How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Carbost?
Gross bookings per Carbost listing averaged £36,138 over the 12 months to October 2026 (Scotland average: £28,841), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Carbost listing brings in £6,970 in August, its best month, and £1,940 in February, its slowest.

In a typical month, a top-quarter listing earns at least 2.3 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn £8,010+ a month, about 2.4 times the typical property.
- Strong performers (top 25%) earn £5,480 or more, roughly £2,100 a month above the median.
- Typical properties (median) earn about £3,390 a month.
- Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn £2,380 or less, about two-thirds of the median.

Profit
Is an Airbnb in Carbost Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Carbost Airbnb took in £36,138 in the 12 months to October 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about £2,070 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 £3,380 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the £1,690 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about £2,210 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about £1,780 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 Carbost's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Carbost listings are booked on 79% or more of their nights, against 65% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of £190 adds about £1,880 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge £275 a night or more, against a median of £190. 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 £3,440 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, August brings the average listing about £6,970, against £1,940 in February, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Carbost listings average 4.86 stars, and 57% 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 £4,870 a month, against £3,010 for the average one.
