Revenue

How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Lima?

Gross bookings per Lima listing averaged $9,484 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Ohio average: $27,235), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.

In a typical year, the average Lima listing brings in $2,000 in August, its best month, and $1,170 in February, its slowest. Both ends are close calls: August leads June by 1%, and February sits just 5% below November, so either pair can swap places in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 32% 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 3.5 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn $3,560+ a month, about 2.8 times the typical property.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn $2,330 or more, roughly $1,100 a month above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) earn about $1,280 a month.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn $661 or less, about half 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.

August earns about 1.7 times what February does

Average revenue per active listing, by month, September 2024 to August 2026

Each point is one month as recorded, averaged over the listings active in it. The best and slowest months in the text average each calendar month over the past two years, so they can differ from the highest and lowest points here.

Lima Airbnb Data by Month

Latest 12 months in the September 2026 data. September's figures are still coming in, so the rows run to August.

June 2026 led on revenue. Nightly rates peaked in May 2026 and bookings in August 2026, so the best-paying month is not always the busiest or the priciest. Across the past two years, August is usually the strongest month.

Profit

Is an Airbnb in Lima Profitable?

Yes, when it's run well. The average Lima Airbnb took in $9,484 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $530 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 $970 a month.

Cleaning it yourself keeps the $850 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about $600 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about $460 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 Lima's Top Earners Get There

  • More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Lima listings are booked on 59% or more of their nights, against 37% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of $100 adds about $1,010 in bookings.
  • Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge $135 a night or more, against a median of $100. 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 $860 a year.
  • Open for the busy months. In a typical year, August brings the average listing about $2,000, against $1,170 in February, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
  • Reviews that stand out. Lima listings average 4.83 stars, and 42% 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 $1,440 a month, against $790 for the average one.

Occupancy

What Is the Airbnb Occupancy Rate in Lima?

Lima listings were booked on 37% of the nights they were open over the past year, 4 percentage points below the Ohio average (41%) and 4 points below the U.S. average (41%). In a typical year, occupancy climbs to 55% in September and falls to 35% in May.

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

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) are booked 74%+ of open nights, 37 points above the median.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) fill 59% or more, roughly four nights a week.
  • Typical properties (median) fill about 37% of open nights.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) fill 18% or less, under two nights a week.

September is usually the busiest month in Lima, May 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 Lima?

The average nightly rate in Lima, known as ADR (average daily rate), was $118 over the past year, about 48% below the Ohio average of $225 and about 63% below the U.S. average of $320. Averaged month by month over the past two years, rates peak in July and August at about $115 and bottom out in October and November at about $93.

The top 10% charge about 2.6 times the rate of the bottom quarter.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) charge $180+ a night, about 1.8 times the median.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) charge $135 or more, about $35 above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) charge about $100 a night.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) charge $70 or less, about two-thirds of the median.

July rates run 26% above November's

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

The 12-month ADR of $118 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 Lima?

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 Lima it averaged $48 over the past year, from about $40 in a typical March to about $66 in a typical June.

Per open night, by tier:

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn $92+ per open night, about 2.4 times the median.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn $65 or more, about $25 a night above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) earn about $39 per open night.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn $25 or less, about two-thirds of the median.

June RevPAR is about 1.7 times March's

Permits

Airbnb Permits and Registration in Lima

None of the 73 active listings in Lima 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 Lima.
