How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Matewan?
Gross bookings per Matewan listing averaged $22,126 over the 12 months to September 2026 (West Virginia average: $28,292), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Matewan listing brings in $3,400 in May, its best month, and $962 in December, its slowest. Both ends are close calls: May leads October by 5%, and December sits just 1% below February, so either pair can swap places in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 36% of a full year's revenue, where an even calendar would give any three months 25%.
Across Matewan's 24 active listings, monthly revenue by tier:
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn $4,990+ a month, about 3.1 times the typical property.
- Strong performers (top 25%) earn $3,020 or more, roughly $1,400 a month above the median.
- Typical properties (median) earn about $1,600 a month.
- Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn $928 or less, about 58% 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 Matewan Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Matewan Airbnb took in $22,126 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $1,190 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 $2,260 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the $2,390 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 $1,020 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 HOA or condo fees.

How Matewan's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Matewan listings are booked on 41% or more of their nights, against 26% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of $185 adds about $1,830 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge $255 a night or more, against a median of $185. 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 $1,970 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, May brings the average listing about $3,400, against $962 in December, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Matewan listings average 4.87 stars, and 58% 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 $3,470 a month, against $1,840 for the average one.
