Revenue

How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Medellín?

Gross bookings per Medellín listing averaged COP 41,193,266 over the 12 months to October 2026 (Colombia average: COP 31,631,263), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.

In a typical year, the average Medellín listing brings in COP 6,050,000 in July, its best month, and COP 4,770,000 in November, its slowest. Both ends are close calls: July leads August by 3%, and November sits just 1% below October, so either pair can swap places in a given year. The swing is mild: the best month earns about 27% more than the slowest.

In a typical month, a top-quarter listing earns at least 4.4 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.

Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn COP 11,100,000+ a month, about 3.7 times the typical property.
Strong performers (top 25%) earn COP 5,950,000 or more, roughly COP 2,900,000 a month above the median.
Typical properties (median) earn about COP 3,040,000 a month.
Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn COP 1,340,000 or less, about 44% 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.

Medellín Airbnb Data by Month

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

July 2026 led on revenue. Nightly rates peaked in August 2026 and bookings in December 2025, so the best-paying month is not always the busiest or the priciest.

Averages per active listing in each month. Highlighted: the highest-revenue month of the 12. RevPAR is the month's revenue spread over its nights, booked or not. Booking lead time is the days between booking and check-in, and length of stay the nights per booking, for stays in that month.

The typical Medellín listing earns about COP 3,040,000 a month, but one property can land well above or below that. The Airbnb income calculator gives a range for a specific address, built from the comparable listings around it.

Profit

Is an Airbnb in Medellín Profitable?

Yes, when it's run well. The average Medellín Airbnb took in COP 41,193,266 in the 12 months to October 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about COP 2,350,000 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 COP 4,660,000 a month.

Cleaning it yourself keeps the COP 2,550,000 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about COP 2,560,000 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about COP 2,030,000 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 Medellín's Top Earners Get There

More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Medellín listings are booked on 68% or more of their nights, against 43% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of COP 213,000 adds about COP 2,130,000 in bookings.
Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge COP 350,000 a night or more, against a median of COP 213,000. 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 COP 3,860,000 a year.
Open for the busy months. In a typical year, July brings the average listing about COP 6,050,000, against COP 4,770,000 in November, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
Reviews that stand out. Medellín listings average 4.76 stars, and 36% 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 COP 6,730,000 a month, against COP 3,430,000 for the average one.

Airbnb Amenities Linked to Higher Revenue in Medellín

Listings in Medellín with a waterfront setting earned about 7.6 times as much a year, on average, as those without: COP 312,000,000 against COP 41,000,000. The gap is smaller for a pool table (about 4.4 times as much) and an outdoor kitchen (about 3.6 times as much). Bigger, professionally run homes tend to carry more amenities, so these gaps reflect the kind of listing as much as the feature itself.
