Revenue

How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Lagos?

Gross bookings per Lagos listing averaged €24,895 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Faro average: €22,961), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.

In a typical year, the average Lagos listing brings in €5,870 in August, its best month, and €1,340 in December, its slowest. January runs within 4% of December, so either can be the slowest in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 45% 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 three times as much as a bottom-quarter one.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn €5,790+ a month, about 2.6 times the typical property.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn €3,720 or more, roughly €1,500 a month above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) earn about €2,250 a month.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn €1,240 or less, about 55% 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.

August earns about 4.4 times what December does

Averages per active listing in each month. Highlighted: the highest-revenue month of the 12. RevPAR is the month's revenue spread over its nights, booked or not. Booking lead time is the days between booking and check-in, and length of stay the nights per booking, for stays in that month.

The typical Lagos listing earns about €2,250 a month, but one property can land well above or below that. The short-term rental calculator gives a range for a specific address, built from the comparable listings around it.

Profit

Is an Airbnb in Lagos Profitable?

Yes, when it's run well. The average Lagos Airbnb took in €24,895 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about €1,450 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 €2,410 a month.

Cleaning it yourself keeps the €1,650 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about €1,580 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about €1,250 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 Lagos's Top Earners Get There

  • More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Lagos listings are booked on 73% or more of their nights, against 51% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of €140 adds about €1,400 in bookings.
  • Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge €215 a night or more, against a median of €140. 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 €2,320 a year.
  • Open for the busy months. In a typical year, August brings the average listing about €5,870, against €1,340 in December, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
  • Reviews that stand out. Lagos listings average 4.75 stars, and 42% 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 €3,430 a month, against €2,070 for the average one.

The busiest tenth of listings are booked about three times as often as the bottom quarter.

That is before cleaning, management, taxes and financing. Busier, better-run listings do far better: the top quarter took in €3,720 or more in a typical month.

How much can I make on Airbnb in Lagos?

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 Lagos?

Listings in Lagos were booked on 50% of available nights over the past year. That compares with 44% for the Faro average. August is usually the busiest month.

How much does an Airbnb cost per night in Lagos?

The average booked night in Lagos cost €185 before fees. Half of listings charge between €99 and €215, so bedroom count and location move the price more than the average suggests.

Do you need a permit for an Airbnb in Lagos?

Is Airbnb profitable in Lagos?

Yes, when it's run well. The average Lagos Airbnb grossed €24,895 in the 12 months to September 2026, 8% above the Faro average of €22,961. Run by its owner, with the cleaning fee covering the cleaner and everyday costs for Airbnb's fee, utilities, supplies, upkeep and insurance, €17,365 a year (about €1,450 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 €2,410 a month. Check a specific home in the Airbnb calculator.
