Revenue

How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Sarandë?

Gross bookings per Sarandë listing averaged ALL 664,269 over the 12 months to October 2026 (Southern Albania average: ALL 575,765), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.

In a typical year, the average Sarandë listing brings in ALL 217,000 in August, its best month, and ALL 47,100 in December, its slowest. January runs within 1% of December, so either can be the slowest in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 47% 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 3.7 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.

Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn ALL 212,000+ a month, about three times the typical property.
Strong performers (top 25%) earn ALL 125,000 or more, roughly ALL 56,000 a month above the median.
Typical properties (median) earn about ALL 68,900 a month.
Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn ALL 33,100 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.

Profit

Is an Airbnb in Sarandë Profitable?

Yes, when it's run well. The average Sarandë Airbnb took in ALL 664,269 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 ALL 1,208,300, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about ALL 72,000 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 Sarandë's Top Earners Get There

More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Sarandë listings are booked on 56% or more of their nights, against 33% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of ALL 6,130 adds about ALL 61,300 in bookings.
Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge ALL 8,795 a night or more, against a median of ALL 6,130. 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 ALL 63,600 a year.
Open for the busy months. In a typical year, August brings the average listing about ALL 217,000, against ALL 47,100 in December, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
Reviews that stand out. Sarandë listings average 4.79 stars, and 34% 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 ALL 100,700 a month, against ALL 55,400 for the average one.
