How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Mutare?
Gross bookings per Mutare listing averaged $4,903 over the 12 months to October 2026 (Manicaland Province average: $6,253), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Mutare listing brings in $1,120 in December, its best month, and $636 in November, its slowest. June runs within 5% of November, so either can be the slowest in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 30% 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 5.1 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn $1,960+ a month, about 4.1 times the typical property.
- Strong performers (top 25%) earn $1,040 or more, roughly $570 a month above the median.
- Typical properties (median) earn about $474 a month.
- Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn $201 or less, about 42% 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 Mutare Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Mutare Airbnb took in $4,903 in the 12 months to October 2026, an average that counts every active listing, including those open only part of the year. A listing in the top quarter took in about $10,770, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $660 a month of that is left after running costs, so a home that costs less than that to own or rent makes money.
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 building or condo fees.

How Mutare's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Mutare listings are booked on 32% or more of their nights, against 19% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of $80 adds about $800 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge $135 a night or more, against a median of $80. 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 $480 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, December brings the average listing about $1,120, against $636 in November, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Mutare listings average 4.58 stars, and 14% 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 $900 a month, against $410 for the average one.

Is Airbnb profitable in Mutare?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Mutare Airbnb grossed US$4,903 in the 12 months to October 2026, 22% below the Manicaland Province average of US$6,253, counting listings open only part of the year. A listing at the top-quarter mark, run by its owner with the cleaning fee covering the cleaner and everyday costs for Airbnb's fee, utilities, supplies, upkeep and insurance, has about US$660 a month left before the mortgage or rent, so a home that costs less than that to own or rent makes a profit.
