Welcome to your Performance page
The Performance page is your new home base in AirDNA for measuring the performance of your listings. It’s where you connect your properties (either via Airbnb or your Property Management System) and see how they actually stack up using your own real booking data.
Once your listings are connected, you can:
Track how your portfolio is doing in the past and into the future (based on bookings already on the books).
See how you’re pacing against last year — are you ahead of or behind where you were at this same point in time?
Compare yourself against the market, against your comp sets (your most similar nearby properties), and against competing property managers (PM Tool Only).
See every recent booking in one clean list.
Filter down to any slice of your portfolio — by market, by size, or by an individual listing.
Think of it as the difference between guessing how you’re doing and knowing — with the numbers laid out clearly and in context.
How the page is organized
The Performance page is made up of a few stacked sections. Each one can be opened or closed using the View / Hide button on its right, so you can focus on what matters to you. From top to bottom, the sections are:
My Snapshot — a quick, plain-English read on how you’re doing over the last 30 days, and over the next 30 days.
Comparisons — how you stack up against the market, competing property managers, and your comp sets.
Pacing — how you’re tracking against last year, looking back and looking ahead.
Bookings — a detailed list of your recent reservations.
We’ll walk through each one below.
Step 1: Connect your listings
Before you can see your performance, you’ll connect your listings to AirDNA. It’s a quick, guided process, and you only have to do it once. You have two ways to connect, depending on how you operate:
Airbnb only: If you list exclusively on Airbnb (a single channel), you can connect directly with Airbnb. You can also use this option if you use a PMS we don’t service yet.
Using a property management system (PMS): If you manage your listings through a PMS, you can connect directly to it. This pulls in all of your listings at once. For initial launch we support integrations with Guesty, Hostaway, Uplisting, and OwnerRez.
Good to know: connecting is completely safe. Connecting your listings has no impact on your actual listings, pricing, or settings. AirDNA is only reading your information so we can show it back to you. We only ever make changes on your behalf if you decide to sync rates using AirDNA’s Adapt.
Metric Definitions
How your metrics are calculated
Everything on your Performance page is calculated from your own connected data (your PMS or Airbnb). One rule applies across all the money metrics: they include cleaning fees and other guest-facing charges (after discounts) but exclude platform/OTA service fees.
Revenue: All Revenue metrics represent your Your total earnings from reservations in the period, including the nightly rate, cleaning fee, and other guest-facing charges, after discounts. Excludes platform service fees.
Rates / ADR: Similarly, rates represent your average earnings per booked night, including cleaning and other fees spread across the stay. (Total Revenue ÷ Guest Nights.)
Occupancy (Adjusted) — Occupancy represents share of bookable nights that were booked. Nights you've blocked for owner use, maintenance, or other holds are removed, so it reflects how well the nights you were actually open to rent performed. (Guest Nights ÷ Bookable Nights, where bookable = available + reserved.)
RevPAR — A single number that blends your rate and adjusted occupancy: total revenue (including fees) per night across your bookable nights nights. (owner blocks and holds removed). (ADR × Adjusted Occupancy.)
How the AirDNA comparison metrics work
When you compare yourself to the market, a competing property manager, or a comp set in the Comparisons section, those benchmark numbers don't come from a PMS — they come from AirDNA's own market data. We line each AirDNA metric up with your equivalent so you're comparing like for like. A few things worth knowing about how the benchmarks are built:
Revenue — Market revenue includes cleaning fees but excludes service fees (on Airbnb; on Vrbo, service fees are still included). This lines up with your Total Revenue (Gross).
Rates / ADR — including fees — The average booked rate per night with cleaning and guest-facing fees included. (Market revenue ÷ booked nights.) Matches your ADR (Total).
Occupancy (Adjusted Occupancy) — The market benchmark is measured as Adjusted Occupancy: booked nights ÷ bookable nights, with owner-blocked and held nights removed. AirDNA captures owner blocks in the market data, so both your numbers and the benchmark exclude blocked nights — a true like-for-like read on the nights that were actually open to rent. Matches your Adjusted Occupancy.
RevPAR — Market revenue per available night (equivalent to Market ADR × Market Occupancy).
Step 2: Use your portfolio filters
At the top of the page, just under your portfolio name, you’ll find your Portfolio Filters. These let you narrow down to exactly the part of your portfolio you want to look at. Everything on the page updates to match. (Note: If you only have one listing, you won’t see portfolio filters)
You can filter by:
Markets — the markets and submarkets your listings are located in.
Bedrooms — the size of the properties.
Listings — pick a single listing, or several at once.
You’ll also see a “Viewing X of Y listings” count so you always know how much of your portfolio you’re looking at.
A quick note: when you select just one listing, some views on the page change to show that single listing in more detail.
Step 3: My Snapshot
The My Snapshot section gives you a fast, at-a-glance read on how your listings are performing — both looking back (your last 30 days) and looking ahead (what’s already booked for the period coming up).
It’s written in plain English, so you can understand it in a glance. For example:
“Your revenue over the last 30 days was down 3% vs last year while your occupancy was up 29%. Over the next 30 days, your revenue is down 17% vs last year while your occupancy is down 17%.”
Step 4: Comparisons
The Comparisons section answers one big question: “How do I stack up against everyone else?” This is where you compare your performance against the outside world — the market, competing property managers, and your comp sets.
Like My Snapshot, it opens with a plain-English summary. For example:
“Over the next 90 days, your properties are earning 7% more than your comp sets and are averaging 8% less occupancy.”
Choosing what to look at
Inside the section, you can switch between metric tabs to focus on one thing at a time — Revenue, Occupancy, RevPAR, and Length of Stay. (When you’re viewing a single listing, you’ll see Revenue, Occupancy, and Rates.). You can also set the timeframe (for example, “Last 6 Months + Next 6 Months”), choose Daily or Monthly detail, and switch the chart style.
The Past / Future split
The chart is split into Past and Future, divided by a “Today” marker. On the left you see how you’ve done; on the right you see how you’re shaping up, based on bookings already on the books. Each side shows your metric (for example, Revenue) alongside small colored chips telling you how you compare — like “+15% vs LA 3BR” or “-15% vs Downtown 12”.
Adding a comparison
To compare yourself against someone new, click the + Comparison button. You’ll get three ways to compare:
Market or Submarket — pick a market and refine it with filters (for example, “3-bedroom homes in Los Angeles”).
Property Manager — pick a competing property manager and refine with filters, to see how you stack up against a specific competitor.
Comp Set — apply a pre-defined comp set (your most similar nearby properties).
Each comparison you add shows up as its own colored line on the chart, with a matching toggle chip (for example, “Market: LA 3BR,” “Comp Set: Downtown 12,” “PM: Vacasa LA”). You can add several at once and switch each one on or off to keep the chart easy to read. Your own performance appears as the “My Revenue” line, which you can also toggle.
How comp sets work — and why they’re so powerful
Instead of lumping your whole portfolio against one generic benchmark, AirDNA matches each individual listing to its own comp set — the most similar nearby properties.
We compare each of your listings against its own tailored comp set, then ladder those individual comparisons up into your portfolio view. So when you’re looking at the portfolio level, you’re seeing the combined result of every listing measured against its own competition.
Step 5: Pacing
The Pacing section is your home base for comparing your performance against last year — covering both what’s already happened and what’s coming up (based on bookings already on the books). It answers: “Am I on track to beat last year?”
Start with the Summary tab
The Summary tab shows all of your core metrics at once, stacked on top of each other. It’s the cleanest way to get the full picture the moment you open the section. At the top you’ll see your headline numbers for the Past period (“Performance”) and the Future period (“Outlook”), each with how it compares to the previous year.
Adjust the view to suit you
You’re in control of how the data is displayed:
Change the date range — pick the timeframe you want to look at (for example, “Last 6 Months + Next 6 Months”), or set a custom range.
Choose your detail level — view your data monthly or daily.
Choose your chart type — switch between a bar graph and a line graph, depending on whether you want to see the raw numbers or how they trend.
Understanding the three key lines
This is the most important part of the Pacing section to understand — and the part that trips people up most. Each chart can show up to three lines (turned on and off with the checkboxes above the chart), and they answer very different questions.
A simple way to picture it: bookings for any given month come in gradually over time. These three lines let you see where you stand today, where you stood at this same moment last year, and where last year eventually ended up.
1. Current — This is your own performance, as of today.
For past dates: shows your finalized numbers — stays that have already happened.
For future dates: shows what’s already on the books — stays that have been booked but haven’t happened yet.
2. Same Time Last Year — This rewinds the clock to the exact same date one year ago and shows where you stood then.
For past dates: shows what had already happened by that point last year.
For future dates: shows what was on the books at that same moment last year for the months that were still ahead.
Because both years have had the same amount of time to fill up, this is your truest apples-to-apples comparison — it answers “Am I ahead of or behind where I was at this exact point last year?”
3. Last Year Final — This shows how last year finally ended up, once every last booking had come in. It appears for future dates.
It answers the question: “How many more bookings are likely still to come?” By showing how full those upcoming months eventually got last year — versus where you’re pacing right now — it gives you a sense of the bookings that may still be on their way.
Line | Past dates show… | Future dates show… | Best for answering |
Current | Finalized stays that already happened | Stays already booked, not yet happened | “Where do I stand right now?” |
Last Year Today | What had happened by this date last year | What was on the books at this date last year | “Am I ahead of or behind last year, fairly compared?” |
Last Year Final | (not shown) | How full those months eventually got last year | “How many more bookings might still come in?” |
Step 6: Bookings
The Bookings section is a clean, detailed list of your recent reservations — every stay that’s come in, in one place. It opens with a quick count of new activity, for example: “3 new bookings this week.”
Each row is one reservation, and the columns give you the full story of that booking:
Booked — the date the reservation was made.
Property — which listing it’s for (name, size, and market). This column is hidden when you’re viewing a single listing.
Stay — the check-in and check-out dates.
Nightly Rate — the average nightly rate for that stay.
Total Revenue — the total value of the booking.
Length of Stay — how many nights the guest is staying.
Lead Time — how far in advance the booking was made (the gap between the booking date and check-in).
Guest Count — how many guests are on the reservation.
Booking Source — the channel the booking came from (for example, Airbnb, Vrbo, or Booking.com).
Sorting and filtering the list
You can sort the list (for example, by the date each booking was made) and set the timeframe you want to see — Last 3 Months, Last 6 Months, Last 12 Months, or a custom date range. As always, the list also respects your portfolio filters at the top of the page, so you can zoom in on a single market or listing.
