How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Lonavla?
Gross bookings per Lonavla listing averaged ₹669,790 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Maharashtra average: ₹470,521), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Lonavla listing brings in ₹147,000 in December, its best month, and ₹70,700 in February, its slowest. April runs within 2% of February, so either can be the slowest in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 34% of a full year's revenue, where an even calendar would give any three months 25%.
Across Lonavla's 23 active listings, monthly revenue by tier:
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn ₹185,000+ a month, about three times the typical property.
- Strong performers (top 25%) earn ₹123,000 or more, roughly ₹63,000 a month above the median.
- Typical properties (median) earn about ₹60,400 a month.
- Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn ₹27,800 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.
December earns about twice what February does

Profit
Is an Airbnb in Lonavla Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Lonavla Airbnb took in ₹669,790 in the 12 months to September 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 ₹1,364,500, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about ₹85,800 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 Lonavla's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Lonavla listings are booked on 34% or more of their nights, against 20% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of ₹10,300 adds about ₹103,000 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge ₹19,200 a night or more, against a median of ₹10,300. 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 ₹65,900 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, December brings the average listing about ₹147,000, against ₹70,700 in February, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Lonavla listings average 4.54 stars, and 9% 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 ₹113,700 a month, against ₹55,800 for the average one.
