Critical: Professionalism, Responsiveness
Situations change, especially at this moment in time. How you treat your customers in times of change defines your business. This was a very poor experience. Poor communication skills and a disrespectful attitude mean I won’t be using their services again.

Property was stunning, however Agency failed to communicate well on terms and conditions of flat. On arrival nothing was mentioned on heating, electricity,etc. Although there is a written confirmation its common decency to greet guests on arrival and i would suggest laying out the ground rules for tenants stay at the beginning of contract. All issues whilst staying were reported but now we are having to debate our security deposit due to this lack of communication.

Absolutely brilliant agency. They’ve found us awesome properties over the last 3 years for the Fringe and have always been incredibly efficient and helpful.
Now we’ve had to cancel this year due to coronavirus Dickins have been incredibly flexible with the cancellation ts&cs - way above what I expected.
Can’t recommend them highly enough and sending them best wishes in these difficult times.

I want to start out by saying that Dickins is an outstanding group of friendly and efficient people to work with. Our experience with them could not have been any better. We were a visiting academic couple seeking a 5 month accommodation in the center of Edinburgh. I had contacted probably 20 different companies while looking for a place to rent. Most sent me polite messages like, "see us when you arrive". Not Dickins. They immediately emailed me back, asked what I was looking for and set me up with a great home in exactly the area we wanted to stay. That was the easy part. Shortly before we arrived

Rented the apartment at Lower London Road. Sadly had to cancel the second week, which was dealt with by Dickins without any problems. The apartment was excellent! Really well equiped and the nice complementary bottles of wine went down well.
We'll definitely will be booking with Dickins again for next years Fringe!

Lived there 3 weeks. Nice flat, in the city centre, clean and well equipped. Unfortunately, bad service: To get and to give back the keys very inconvenient, not enough detailed description of the flat, keys didn't fit well, just once new towels in 3 weeks and only after asked for, delievered with delay. Everything else asked for was denied, or threatened with very high extra fees. Wouldn't recommend it to friends.

We needed accommodation in Edinburgh for one month, and it was our language institute that recommended us to contact Dickins based on previous positive experiences. We are delighted with the extraordinary treatment received by this company, and we will certainly use their services again in the future.

Thank you for a great holiday! We had a lovely time in the apartment. It was clean and fresh and well equipped as well as beautifully decorated. There was absolutely everything you need and it felt like a home. It was also walking distance to the city and all the tourists attractions which made it even more convenient. It was a pleasure to stay with you and we will definitely be back.

Rented a flat from them- very lovely, very kind people with amazing properties. We were welcomed in our flat by an amazing hamper of delicious groceries which was very helpful as we arrived late- full of goodies for all Travellers such as coffee, cookies, milk etc In addition, there was an abundance of toiletries provided from wonderful Brands such as white company etc - they even thoughtfully included face wash! All this was very helpful for road weary Travellers. In addition, they were so prompt when we contacted them about anything- honestly the most efficient service I've experienced in the

I rented out the only apt they had available during the Fringe Festival, for my family and 80 yer old parents. Completely paid in advance and in full months before the rental dates over 8K USD. When we arrived the apt was in a horrible building, the apt itself had not been maintained. It need to be painted, the icemaker was on the floor in pieces, there was mold in the shower stalls and all the towels and linens with worn thin. I was told ...that it did need maintenance and that it was student housing. though the pictures were accurate, they neglected to photograph the parts of the apt

Absolutely amazing from the start till even after my stay.
Great houses, Great locations, Great service, Unbelievably friendly and welcoming staff.
The rental flat was spot on clean, equipped with everything you might ever need, the furniture was both new and stylish, fairly good Internet.
The kitchen utilities had everything you need, a dishwasher, a microwave, an oven , a stove, big fridge and freezer and washing machine, all were nicely hidden in the decor of the kitchen.
The bathroom was again spot on clean, it had a big tub and a shower they both worked brilliantly.
