The Edlets Staff were readily available and answered all my questions promptly and clearly. Their high rating on trust pilot was very reassuring to me looking to rent some thing in Edinburg coming from the United States. All around a very positive experience.

Great service

Old-school website, great service!
I looked for a 2-month stay in Edinburgh, and received great help from the Edlets staff. They suggested various apartment for me and my family, and helped negotiate the price on the place we decided on. You do pay (quite a bit if it's a long stay, I think) for this, but when traveling from overseas I think it was worth it for the security!

Hijacking Bookings - Avoid/Scam

I originally booked my stay through Airbnb, only to receive a message one day before travelling from someone at Edlets informing me the property was no longer available. They then suggested that if I cancelled my booking on Airbnb, they could offer me the same property through their own website. This is utterly disgraceful - they exploited my situation, knowing I had little choice so close to my trip.

When I checked their site, I discovered they had added their own commission. Instead of Airbnb receiving the service fee, Edlets pocketed £190 themselves. This is nothing short of shameless behaviour from a company presenting itself as professional, while in reality hijacking bookings and fees from other platforms.

It took me weeks before I felt calm enough to write this, but I want to warn others: Edlets’ practices are highly unethical, predatory, and take advantage of travellers in desperate situations. Avoid this company if you can.

Dear Paull,

Thank you for your unverified review. We have thoroughly investigated the matter and can confirm that the events you describe did not take place.

1. No record of this booking – We have checked our systems in detail and found no booking, payment, or cancellation matching your account. The “reference number” you provided is not a valid Edlets confirmation number and does not exist in our database.

2. No evidence provided – Trustpilot’s process requires reviewers to provide verifiable documentation when a review is disputed. For the scenario you describe, that would mean:
- A genuine Airbnb booking confirmation with a valid reference.
- Proof of payment (Airbnb-issued receipt).
- The message thread showing the alleged contact.
- Any email from Edlets.com with full headers.
None of this has been produced. Instead, only an invalid reference number, a generic Gmail address, and a fictitious US “555” phone number have been supplied — none of which substantiate the claims.

3. False allegations of misconduct – Your review alleges that Edlets acted as a “scam,” engaged in “hijacking,” and behaved in a “predatory” way. These are very serious claims that are wholly untrue. Our records confirm that no such situation ever occurred.

4. Pattern of competitor abuse – Only days ago, Trustpilot removed a different false review against Edlets after we provided clear evidence linking it to a competitor. We are concerned this review is part of the same campaign and have submitted further supporting evidence to Trustpilot.

Edlets has been established in Edinburgh for over 20 years, helping thousands of guests find accommodation. Our policies are simple and transparent: when accommodation is unavailable, guests are refunded and assisted — never exploited.

We have asked Trustpilot to review this matter urgently. Until their investigation is complete, we kindly ask readers to treat this review with caution.

Kind regards,
Alison Rogers

THE BEST!

I was struggling with some of the other rental companies when looking for an apartment in Edinburgh. What a gift to find Edlets! They found exactly what I needed and were so easy to work with, very professional and knowledgable. I wouldn't look anywhere else!
