Is Airbnb revenue declining?
No. Airbnb’s revenue rose in every year shown in the table above, through the pandemic recovery and after it. For full-year 2026, Airbnb now expects revenue growth to improve to at least mid-teens, so the top line is still expanding rather than shrinking.

View the data
GBV is the dollar value of bookings before Airbnb takes its cut, so it runs far above revenue.
By the numbers: Airbnb’s implied take rate, defined as revenue divided by GBV, was 13.2% in Q2 2026, in line with Q2 2025. Airbnb has announced plans to move most remaining hosts to a single 15.5% service fee. A stable take rate means revenue tracks booking value closely, so GBV is the better guide to platform demand.

What size Airbnb is most popular?
By growth, entire homes with four or more bedrooms lead: they are the fastest-growing size on Airbnb. In Q2 2026, Airbnb saw entire homes, especially listings with four or more bedrooms, continue to grow the fastest. In North America, growth in short-term stays and entire homes continued to outpace long-term stays of 28 days or more and private rooms.
Group trips explain the pattern: One larger home costs less per person than several hotel rooms, and the bedroom-nights metric captures that shift.
Conclusion
Airbnb’s revenue increased by 10% to $12,241 million in 2025, and its network has grown to over 5.5 million hosts. The filings show the fastest growth in larger homes and most revenue coming from markets outside the US. The app took 64% of nights booked in Q2 2026, while the take rate held steady.
For full-year 2026, Airbnb expects revenue growth of at least mid-teens and an Adjusted EBITDA Margin of at least 35.5%. Its third-quarter 2026 results are due on November 5, 2026, the next check on whether the World Cup lift carries into the rest of the year.
