Staying in an air bnb for a couple of nights and the place was very cold when we arrived and it seems to take ages to heat up but doesn't retain the heat for long at all.

We have had the electric heaters on way more than we would normally and are getting very conscious of the cost to the owner. Debating between ourselves if we should leave some cash, maybe 20 quid, towards the cost when we leave. Just wondering what others think?

Yes. I would put it in your review. Some properties fall well short of what one should reasonably expect.
