The average Batumi short-let earned about $3,100 over twelve months — on 33% occupancy

AirROI's figures for Batumi, covering August 2025 to July 2026, show an average occupancy rate of 33.3%, an average daily rate of about 58 dollars, and average annual revenue of roughly 3,105 dollars per listing, across about 3,900 active listings. Set those three numbers side by side and the arithmetic of a seasonal market becomes visible: a respectable nightly rate, multiplied by a calendar that is empty two nights in three, produces a modest annual figure.

An average across thousands of listings mixes a well-run sea-view flat with a professional host and good photographs together with a unit that was listed in March and forgotten. The spread around 3,105 dollars is therefore very wide in both directions, and the average is not a forecast for any particular flat. What it is good for is a sanity check: if a seller's projection for a Batumi apartment is several times this figure, the burden is on them to show the occupancy and rate that produce it, month by month, from an actual booking history rather than a model.

Revenue is not yield. Out of a short-let figure come the platform's commission, cleaning and laundry between stays, utilities and internet, building fees, consumables, repairs, the management share if someone else runs it, and tax. Vacancy also has a cost beyond lost nights: a flat that sits empty through winter still carries its fixed charges. Anyone comparing a Batumi short let with a plain long lease should run both to a net figure after all of that, because a long tenancy at a lower headline rent can finish ahead once twelve months of cleaning, commission and empty weeks are counted.
