    I was and am very very happy with my overall Homestay experience as the homestay with Catherine and John, Jarvis and Paco added immeasurably to my positiv experience of being and studying in Edinburgh. Catherine and John are great. They are authentic, trustworthy, open-minded, benevolent, funny and warm-hearted. Although I could come and go as I wished, had my own key and total privacy I have felt like a family member. Catherine and John were always open for a chat.
    My room was nicely decorated and spotless and the hosts are very generous (e.g. I got fresh towels several times during my stay). The bathroom facilities were very good and I was very welcomed to use the kitchen (fridge, oven, washing machine etc.). I was very happy with the location of the of my homestay. The next bus stop is just 1 minute away and several different busses made it easy for me to head in every direction. I really enjoyed my time and look forward to next time.

    Catherine and John were absolutely fantastic. They went beyond being gracious hosts, and their place is beautiful and comfortable. They made us feel at home and were always there to help. There is a direct bus line (26) which brought us to the city center, and the stop was a mere five minute walk from their door. All very convenient. Their home is in a green and quiet area, with a convenient grocery store also about a five minute walk away. Highly recommended! We'll go back for sure.

    Lovely host family, Catherine, John, Jarvis and Paco are welcoming, kind, attentive, always available for a chat in the evening, and give great advice on lots of activities to do and places to visit in their beautiful country.
    Their house is spotless and cozy - it's located in a quiet area, very well connected to the city centre.
    I felt right at home from the get-go, and would love to stay with them again.
    Missing Edinburgh already... Thank you for having me!

    Catherine e John sono stati fantastici, gentili e accoglienti in una casa pulita, ordinata e molto comoda in tutto. Se torno in Scozia spero di prenotare ancora con loro!!!

    Quiet location. Beautiful garden, clean and very nicely decorated house. Catherine and John are friendly, very helpful, always available for a chat and ready to give advice on amazing spots to visit. Staying with them contributed to making our first holiday ever in Scotland a memorable experience.

How do I book?

Contact the host to check their availability and ask them any questions you have about staying with them. Once the host confirms they’re available for your dates, you can complete your booking.

When do I pay?

Once a host confirms they're available, you can go ahead and pay the 15% booking fee (maximum of 250 $£€ for longer term bookings) and a 25% deposit using a choice of payments: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Maestro, Laser, JCB & PayPal. The deposit is collected in advance on behalf of the host to protect against no show or late cancellations (within 7 days of arrival). You then pay your host the balance due on arrival. The 25% deposit payment is made to the host 2 business days after your scheduled arrival date. This deposit payment will only be refunded if you cancel the booking at least 7 full days prior to arrival.

When can I share my contact details?

Host and Guest email address, phone number and home address will be exchanged in a confirmation email sent to both immediately after a booking is completed. It's against our policy for Guests and Hosts to exchange direct contact details via our messaging system.
