From 24 July 2026, the City of Edinburgh will introduce a Visitor Levy (sometimes referred to as a tourist tax). This is a 5% charge on paid overnight accommodation.

Here’s what guests should know:

The levy is 5% of the accommodation cost, calculated before VAT

It applies to the first 5 nights only of a stay
(for example, if you stay 7 nights, the levy only applies to nights 1–5)

The rate is 5% year-round, with no seasonal variation

It applies to stays from 24 July 2026 onwards

Bookings made and paid for (in full or part) before 1 October 2025 will not be subject to the levy, even if the stay is after July 2026

Why this may feel unclear

Across Scotland, different local authorities have voted for different approaches — some areas have introduced a 5% levy, others 7%, and some have chosen not to introduce a levy at all. This means rules vary by location.

At present, there is also no standard way for booking platforms to collect the levy automatically. Local guidance suggests the levy should be included in the total price guests pay, but booking platforms, do not yet offer a clear mechanism to add this at checkout.

We, along with many hosts across Scotland, are awaiting further clarity and a more streamlined system ,ideally one where the levy is clearly shown and collected at the time of booking, as is common in many European cities.

Our commitment to guests

As required from 1 October 2025, we are legally obligated to inform guests of this upcoming levy in advance. Our aim is to be transparent and ensure there are no surprises.

We expect further guidance well before the levy comes into effect and will update our listings accordingly. By the time this applies, we hope the process will be clearer and easier for everyone.

If you have any questions, please feel free to get in touch, we’re always happy to help

IMPORTANT: On behalf of our host at Pass the Keys, we require guest verification facilitated by Truvi (Previously called Superhog). Upon confirming your booking, Truvi will contact the lead booker via a secure link, providing detailed instructions for the verification process.

The online verification requires a government-issued photo ID and a credit or debit card. During this process, you may choose between a refundable GBP 500 deposit (plus GBP 10 transaction fee currency equivalent) or purchase a non-refundable damage waiver of GBP 40 (currency equivalent) to cover potential damages during your stay.

Once the verification process is successfully completed, check-in information will be provided. If you opted in for a deposit, this will be refunded via credit/debit card after your stay, subject to an inspection of the property.

Travel cot available on request (additional fees), Please note that bedding is not included

      I liked: Very spacious apartment, great location, nice part of the city and had everything we needed during our 3 night stay. The picture of all the pub stops on the wall was a VERY helpful touch! I did not like: We had one minor issue with knowing how to properly lock the door which wasn't super clearly laid out in instructions but we figured it out quickly and they were responsive when we brought up the issue. Summary: Amazing space to spend a few days in the city! ... Read full reviewClose

    • Graham Cameron 06/08/2025
      I did not like: The door handle to the flat was loose. Previous renters should have reported this (maybe they did). It got so bad that when we left we couldn’t actually lock the door. Also very noisy bathroom fan. Using the bathroom light in he night meant waking up my partner. There were 2 almost identical TV remotes but no info as to which did what. Summary: Great location, couple of minor issues. ... Read full reviewClose

      I liked: Location was perfect, very easy to reach in walking distance of all the main attractions. We had everything we needed including toiletries, communication with the host was very good. Would definitely stay again. I did not like: Cigarette smell on entering the property through the corrider was a little off putting. Summary: Great for a short break, close to lots of restaurants and shops, very comfortable living. ... Read full reviewClose
    • Nojus Majauskas 19/03/2025
      I liked: The location is about 15 min from the city centre. There are shops and cafes nearby. I enjoyed the location. The apratament was clean and nice. All the necessites in the kitchen, bathroom and bedroom was provided. The bed was comfy. It is perfect to stay for a few nights for a couple I did not like: The first problem that we came upon is the front door opening. It wasn't mentioned anywhere that you need to turn the key counter-clockwise to unclock it, so we were strugling for 10 minutes trying to get in. Another issue was cold floor. The floor stayed cold even if we turned up the heat. The apartament was really cold in during the first night of the stay. Be aware that besided booking you will be required to pay a 40 pound waiver or a deposit of 500 pounds(+10 pound transaction fee). ... Read full reviewClose

    • CRISTIAN KOCH 19/06/2024
      Agradable. El departamento era muy cómodo. Cuando abrimos la puerta de entrada y ví el pasillo pensé Nos estafaron esto es una pocilga! Con cierto recelo introduje la llave en la cerradura y al ingresar todo cambió para bien. Hay tres críticas de la cocina eléctrica solo uno de los cuatro calentadores andaba, no tenía internet y la vista al back yard estaba empobrecida ya que el pasto llevaba meses sin cortar y había varias bicicletas abandonadas El dueño o el administrador deberían ocuparse de mejorar esos aspectos ...
