Frequently Asked Questions

What is a good Airbnb occupancy rate?

A good Airbnb occupancy rate varies by market but generally 50-65% is average, 65-80% is good, and 80%+ is excellent. Seasonal markets may see 90%+ in peak months and 20-30% in off-season. Urban markets tend to have more consistent occupancy year-round.

How much does Airbnb take from hosts?

Airbnb charges hosts a service fee of approximately 3% per booking under the split-fee structure (where guests also pay a service fee). Some hosts opt for the host-only fee structure at approximately 14-16% where guests see no separate service fee.

Is Airbnb more profitable than long-term renting?

Airbnb can gross 2-3x more than long-term rent in popular markets, but higher expenses (cleaning, furnishing, utilities, management, turnover) reduce the gap. Net income is often 20-50% more than long-term renting. However, STR requires more active management and faces regulatory risks.
