Profit
Is an Airbnb in San Cristobal Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average San Cristobal Airbnb took in $21,362 in the 12 months to April 2025, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $1,300 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.
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 San Cristobal's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of San Cristobal listings are booked on 51% or more of their nights, against 33% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of $150 adds about $1,510 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge $225 a night or more, against a median of $150. 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 $2,140 a year.
- Open for the busy months. June brought the average listing about $3,240, against $1,540 in May, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
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 $2,870 a month, against $1,780 for the average one.
