Fragrance for a Holiday Let or Airbnb in the UK
SOSA · London, Manchester, Birmingham and Edinburgh
A welcome guests remember in the UK
Holiday lets and city Airbnbs live on reviews, and guests notice how a place smells the moment they open the door.

The short answer
Scent the space guests walk into first. In a holiday let or Airbnb, that is usually the living area: Vaayu if it is one large connected room, Pawan if it is compact. Keep the intensity light, set the schedule at the property, and check the oil at every changeover.
Your plan
Step by step
- The arrival room. Scent the living area guests enter first; bedrooms only if you choose.
- Keep it light. Guests vary, so a soft, clean scent at a low setting suits most.
- Set the schedule on site. Set the run window in the SOSA app while you are at the property.
- Check at changeover. Look at the oil level and wipe the machine as part of the turnover routine.
- Tell guests. Add a line to the house manual on what it is and how to switch it off.

What changes in the UK
Heated, closed rooms
UK homes are heated and kept closed for much of the year, and most are divided into separate rooms with doors, which shapes how fragrance travels.
Short-let rules
Short lets are regulated in some places, such as the 90-night limit on whole-home short lets in Greater London, so check what applies to your property.
Delivery and plugs
Orders to the UK usually arrive in about a week. Sockets in the UK are Type G, so Pawan, which plugs straight into the wall, usually needs a plug adapter. Ask us which one before you order.

Questions
Before you choose
Will guests find it too strong?
Not at a low setting on a schedule. Your house manual can tell guests how to switch it off if they prefer.
Should I mention it in the listing?
It helps. A line in the listing and the house manual tells guests what it is and how to switch it off.
Do you deliver to the UK?
Yes. Orders to the UK usually arrive in about a week. Sockets in the UK are Type G, so Pawan, which plugs straight into the wall, usually needs a plug adapter. Ask us which one before you order.
What should I send you for a recommendation?
A floor plan or rough sketch, the size of each room, ceiling height, which doors stay closed, where the sockets are, the hours the space is used and the scents you like. Photos help too.
Not sure which one?
