Hi. We booked a house in Ohio and upon arriving discovered that it had a heating system barely making the house 53 degrees despite thermostat being set at 80. We didn't set it that high. I emailed back and forth with owner and she admitted it was a problem but she thought it would be ok. It's freezing in Ohio at 10 degrees so I think the house can prob be drafty at best when it's in the 30's or 40's but they clearly knew it was an issue as they use to live there. They Reno'd the house themselves and stripped everything down to brick walls rafters etc so there is literally not an ounce of insulation. It's a home that is literally not winterized! Coupled with a very weak heating system with only 3 tiny vents on main floor. In the kitchen you could see your breath! In the spring or fall the house would be lovely. And the host was agreeable. However I want to do the right thing review wise for the community

@Allison93. Just write what you wrote here, but in a more condensed fashion.  You can state that in very cold winter conditions, the heater is unable to heat the house beyond 53 degrees and it doesn't appear the house is winterized.  Also, you can describe the interaction with the host (they were agreeable) and whether or not you would recommend the space (better in spring, summer?). 

That's all you need to do.  A couple of objective sentences is all that is needed.

And what do you do about star rating?

@Allison93 Just give honest evaluations.  If I were staying in a place that didn't have adequate heating, I would give some low ratings.  Keep in mind, that your evaluations will inform future guests.

Also note, @Allison93, that there are some norms, at least in Europe, for standards of accommodation. You can place a complaint if the temperature is below 20 degrees Celsius, which is 68 Farenheit. That is considered, afaik, a minimum.
