Heathrow Airport Reviews 

Terminal 4 toilets are absolutely gross. Dirty Sanitary towels lying on the floor. Absolutely stunk! Poo stains. Unbelievably poor standards. Told the clearer who just shrugged. Disgusting and not a nice way to start holiday. Holiday my toilet for not being able to deal with hygiene 🤢. Overflowing sanitary bins are a big no no! As someone linked to the cleaning industry. Terminal 4 needs assistance!!!

Drop off charge. Another reason to loathe UK and capitalism.

the staff is very rude and passive aggressive. The lady at the front desk purposely mixed up my tags because she was in a bad mood. Terrible costumer service. Destroyed my suitcase. Worth airport I’ve ever been to in my entire life.

Increasing the drop off charge to £7 in the new year is a 40% increase in 2 years - a bloody scandal

This review is specifically about security staff. I have to admit they seem to be improving based on my last 2 experiences.
For medical reasons, I cannot go through the body scanner. Plus it is not mandatory to go through, you can refuse.
Because of past bad experiences at an airport starting with G and ending with K, i am always filled with dread when I approach security (doctor's letter at the ready should I need it).

But my last 2 experiences have been fine. Staff accepted that I would not be going through scanner, did not ask to see medical evidence, and were polite and professional about it.
I was pleasantly surprised and only hope they keep it up.

Returned to Heathrow terminal 3 on Sunday morning. This country is a total shambles , NO information about incident , over reaction yet again and utter chaos around and in the airport. To many penguins walking about with no information. Britain's biggest airport , virgin please go back to Gatwick, so much better there. Heathrow airport a joke around the world.

f I could I would probably give it a 1/2 star. Heathrow Terminal 2 absolutely shocking.
We ordered 2 wheelchairs for my parents who are in their late 80’s. What a surprise only one wheelchair turned up because their colleagues were still coming. Long story short made my mom walk and I found a wheelchair. I pushed her all the way to the buggy. The buggy then took us to an area just in front of passport control. There were 4 of them who firstly could hardly speak English and not one of them lifted a hand to assist. The one woman didn’t even budge just sat there on her phone. They said we must wait for someone to help us but we had a taxi booked and they were wasting our time. I then when and got 2 wheelchairs we got my parents in there and off we went. Absolutely useless and can’t believe us as travelers pay for these type of people to be in a job. What happened to you have to speak English to live and get a job in England. What a freaking joke. Heathrow Terminal 2 you have lost the plot.

Extremely rude male security staff. Terminal 5 9:50am Bay 8. 04.12.25.

Absolutely satisfied with the wheelchair assistance services provided by ‘Jovan Goes’ at the Heathrow airport today. He went extra mile to support my mom. Many thanks

I received a parking fine from APCOA Parking for use of Terminal 2 Drop Off Zone without making a payment. The signage and road layout is ridiculously confusing, especially at night, and it was a mistake that caused no hold-ups to anyone. I stopped for a matter of seconds to tell a member of airport staff that I was lost. It's despicable that Heathrow Airport penalises people for mistakes like this. £40 is completely unjustifiable - it's clearly just a very easy cash-cow, and I don't need to do any research to know I must be one of many who make the same mistake on a daily basis. Everything else about Heathrow, there and back, was excellent. What a dim understanding of customer experience to end so many people's holidays with a letter waiting for them when they get home demanding £40. Cynical and grim. Wasn't my £200 for a week's parking enough?

Makes Atlanta - Hartfield feel like paradise. Horrendously laid out. Oversensitive security, and lounges so overcrowded as to deny entrance. I would rather go through Sheremetevo (not really, but close).

Staff are Brilliant
Security Brilliant
Food hall and shops Brilliant
Toilets are horrendous, every visit, (2 so far this month) the toilets are blocked, overflowing or out of order?? How is this allowed to be such a frequent occurrence in such a new building. Unacceptable standards,cause bad experiences which cause bad reviews.
T5 management, you should be ashamed.
This is not a reflection on cleaning staff in anyway, what an unenviable job they have with this situation.

The security process was flawless and staff friendly. The main food hall however didn’t have any charging outlets working . Cables were lying loose under chairs.

I travel abroad at least three times a year and twice this year every time I have travelled passing through terminal 3 I have not managed to find one working power point. There seem to be many power points but none of them work. Not only is it frustrating but it has caused me so much emotional stress it is unbelievable.

Terminal 5 at Heathrow has terrible signage at both arrivals and departure areas. I found it misleading and confusing. It was very hard to find where to check in with BA, as I had no boarding pass. On arrival the signage towards customs and baggage reclaim was misleading. Many other people were also milling around in confusion. And we are British, so have no problem with language-felt especially sorry for foreign travellers.
The staff at the bus/ coach pick up area and onward travel desk were rude, dismissive and unhelpful -ultimately happy to leave a lone elderly female stranded at night when coach was cancelled.
I much prefer the services at Gatwick.

The staff in the restaurant were very friendly and helpful. They were busy, but they still took the time to make each customer feel special. Our order came with a smile and just a friendly composition.
Staff members Edward, Karen and Aesha:’ must be commended for their high standards of excellence on today.

Thank you

Shambolic check-in experience at 7am on Monday morning. Huge queues for the bag drop due to too many broken and closed machines.

Some people held up the queues by trying to check in more bags than their allowance or overweight bags. Zone D was very busy and F was fine but still everyone piled into zone D; better crowd control is needed.

The name bag drop implies it will be a quick process but sadly too many people cannot manage this quickly.

This terminal regularly induces panic attacks when I travel through it. It appears to be run by people whose main goal is ruining your travel experience as thoroughly as possible. Who could possibly have predicted an arriving plane would need a gate? Baggage taking upwards of an hour before starting to come out? And horrifically laid out and designed, up down up down. Even if your flight is decent you will be aggravated before you board and driven wild on arrival. I have now given this multiple chances and will be choosing any other option, even if it involves an indirect flight.

I experienced at Heathrow security screening between 6–7am on [date] before flight British Airways.
Staff were rude, dismissive, and one officer searched my personal underwear with dirty gloves previously used for another passenger’s items. When I objected, she threw my belongings aside. She also refused to provide her name. A manager present (“Bob/Bobby”) was slightly more cooperative but overall the process was humiliating and distressing. Staff also falsely claimed to have found scissors in my new coat, which is impossible.
This treatment left me crying throughout the airport and I had to contact my psychologist. I request urgent investigation, accountability for those involved, and assurance that such behaviour will not happen again.

Poor queuing management - people who jump the queue not pushed back - encourages poor behaviour and staff do not care, nor are the queuing lines set up adequately to prevent queue jumping.
