Yeosu Airbnb Pricing — 2026 Real-Host Strategy Guide

Yeosu market overview

Yeosu has approximately 1,200 Airbnb listings, with more than half clustered around Dolsan Island, Ungcheon, and the central night-view zone. 4-guest weekday ADR runs ₩135,000, weekends ₩200,000–260,000.

The decisive variable in Yeosu is the night view. Same location, same square footage — listings whose living-room windows frame the night skyline command 25–40% higher ADR. A single photo can carry an entire listing's pricing argument here.

Competition is most intense from May to September. Top-location units clear 85%+ occupancy in the July–August peak; in the Dec–Feb off-season, occupancy drops to 35–45%. The seasonal swing rivals Gangneung.

Seasonal pricing patterns

Summer peak (Jul–Aug): 4-guest total ₩300,000–400,000/night. Yeosu Night Sea Festival weeks absorb ₩500,000+ pricing — festival dates are typically published in late April, so you have a narrow window to adjust upward.

Spring (Apr–Jun): Camellia bloom, cherry blossoms, and the night-cable-car season opening drive demand. Weekday ADR can absorb 8–10% increases without booking-rate damage.

Off-season (Dec–Feb): even weekday rates below ₩100,000 and weekend rates around ₩150,000 only get you to 35–45% occupancy. Hosts who use workation packages and long-stay discounts hold revenue better than those who just cut prices.

Weekday / Friday / weekend tier pricing

Weekday (Sun–Thu, 17 days/mo): 4-guest ₩125,000–150,000. Business and short weekday-trip guests dominate.

Friday (4 days/mo): +35–50% over weekday at ₩170,000–210,000. Many guests now book Friday-only as a workaround to Saturday premium pricing.

Weekend + holidays (Sat + public holidays, 9 days/mo): ₩200,000–260,000, peak summer ₩300,000–380,000. Hosts who apply a 2-night minimum on weekends tend to clear higher ADR than those accepting Saturday one-nighters.

※ Sunday counts as a weekday tier in our methodology — observed Korean-market booking patterns place Sunday demand closer to Wednesday than to Saturday.

Foreign-guest mix and location effects

Yeosu has a 15–20% foreign-guest share — lower than Gangneung. Most foreign guests are short-trip travelers from Japan and Southeast Asia, and they decide based on night-view and sea-view photos.

Location premiums: walkable to Dolsan Park cable car +20%, walkable to Yeosu Night Sea (Yi Sun-sin Square) +25%, near Manseong-ri Beach +15%. These three zones effectively form the top 30% of Yeosu pricing.

Often overlooked: parking. Yeosu has many narrow-alley locations, so a guaranteed parking spot alone adds ₩10,000–15,000 to ADR. Make sure parking is in the cover photo and listing description.

Net earnings after the 15.5% host fee

Example: a 4-guest listing with average guest total ₩190,000 (weekday ₩135,000 / Friday ₩185,000 / weekend ₩250,000) at 60% occupancy generates roughly (17 × ₩135,000 × 0.60) + (4 × ₩185,000 × 0.60) + (9 × ₩250,000 × 0.60) ≈ ₩3,168,000/mo.

After the 15.5% host fee (single-fee structure from May 2026) and cleaning settlement, net earnings come to ~₩2,675,000/mo. Listings with the night-view premium (+25–40%) can clear ₩3,300,000–3,750,000 net at the same occupancy.

The decisive months for Yeosu revenue are July and August. Two listings with the same operating costs can end the year 1.5–2× apart in net revenue depending on whether they merely 'survive' the off-season or capture ₩6–8M in peak summer.
