Revenue

How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Geneva?

Gross bookings per Geneva listing averaged $50,457 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Illinois average: $33,660), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.

In a typical year, the average Geneva listing brings in $7,100 in July, its best month, and $2,680 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 2.6 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn $9,020+ a month, about 2.1 times the typical property.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn $6,630 or more, roughly $2,400 a month above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) earn about $4,240 a month.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn $2,500 or less, about 59% 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 Geneva Profitable?

Yes, when it's run well. The average Geneva Airbnb took in $50,457 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $2,700 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 $4,250 a month.

Cleaning it yourself keeps the $4,980 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about $3,110 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about $2,320 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 HOA or condo fees.

How Geneva's Top Earners Get There

  • More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Geneva listings are booked on 69% or more of their nights, against 50% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of $270 adds about $2,710 in bookings.
  • Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge $355 a night or more, against a median of $270. 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 $4,550 a year.
  • Open for the busy months. In a typical year, July brings the average listing about $7,100, against $2,680 in February, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
  • Reviews that stand out. Geneva listings average 4.94 stars, and 84% 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 $6,570 a month, against $4,200 for the average one.

Nightly rates

How Much Does an Airbnb Cost per Night in Geneva?

The average nightly rate in Geneva, known as ADR (average daily rate), was $293 over the past year, about 17% above the Illinois average of $250 and about 8% below the U.S. average of $320. In a typical year, rates peak in June and July at about $305 and bottom out in September and October at about $235.

The top 10% charge about 2.4 times the rate of the bottom quarter.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) charge $435+ a night, about 1.6 times the median.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) charge $355 or more, about $85 above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) charge about $270 a night.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) charge $185 or less, about two-thirds of the median.

July rates run 30% above September's

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

The 12-month ADR of $293 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 Geneva?

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 Geneva it averaged $161 over the past year, from about $95 in a typical January to about $229 in a typical July.

Per open night, by tier:

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn $274+ per open night, about 1.7 times the median.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn $200 or more, about $40 a night above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) earn about $162 per open night.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn $90 or less, about 55% of the median.

July RevPAR is about 2.4 times January's

Permits

Airbnb Permits and Registration in Geneva

None of the 37 active listings in Geneva display a registration, permit or license number. That doesn't mean no rules apply: some places don't ask hosts to show a number on the listing, and listing data doesn't capture every scheme.

Registration, permit, zoning and occupancy-tax rules vary by address and change often, so confirm them with the city or county before buying or listing in Geneva.
