How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Staffin?

In a typical year, the average Staffin listing brings in £5,250 in July, its best month, and £1,500 in January, its slowest.

Profit
Is an Airbnb in Staffin Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Staffin Airbnb took in £32,361 in the 12 months to October 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about £1,410 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 £2,110 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the £6,750 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about £1,970 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about £1,190 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 Staffin's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Staffin listings are booked on 78% or more of their nights, against 62% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of £200 adds about £1,980 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge £255 a night or more, against a median of £200. 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 £2,560 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, July brings the average listing about £5,250, against £1,500 in January, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Staffin listings average 4.85 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 £4,010 a month, against £2,700 for the average one.
