Is this correct?

This place doesn't smell bad.

The sentence above means that the place has a good smell or natural smell. It also means that the place has a natural or good smell, right?

Thansk Emotion: smile

Hi, It can be said with those meanings, but really the words themselves just mean there is no bad smell. Maybe there is a good smell. Maybe there is no smell at all.
