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

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.
