Revenue

How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Victoria Falls Municipality?

Gross bookings per Victoria Falls Municipality listing averaged $15,061 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Zimbabwe average: $6,540), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.

In a typical year, the average Victoria Falls Municipality listing brings in $2,400 in July, its best month, and $1,260 in February, its slowest. December runs within 1% of July, so either can come out on top in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 33% 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 4.7 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn $3,970+ a month, about 3.1 times the typical property.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn $2,460 or more, roughly $1,200 a month above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) earn about $1,270 a month.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn $515 or less, about 41% 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 twice what February does

Profit

Is an Airbnb in Victoria Falls Municipality Profitable?

Yes, when it's run well. The average Victoria Falls Municipality Airbnb took in $15,061 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $930 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 $1,820 a month.

Cleaning it yourself keeps the $350 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about $960 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about $810 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 building or condo fees.

How Victoria Falls Municipality's Top Earners Get There

  • More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Victoria Falls Municipality listings are booked on 44% or more of their nights, against 25% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of $145 adds about $1,440 in bookings.
  • Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge $225 a night or more, against a median of $145. 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 $1,470 a year.
  • Open for the busy months. In a typical year, July brings the average listing about $2,400, against $1,260 in February, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
  • Reviews that stand out. Victoria Falls Municipality listings average 4.76 stars, and 32% 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 $2,430 a month, against $1,260 for the average one.

How much does an Airbnb cost per night in Victoria Falls Municipality?

Do you need a permit for an Airbnb in Victoria Falls Municipality?

None of the active Victoria Falls Municipality listings display a registration, permit or license number. That doesn't mean no rules apply, so confirm registration, permit and tourist-tax rules with the local authority before buying.

Yes, when it's run well. The average Victoria Falls Municipality Airbnb grossed US$15,061 in the 12 months to September 2026, at about 2.3 times the national average of US$6,540. Run by its owner, with the cleaning fee covering the cleaner and everyday costs for Airbnb's fee, utilities, supplies, upkeep and insurance, US$11,141 a year (about US$930 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 US$1,820 a month. Check a specific home in the Airbnb estimator.
