My review has been held back or removed. What do I do?

You get an email with the decision and the reason. You can edit the review, or appeal if you disagree.

  3. Is the company pressuring you?
  4. If it doesn't work

When we hold back or remove your review, you get an email. The decision is also shown under My profile and under Notifications.

Find the decision

  1. Log in and go to My profile.
  2. Find the review under Reviews. Use the Held back filter if needed.
  3. Under Decision you see the reason, the rule, the case number and the appeal deadline.

Choose what you want to do

  • Has it been held back? Choose Edit and resubmit, and fix what the decision is about. That's usually the quickest way. Read Edit a review that has been held back.
  • Do you disagree? Choose Appeal the decision. You have 6 months from the decision. The appeal is handled by a different member of staff from the one who made the decision. Read Appeal a decision.
  • Has it been removed, and have you had a new experience? Then you can write a new review.

Is the company pressuring you?

Companies may never demand that you delete or change a review, and they can't remove it themselves. If you're being pressured, report misuse. Read more in Pressure from a company.

If it doesn't work

  • No email? Check your spam folder. The decision is always shown under My profile.
  • Can't find the review? Check that you're logged in with the email you wrote the review with.
  • No button to appeal? Then you've already appealed, or the deadline has passed.

If that doesn't help, contact us and include the case number.
