb grossed £27,443 in the 12 months to October 2026, 31% above the England average of £21,011. Run by its owner, with the cleaning fee covering the cleaner and everyday costs for Airbnb's fee, utilities, supplies, upkeep and insurance, £17,543 a year (about £1,460 a month) is left before the mortgage or rent. A home that costs less than that to own or rent makes a profit, and a listing at the top-quarter mark leaves about £2,480 a month. Check a specific home in the Airbnb estimator.
