Quick summary
An entire place sleeping nine or more asked a median of $234 a night in Guatemala City, $415 in Antigua, $421 at Lake Atitlán and $550 on the Pacific coast in the capture of 1 Oct 2026, against $225, $423, $438 and $565 in the first capture of 4 Sep 2026. In this sample, group inventory is concentrated on the coast: 165 of the coast's 287 listings sleep nine or more, and 84% of coastal listings state a pool. The single most important caveat on this page: every rate is the nightly rate Airbnb showed in search results for that stay, and extra-guest fees are not a separate figure in this dataset — for a nine-person party, that gap is the whole game.
The cross-market picture
Data collected 2026-10-17 for a 2026-11-17 to 2026-11-19 stay. Airbnb prices change daily and by date: check live before booking.
| Market | Entire, 2 guests | Private room, 2 | Entire, 3–4 | Entire, 5–8 | Listings |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Antigua Guatemala | $103 | $56* | $132 | $208 | 235 |
| Lake Atitlán | $101 | $52* | $146 | $235 | 183 |
| Guatemala City & metro | $61 | — | $57 | $126 | 173 |
| Pacific coast | $113* | $75* | $106* | $288 | 288 |
Captured 2026-10-17 · 2026-11-17→2026-11-19 · USD (capture date · stay queried · currency), searched for 2, 6 and 12 adults, 2-night weekday stay. Captured once a month: a capped sample of Airbnb search results for one fixed 2-night weekday stay about a month ahead, priced for the party size of the search that found each listing (2 adults for anything sleeping up to four; 6 or 12 adults only for larger homes that did not appear in the 2-adult search). Not every listing, only those still open for those dates; the nightly rate Airbnb showed for that stay (a displayed promotion is usually already inside it), not booked rates. Large homes are over-represented in the sample, so compare the guest-count segments, not the overall median. * = small sample (10–19 listings); — = fewer than 10, no median.

The table below is the capture-by-capture median for an entire place sleeping five to eight, each time for a fixed two-night weekday stay about a month after the capture; the 1 Oct rates for these homes are priced for the party size of the search that found them and the 4 Sep rates for two adults, so part of any gap can be extra-guest pricing.

Each capture is a capped sample of listings for a fixed two-night stay about a month out; n = that market's listings in the capture. A dash means fewer than 10 priced listings in that segment. From the 1 Oct 2026 capture on, a listing found only by the 6- or 12-adult search carries that party size's rate, so this segment is not strictly like-for-like with the 4 Sep 2026 capture, which priced everything for two adults.

The two group segments, priced
The cross-market table above stops at the 5–8 column. The 9+ band — the one a wedding party, a family reunion or a surf trip actually books — is set out here from the same 1 Oct 2026 capture:
| Market | Entire place, 5–8 guests | Entire place, 9+ guests | Listings sleeping 9+ (of market sample) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Guatemala City & metro | $111 ($96–$162, 50 listings) | $234 ($189–$323, 41) | 45 of 175 |
| Antigua Guatemala | $277 ($181–$381, 60) | $415 ($258–$624, 95) | 102 of 237 |
| Lake Atitlán | $273 ($225–$371, 41) | $421 ($290–$529, 69) | 69 of 166 |
| Pacific coast | $269 ($202–$315, 49) | $550 ($371–$656, 164) | 165 of 287 |
Airbnb search results captured 1 Oct 2026 for a 3–5 Nov 2026 weekday stay; each market was searched with the adults filter at 2, 6 and 12, keeping the smallest search’s result where a listing appeared in more than one. Medians and p25–p75 ranges in USD. The last column counts listings by stated sleeping capacity across the whole market sample, which is why it is larger than the priced entire-place segment beside it. Large homes are over-represented in the sample, so compare the guest-count segments, not the overall median.
Against the first capture of 4 Sep 2026, the published 9+ median moved from $565 to $550 on the coast, $423 to $415 in Antigua, $438 to $421 at Lake Atitlán and $225 to $234 in Guatemala City, and the published 5–8 median moved from $153 to $111 in Guatemala City, $306 to $277 in Antigua, $325 to $273 at Lake Atitlán and $288 to $269 on the coast. Those large-home figures are not strictly like-for-like: the October rates for large homes found only by the 6- or 12-adult search are priced for that search’s party size, while September’s were priced for two adults, so part of any gap can be extra-guest pricing; the segments for up to four guests, which only the 2-adult search can return, are the strictly like-for-like ones. The two captures were drawn differently: 4 Sep was a single 2-adult search per market, while 1 Oct ran three searches per market and so deliberately holds more large homes, which is why market-wide medians, capacity mixes and the share of listings sleeping 9+ are not comparable between the two and are not compared on this page.
Two patterns are worth naming. The Pacific coast prices the biggest dollar jump between 5–8 and 9+ — $269 to $550, roughly double, while Antigua moves $277 to $415 and Lake Atitlán $273 to $421. And the coast carries the largest 9+ share of any tracked market — 165 of 287 listings, or 57%, against 43% in Antigua (102 of 237), 42% at Lake Atitlán (69 of 166) and 26% in Guatemala City (45 of 175). That describes the sample, not the market: what the capture found still open for these dates on the coast was mostly group houses.
Guatemala City sits in a different business entirely. Its 9+ median of $234 is a little over half Antigua’s $415, its 9+ inventory is 45 listings of 175, and its 5–8 band ($111) actually holds more priced entire places than its 9+ band — 50 against 41.
What a group house looks like, market by market
| Market | Typical bedrooms | Typical baths | Pool | Free parking | Air conditioning |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Antigua Guatemala | 3 | 3 | 18% | 63% | 10% |
| Lake Atitlán | 3 | 2.5 | 18% | 52% | 6% |
| Guatemala City & metro | 3 | 2 | 22% | 86% | 21% |
| Pacific coast | 3 | 3.5 | 84% | 88% | 79% |
Median bedrooms and baths, and amenity shares, across each market’s full sample (Antigua 237 listings, Lake Atitlán 166, Guatemala City 175, Pacific coast 287), captured 1 Oct 2026. These are market-wide figures, not figures for large houses only — the capture does not publish a bedroom median for the 9+ segment on its own, and none is invented here.
Read that table with its caveat attached and it still says something clear. More than four in five Pacific coast listings state a pool — 84%, against 18% to 22% in the other three markets. The coast also carries air conditioning at 79%, which for a group sleeping nine on the Pacific coast is not a luxury line item.
All four markets share the same median of three bedrooms, but not the same product: the coast’s median listing has 3.5 baths and an 84% pool share, while Antigua’s pool share is 18%, under a quarter of the coast’s 84%. Lake Atitlán sits at three bedrooms and 2.5 baths with an 18% pool share, and Guatemala City at three bedrooms and two baths. Large homes are over-represented in this sample, so these market-wide medians describe the sample rather than the typical listing in each market — another reminder that the market median and the group segment are different animals.
The rate you see is not the rate a group of nine pays
This is the caveat that matters most on this page, so it gets its own section rather than a footnote.
Every figure in this dataset is the nightly rate Airbnb showed for that stay, promotions usually already included, captured for a fixed 3–5 Nov 2026 weekday stay. Each market was searched with the adults filter set to 2, 6 and 12, and where a listing turned up in more than one search the smallest search’s result was kept — so a large home that surfaced only in the 6- or 12-adult search carries the rate shown for that search, not a 2-adult rate. Where the rate does come from a 2-adult search, a large home is shown at its floor price. The rate shown is the nightly rate Airbnb displayed for the search party size; any extra-guest fee a host sets is not captured separately — the capture does not return extra-guest fees as a separate figure, there is no field for them in this feed, so this page cannot tell you whether such a fee applies or how large it is for any given house.
The same silence applies to cleaning and service fees, which is why nothing on this site publishes an all-in total for a stay. For a two-person booking those omissions shift the number modestly. For a nine-person booking of a $550 house, they can reshape it. Take every figure here as a starting rate to compare markets with, then price your actual party size on the live listing.
Two smaller cautions round it out. These are the rates Airbnb showed for that stay, with promotions usually already inside them — 24% to 34% of listings per market displayed one on 1 Oct 2026. And the sample only sees homes still open for the queried dates, so a large house already booked for those dates is invisible to it.

Loading the sample…
Nightly rate as Airbnb showed it on those dates for the party size of the search that found each listing (2 adults for every place sleeping up to four; 6 or 12 adults only for larger homes that did not appear in the 2-adult search) (a displayed promotion is usually already inside it), before extra-guest fees, cleaning, service fees and taxes. A capped monthly sample of Airbnb search results (large homes are over-represented); amenities are what the listing lists. Under 10 matches: no median; 10–19: small sample. No individual listing is ever shown.
