In a typical year, the average Accra listing brings in GH₵16,600 in December, its best month, and GH₵11,100 in May, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 28% 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 4.2 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn GH₵28,700+ a month, about 2.8 times the typical property.
- Strong performers (top 25%) earn GH₵18,800 or more, roughly GH₵8,700 a month above the median.

- Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn GH₵4,380 or less, about 43% 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 Accra Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Accra Airbnb took in GH₵85,791 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 GH₵159,770, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about GH₵9,500 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 Accra's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Accra listings are booked on 59% or more of their nights, against 34% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of GH₵980 adds about GH₵9,820 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge GH₵1,415 a night or more, against a median of GH₵980. 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 GH₵8,220 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, December brings the average listing about GH₵16,600, against GH₵11,100 in May, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Accra listings average 4.74 stars, and 21% 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 GH₵13,310 a month, against GH₵7,150 for the average one.

Permits
Airbnb Permits and Registration in Accra
1% of the 3,162 active listings in Accra display a registration, permit or license number. A low share 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 tourist-tax rules vary by address and change often, so confirm them with the local authority before buying or listing in Accra.
