New: Visitor Levy Uplift in Bookster

Bookster has announced the launch of a new “Visitor Levy Uplift” feature designed to help Scottish holiday-let businesses easily adjust their prices to allow for the recently introduced Visitor Levy.

The new feature allows hosts to apply a simple 5% uplift for the first five nights of any booking in Edinburgh, and is ready to be used in any area where a similar visitor levy applies.

The setup is quick, the process is seamless for guests and hosts alike, and the solution is built with the future in mind for holiday lets based in Scotland.

With regulatory changes increasing the administrative burden on hosts, Bookster’s Visitor Levy tool offers a streamlined way to cover the future cost of the levy. The uplift calculation is automatic, the tool integrates into the existing booking-workflow and you retain full control.

Key features include:

  • 5% uplift on bookings.
  • Easy configuration of nights when the levy applies.
  • Seamless guest experience – no additional steps required by the guest.

Built with flexibility for future expansion to other Scottish regions.

“Our hosts told us they needed a quick, dependable way to cover the cost of the Visitor Levy without disrupting their booking process,” said Robin Morris, MD at Bookster. “We’ve designed this new feature to be simple, effective and future-proof for Scotland’s holiday-let sector.”
