Revenue
How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Barcelona?
Gross bookings per Barcelona listing averaged €38,032 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Catalonia average: €23,548), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Barcelona listing brings in €5,450 in June, its best month, and €2,540 in January, its slowest. May runs within 2% of June, so either can come out on top in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 32% 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 3.9 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn €8,880+ a month, about 2.3 times the typical property.
- Strong performers (top 25%) earn €6,350 or more, roughly €2,500 a month above the median.
- Typical properties (median) earn about €3,890 a month.
- Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn €1,610 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.
June earns about 2.1 times what January does

Profit
Is an Airbnb in Barcelona Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Barcelona Airbnb took in €38,032 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about €2,230 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 €3,670 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the €2,320 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about €2,430 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about €1,940 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 Barcelona's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Barcelona listings are booked on 83% or more of their nights, against 65% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of €150 adds about €1,520 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge €255 a night or more, against a median of €150. 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 €3,570 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, June brings the average listing about €5,450, against €2,540 in January, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Barcelona listings average 4.62 stars, and 16% 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 €5,170 a month, against €3,170 for the average one.

FAQ
Barcelona Airbnb FAQ
How much do Airbnb hosts make in Barcelona?
An active Barcelona Airbnb grossed €38,032 on average in the 12 months to September 2026, according to AirROI's tracking of 11,223 active listings. That is before cleaning, management, taxes and financing. Busier, better-run listings do far better: the top quarter took in €6,350 or more in a typical month.
How much can I make on Airbnb in Barcelona?
It depends most on the home's size, location and how it's run. The middle half of Barcelona listings earn between €1,610 and €6,350 in a typical month, and the top tenth €8,880 or more. For one home, enter its address and bedroom count in the Airbnb income calculator: it compares the home with similar listings nearby.
What is the average Airbnb occupancy rate in Barcelona?
Listings in Barcelona were booked on 54% of available nights over the past year. That compares with 44% for the Catalonia average. October is usually the busiest month.
How much does an Airbnb cost per night in Barcelona?
The average booked night in Barcelona cost €211 before fees. Half of listings charge between €79 and €255, so bedroom count and location move the price more than the average suggests.
Do you need a permit for an Airbnb in Barcelona?
Yes, but only in a flat that already holds a Barcelona tourist-use (HUT) licence: no new licences are being added, the roughly 10,000 existing ones are due to end in November 2028, and renting out individual rooms to tourists is not allowed. The Barcelona Airbnb regulations set out the permit, its cost, the taxes on a stay and the operating limits, each linked to its official source.
Is Airbnb profitable in Barcelona?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Barcelona Airbnb grossed €38,032 in the 12 months to September 2026, 62% above the Catalonia average of €23,548. Run by its owner, with the cleaning fee covering the cleaner and everyday costs for Airbnb's fee, utilities, supplies, upkeep and insurance, €26,802 a year (about €2,230 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 €3,670 a month. Check a specific home in the Airbnb calculator.
