While it boasts a 3-Star Regional Airport rating for its facilities and cleanliness, some areas like food, retail, and Wi-Fi connectivity could see improvement.

Common Complaints
- Limited Shopping and Dining Options: The airport does not offer a wide variety of shopping or food and beverage choices, with food and retail services rated at 65%. Only small cafés and snack bars are generally available.
- Subpar Wi-Fi Performance: Wi-Fi quality is a notable concern, with a low satisfaction rating of 40%.
- "Getting to the Airport" Experience: The convenience of getting to the airport is rated lower at 65%, suggesting potential challenges or less-than-ideal transportation connections for some travelers.
- Misleading International Status: Despite being renamed "Qionghai Bo'ao International Airport" in April 2024, as of 2025, the airport exclusively handles domestic flights and does not serve international routes, which could be a point of confusion for international travelers.
- Security Wait Times During Peak Hours: While security is generally efficient, current wait times can reach 30 minutes during peak periods (5-8 AM, 11 AM-1 PM, and 4-7 PM).
Qionghai Bo'ao Airport serves effectively as a domestic gateway, particularly noted for its well-managed basic operations and a generally pleasant, albeit limited, terminal environment. Travelers should be aware of the domestic-only flight status despite its international designation and plan for potentially longer security waits during busy times.
