As of June 2026, Kutaisi has 497 active Airbnb and VRBO listings. This represents a 9% decrease from the previous year.
The average Airbnb or VRBO in Kutaisi generates GEL9K per year. High-performing properties earn GEL29K/year, while low-performing properties earn GEL3K/year. This wide revenue variance suggests that profitability is heavily skewed toward top-tier listings, indicating that market saturation does not impact all hosts equally.
Airbnb and VRBO can be profitable in Kutaisi. Average annual revenue is GEL9K with 19% occupancy. High-performing properties earn up to GEL29K/year. The delta between average and high-earning units highlights that competitive advantage is currently concentrated in a small segment of the local inventory.
The average occupancy rate for Airbnbs and VRBOs in Kutaisi is 19%. This occupancy level, combined with an average nightly rate of GEL121, results in a RevPAR (revenue per available room) of GEL20 per day.
3-bedroom properties demonstrate the strongest performance in Kutaisi, with annual revenue of GEL15K. These properties balance operating costs and rental demand most effectively in the Kutaisi market. Property performance varies significantly by location, amenities, and management quality.
Short-term rental regulations vary by jurisdiction in the Kutaisi area. I don't have reliable, current data on Kutaisi's short-term rental regulations or enforcement reality. Georgia's regulatory framework for STRs is generally underdeveloped at the municipal level, and Kutaisi-specific rules are not well-documented in available sources. Without verified information about permits, restrictions, or actual enforcement practices, I cannot accurately classify the city's regulatory environment. Always verify current regulations with local authorities and obtain necessary permits before operating a short-term rental.
The Kutaisi Airbnb and VRBO market is currently showing balanced conditions. Supply has declined 9% year-over-year, while RevPAR has decreased 4%. This contraction in both supply and revenue suggests a natural market recalibration where underperforming inventory is exiting the system.
Launch around May, 2-3 months before peak summer season (August peaks). This pre-peak timing lets you build reviews when competition is 9% lower than peak months. Avoid launching during peak season when established listings dominate, or slow months (December-February) when gaining traction is harder.
The most common amenities in Kutaisi listings include: Kitchen (100%), Air Conditioning (98%), Washing Machine (95%), Heating (89%), Tv (87%). Amenities that boost revenue the most include Bbq, Pets Allowed, Heating, with Bbq properties earning approximately 110% more (GEL42K/year vs GEL20K/year).

Over the past year, the Kutaisi Airbnb and VRBO market has seen the following changes: supply declined 9%, revenue per listing decreased 4%, occupancy fell 5%, average nightly rates increased 12%, and lead time decreased 9%.
