Belgium short-let questions

Which Belgium city earns the most on Airbnb?

Ghent. A median listing there grosses £8,775 a year, the highest of the 3 Belgium markets we track.

What occupancy should I expect in Belgium?

The median across Belgium markets with live data is 36%. Individual cities vary widely, and occupancy within a city varies more than between cities — the street matters more than the market.

How many Airbnb listings are there in Belgium?

7,545 active listings across the 3 Belgium markets we track — counting only listings with at least one booking in the last 12 months, so dormant listings don't inflate the figure.

Methodology: per-city medians are computed from the latest Inside Airbnb snapshot, filtered to active listings (≥1 booking in the last 12 months). Annual revenue is the median per-listing gross.
