Revenue

How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Somerset?

Gross bookings per Somerset listing averaged $21,044 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Kentucky average: $27,730), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.

In a typical year, the average Somerset listing brings in $4,570 in July, its best month, and $1,590 in February, its slowest. January runs within 1% of February, so either can be the slowest in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 38% 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 2.7 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn $5,060+ a month, about 2.6 times the typical property.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn $3,090 or more, roughly $1,100 a month above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) earn about $1,980 a month.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn $1,140 or less, about 58% 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.

July earns about 2.9 times what February does

Profit

Is an Airbnb in Somerset Profitable?

Yes, when it's run well. The average Somerset Airbnb took in $21,044 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $1,070 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 $1,680 a month.

Cleaning it yourself keeps the $2,990 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about $1,320 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about $920 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 Somerset's Top Earners Get There

  • More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Somerset listings are booked on 56% or more of their nights, against 35% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of $180 adds about $1,820 in bookings.
  • Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge $265 a night or more, against a median of $180. 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 $1,810 a year.
  • Open for the busy months. In a typical year, July brings the average listing about $4,570, against $1,590 in February, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
  • Reviews that stand out. Somerset listings average 4.89 stars, and 64% 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 $2,730 a month, against $1,750 for the average one.

Occupancy

What Is the Airbnb Occupancy Rate in Somerset?

Somerset listings were booked on 37% of the nights they were open over the past year, 2 percentage points below the Kentucky average (39%) and 4 points below the U.S. average (41%). In a typical year, occupancy swings from 28% in January to 55% in July.

The busiest tenth of listings are booked about 3.7 times as often as the bottom quarter.

  • Strong performers (top 25%) fill 56% or more, roughly four nights a week.
  • Typical properties (median) fill about 35% of open nights.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) fill 20% or less, under two nights a week.

July is usually the busiest month in Somerset, January the quietest

Share of open nights booked, by month, September 2024 to August 2026

The 12-month rate of 37% averages each listing's whole year, slow months included; each month here counts only the listings booked in it.

Nightly rates

How Much Does an Airbnb Cost per Night in Somerset?

The average nightly rate in Somerset, known as ADR (average daily rate), was $211 over the past year, about 16% below the Kentucky average of $250 and about 34% below the U.S. average of $320. Averaged month by month over the past two years, rates peak in June and July at about $250 and bottom out in January and February at about $215.

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

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) charge $395+ a night, about 2.2 times the median.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) charge $265 or more, about $85 above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) charge about $180 a night.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) charge $135 or less, about three-quarters of the median.

July rates run 17% above February's

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

The 12-month ADR of $211 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 Somerset?

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 Somerset it averaged $82 over the past year, from about $51 in a typical January to about $147 in a typical July.

Per open night, by tier:

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn $144+ per open night, about 2.2 times the median.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn $98 or more, about $35 a night above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) earn about $65 per open night.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn $43 or less, about two-thirds of the median.

July RevPAR is about 2.9 times January's

Permits

Airbnb Permits and Registration in Somerset

None of the 94 active listings in Somerset 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 Somerset.
