Understand which reviews to report for removal

  • Report only reviews that violate Google policies.Learn more about Google's content policies.
  • Don't reporta review just because you disagree with it or don't like it.
    • Google doesn't get involved when businesses and customers disagree about facts.
    • There's no reliable way to tell who's right about a particular customer experience.
  • You can't report third-party hotel reviews. To flag an inappropriate third-party review, contact the third-party provider directly. To go to the third-party website, click the reviewer's name. Soon after the provider removes or changes the review on their website, the update will show on your Business Profile.

Tip: Be patient. It can take several days to assess a review.
