Revenue

How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Moray?

Gross bookings per Moray listing averaged £23,025 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 Moray listing brings in £4,590 in August, its best month, and £1,570 in February, its slowest. 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 2.4 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn £5,160+ a month, about 2.4 times the typical property.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn £3,250 or more, roughly £1,100 a month above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) earn about £2,160 a month.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn £1,340 or less, about 62% 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.

August earns about three times what February does

Profit

Is an Airbnb in Moray Profitable?

Yes, when it's run well. The average Moray Airbnb took in £23,025 in the 12 months to October 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about £1,220 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 £1,850 a month.

Cleaning it yourself keeps the £2,270 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about £1,410 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about £1,040 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 Moray's Top Earners Get There

  • More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Moray listings are booked on 63% or more of their nights, against 45% 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 £235 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 £2,080 a year.
  • Open for the busy months. In a typical year, August brings the average listing about £4,590, against £1,570 in February, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
  • Reviews that stand out. Moray listings average 4.87 stars, and 55% 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 £2,890 a month, against £1,920 for the average one.

Nightly rates

How Much Does an Airbnb Cost per Night in Moray?

The average nightly rate in Moray, known as ADR (average daily rate), was £237 over the past year, about 16% above the Scotland average of £205 and about 22% above the U.K. average of £195.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) charge £375+ a night, about 2.3 times the median.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) charge £235 or more, about £75 above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) charge about £160 a night.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) charge £120 or less, about three-quarters of the median.

August rates run 22% above November's

Average nightly rate (ADR), by month, October 2024 to September 2026

The dashed line is the average of the months shown, £222. The 12-month ADR of £237 averages each listing's own rate across its whole year; the monthly points average listings month by month, so the two differ.

What Is the RevPAR for Airbnb in Moray?

RevPAR, or revenue per available night, divides a listing's income by every night it was open to book, so it rises with both price and bookings. In Moray it averaged £95 over the past year, from about £56 in a typical February to about £148 in a typical August.

Per open night, by tier:

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn £161+ per open night, about twice the median.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn £108 or more, about £30 a night above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) earn about £77 per open night.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn £51 or less, about two-thirds of the median.

August RevPAR is about 2.6 times February's
