5 smart ways to save energy without compromising guest comfort

Running a vacation rental is about more than just having a beautiful space — it’s about keeping it sustainable and energy-efficient. These simple tips will help you lower your energy bills while keeping your guests comfortable.

Stay cool — without cranking up the AC

Set your AC between 24°C and 26°C and use ceiling fans to help circulate the air. Your guests will stay cool — and your energy bills will stay in check.

Start with the natural breeze

Open the windows during the cooler hours of the day and let the sea — or countryside — breeze work its magic. It’s a natural touch your guests will love!

Let shade be your best friend

Keep curtains and blinds closed during the hottest part of the day. It helps your space stay naturally cool — no need to keep the AC running nonstop.

Think smart, light smart

Replace traditional bulbs with LED lighting. They last much longer, use up to 80% less energy, and help create a warm, welcoming atmosphere for your guests.

Friendly reminders

Place small signs with messages like:

‘Turn off the air conditioning and lights when leaving.’

Guests love being part of eco-friendly stays — and you’ll save on energy too!
