Revenue

How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Cheras?

Gross bookings per Cheras listing averaged RM 16,887 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Selangor average: RM 16,017), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.

The average Cheras listing brought in RM 3,530 in July, its best month, and RM 1,550 in October, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 35% 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 4.1 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn RM 4,510+ a month, about 2.7 times the typical property.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn RM 3,030 or more, roughly RM 1,300 a month above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) earn about RM 1,690 a month.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn RM 737 or less, about 44% 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.

Cheras Airbnb Data by Month

Latest 12 months in the September 2026 data. September's figures are still coming in, so the rows run to August.

July 2026 led on revenue. Nightly rates peaked in August 2026 and bookings in June 2026, so the best-paying month is not always the busiest or the priciest.

Profit

Is an Airbnb in Cheras Profitable?

Yes, when it's run well. The average Cheras Airbnb took in RM 16,887 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 RM 30,220, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about RM 1,730 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 Cheras's Top Earners Get There

  • More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Cheras listings are booked on 53% or more of their nights, against 30% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of RM 175 adds about RM 1,760 in bookings.
  • Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge RM 240 a night or more, against a median of RM 175. 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 RM 1,570 a year.
  • Open for the busy months. July brought the average listing about RM 3,530, against RM 1,550 in October, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
  • Reviews that stand out. Cheras listings average 4.69 stars, and 28% 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 RM 2,520 a month, against RM 1,410 for the average one.

Permits

Airbnb Permits and Registration in Cheras

None of the 254 active listings in Cheras display a registration, permit or license number. That doesn't mean no rules apply: some places don't ask hosts to show a number on the listing, and listing data doesn't capture every scheme.

Registration, permit, zoning and tourist-tax rules vary by address and change often, so confirm them with the local authority before buying or listing in Cheras.

That is before cleaning, management, taxes and financing. Busier, better-run listings do far better: the top quarter took in RM 3,030 or more in a typical month.

How much can I make on Airbnb in Cheras?

For one home, enter its address and bedroom count in the Airbnb calculator: it compares the home with similar listings nearby.

What is the average Airbnb occupancy rate in Cheras?

Listings in Cheras were booked on 34% of available nights over the past year. That compares with 27% for the Selangor average. June was the busiest month.

How much does an Airbnb cost per night in Cheras?

The average booked night in Cheras cost RM 194 before fees. Half of listings charge between RM 125 and RM 240, so bedroom count and location move the price more than the average suggests.

Do you need a permit for an Airbnb in Cheras?

None of the active Cheras listings display a registration, permit or license number. That doesn't mean no rules apply, so confirm registration, permit and tourist-tax rules with the local authority before buying.

Is Airbnb profitable in Cheras?

Yes, when it's run well. The average Cheras Airbnb grossed RM 16,887 in the 12 months to September 2026, 5% above the Selangor average of RM 16,017, counting listings open only part of the year. A listing at the top-quarter mark, run by its owner with the cleaning fee covering the cleaner and everyday costs for Airbnb's fee, utilities, supplies, upkeep and insurance, has about RM 1,730 a month left before the mortgage or rent, so a home that costs less than that to own or rent makes a profit.
