Profit
Is an Airbnb in Bristol Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Bristol Airbnb took in $27,495 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $1,510 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 $2,710 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the $2,380 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about $1,710 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about $1,300 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 Bristol's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Bristol listings are booked on 47% or more of their nights, against 32% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of $265 adds about $2,660 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge $385 a night or more, against a median of $265. 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 $2,510 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, July brings the average listing about $8,070, against $1,310 in March, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Bristol listings average 4.87 stars, and 60% 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 $4,080 a month, against $2,290 for the average one.

FAQ
Bristol Airbnb FAQ
How much do Airbnb hosts make in Bristol?
An active Bristol Airbnb grossed $27,495 on average in the 12 months to September 2026, according to AirROI's tracking of 91 active listings. That is before cleaning, management, taxes and financing.

How much can I make on Airbnb in Bristol?

For one home, enter its address and bedroom count in the Airbnb income calculator: it compares the home with similar listings nearby.
What is the average Airbnb occupancy rate in Bristol?
Listings in Bristol were booked on 40% of available nights over the past year. That compares with 43% for the Maine average. August is usually the busiest month.
How much does an Airbnb cost per night in Bristol?
The average booked night in Bristol cost $311 before fees. Half of listings charge between $205 and $385, so bedroom count and location move the price more than the average suggests.
Do you need a permit for an Airbnb in Bristol?
None of the active Bristol listings display a registration, permit or license number. That doesn't mean no rules apply, so confirm registration, permit and occupancy-tax rules with the city or county before buying.
Is Airbnb profitable in Bristol?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Bristol Airbnb grossed $27,495 in the 12 months to September 2026, 27% below the Maine average of $37,768. Run by its owner, with the cleaning fee covering the cleaner and everyday costs for Airbnb's fee, utilities, supplies, upkeep and insurance, $18,085 a year (about $1,510 a month) is left before the mortgage or rent. A home that costs less than that to own or rent makes a profit, and a listing at the top-quarter mark leaves about $2,710 a month. Check a specific home in the Airbnb estimator.
