What is the best thermostat for a short‑term rental?

Choosing the right thermostat for a short‑term rental can make a big difference to guest comfort, energy costs, and day‑to‑day management.

Unlike a family home, short‑term lets are used by many different guests. Without the right controls in place, heating can easily be left on too high, forgotten about, or adjusted in ways that drive up bills.

So what should you actually look for?

Key features to look for:

• Simple controls
  Guests should be able to adjust the temperature easily, without instructions or confusion.
  
  
• Temperature limits
  The ability to set sensible upper and lower limits helps prevent excessive energy use while still keeping guests comfortable.
  
  
• Reliable, low‑maintenance operation
  A good thermostat should work quietly in the background, without needing constant resets or attention between stays.
  
  
• A clean, professional look
  A modern, discreet design reassures guests that the property is well managed.
