On SKYTRAX, the airport got a 3 out of 10 stars, a rating comprised of 264 reviews. Passengers noted the poor service, as well as the fact that there was only “one check-in desk” for multiple flights. Overall, it seems that the Rome–Fiumicino International Airport has a lot of room for improvement.
