Negative keywords for hotels
Hotel ads leak to job seekers looking for front desk and housekeeping work, guests trying to log in or find a reservation they already made, and hospitality students. This list blocks them and keeps the bookers.
Updated
Before you paste: what NOT to block
Price, deal and review queries are travelers picking a room tonight. Keep these:
- hotels near me
- cheap hotels near me tonight
- hotel deals this weekend
- pet friendly hotels near me
- hotel reviews downtown
Every list on this page is a starting point, not a decree. Scan it against your own offer before applying — one business's junk click is another's best lead.

View listFrequently asked questions
Should a hotel block "reviews" queries?
No, even though review negatives are standard for most businesses. Travelers read reviews right before they book, and "hotel reviews" plus a city or neighborhood is a shortlist forming. Block review sites by name if you must, but leave the generic word alone.
Why block "hotel phone number" and "cancel reservation"?
Those are existing guests, and the booking is already made. Paying for a click to send someone to your own front desk number is pure waste, and cancellation searches are the opposite of a sale. If you track phone calls as conversions, this inflates them with guests who already booked.
These are generic industry negatives - safe in most accounts of this kind, but not tuned to yours. Inside Keyword Ninja, the Smart Blocklist cross-checks this exact catalog against your real search terms and shows the wasted spend before you block a single word.
