Airbnb Long-Stay Guests Vienna – 30+ Day Strategy for Maximum Revenue
Long-stay bookings (30+ days) are the underrated revenue booster: lower cleaning costs, higher occupancy, and they don't count toward the 90-day short-term rental limit.
Short-Term vs. Long-Term: Revenue Comparison
| Factor | Short-term (2-7 days) | Long-term (30+ days) |
|---|---|---|
| Nightly Rate | €90-120 | €55-75 (with discount) |
| Cleaning Costs/Month | €400-800 (10-20 turnovers) | €45-90 (1-2 turnovers) |
| Linen Costs/Month | €150-300 | €20-40 |
| Airbnb Fee | 3% | 3% |
| Wear & Tear | High | Low |
| Management Effort | High | Low |
| Net Revenue/Month | €1,500-2,500 | €1,200-1,800 |
| Effort per € Revenue | High | Very low |
Legal Advantage: Bypassing the 90-Day Rule
Key Legal Insight (per Vienna Building Code)
The 90-day limit applies only to short-term rentals (guideline: 2-30 days per stay). Rentals of 30+ days are considered mid-term and are not subject to this restriction.
Hybrid strategy: 90 days short-term (peak season) + rest of year with 30+ day bookings = maximum occupancy without needing an exemption permit.
