Revenue
How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Guildford?
Gross bookings per Guildford listing averaged £22,363 over the 12 months to September 2026 (England average: £19,455), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Guildford listing brings in £3,250 in July, its best month, and £1,890 in January, its slowest. Both ends are close calls: July leads August by 5%, and January sits just 1% below February, so either pair can swap places in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 31% 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 £4,620+ a month, about 2.7 times the typical property.
- Strong performers (top 25%) earn £2,960 or more, roughly £1,200 a month above the median.
- Typical properties (median) earn about £1,740 a month.
- Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn £784 or less, about 45% 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 Guildford Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Guildford Airbnb took in £22,363 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about £1,260 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 £2,160 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the £1,520 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about £1,380 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about £1,080 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 Guildford's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Guildford listings are booked on 71% or more of their nights, against 48% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of £110 adds about £1,110 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge £165 a night or more, against a median of £110. 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 £2,080 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, July brings the average listing about £3,250, against £1,890 in January, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Guildford listings average 4.83 stars, and 56% 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 £3,180 a month, against £1,860 for the average one.
