The Secret Behind Clean and Fresh Air In a Hotel Room
Have you ever stayed in a hotel that felt fresh from the moment you opened the door? Not only did it smell good, but it was also free from stuffiness, dampness, or musty odors. Behind that comfort lies a serious effort by the hotel to maintain indoor air quality. Today, more and more modern hotels are realizing that clean air is not just a convenience, but an essential part of the guest experience and health standards.
A smelly hotel room can have a significant negative impact, both on the guest experience and the hotel's reputation.
Impact on Guests
- Disturbed Comfort. Unpleasant odors such as musty, damp, cigarette smoke, or plumbing odors can make guests feel uncomfortable and even nauseous.
- Disturbed Health. Odors can indicate hygiene issues or mold, which can trigger allergies, asthma, or headaches.
- Bad Experience. Guests may feel that the hotel is unprofessional, unhygienic, and unsuitable for staying.
- Direct Complaints. Guests are likely to file a complaint with management, requesting a room change, or even a refund.
Impact on Hotel Reputation
- Negative Reviews on Online Travel Agents (OTAs). Guests often share bad experiences on platforms like Google Reviews, TripAdvisor, Agoda, or Traveloka. Room odor is a frequent topic of negative reviews.
- Decrease in Ratings and Rankings. Negative reviews can lower a hotel's star rating or guest satisfaction score, which will directly impact potential guest interest.
- Decrease in Occupancy Rate. A bad reputation makes people reluctant to book rooms at the hotel.
- Financial Losses. Refunds, compensation, and reduced guest numbers can reduce a hotel's revenue.
Common Causes of Smelly Hotel Rooms
- High humidity without proper ventilation (causing a musty or moldy odor)
- Leaking drains or bathrooms
- Air conditioners not cleaned regularly
- Leftover food or trash left behind
- Rooms not properly cleaned
Solutions to Improve Indoor Air Quality in Hotels
Gelair Air Treatment is here to be the SOLUTION for indoor air quality. Gelair was founded on a tea tree plantation in northern New South Wales in 1998. Gelair uses tea tree essential oil as a natural antiseptic to combat and prevent various types of fungi, bacteria, and viruses. It has proven effective in controlling Golden Staph (Staphylococcus aureus) and strains resistant to methicillin (MRSA) and vancomycin (VRSA). After gaining an understanding of the health benefits of tea tree oil, the owners developed a unique biodegradable gel containing tea tree oil for use in HVAC systems (AC cleaners) and other products for indoor cleaning applications.
