Will Yelp remove a false or defamatory review?

If you see a review that you believe violates Yelp’s Content Guidelinesplease report it and include any information that can help us verify the information. Yelp is a community-driven site, and removing photos, reviews, or other user content is not something we take lightly—we generally allow users to stand behind what they write. It's also important to keep in mind that Yelp doesn't take sides in factual disputes.

Where is my review?

If you aren't able to find your review, there are a few possible explanations:

If you see your review on your profile but don’t see it on the business page, it is not currently being recommended. However, users can still find it at the bottom of the Yelp page or when viewing your profile.
 

Reviews are only removed if they are found to be in violation of our Content Guidelines or Terms of Service, or if your account has been closed all together. In most cases, if Yelp removes your review, you will be notified via email by our Support team.

Why did the business information on my page revert after I changed it?

Updates from Yelp for Business (either biz.yelp.com or the Yelp for Business app) will appear on your page immediately, but they’re submitted to our moderators for review against our guidelines. As such, the changes could be subsequently rejected.

We want Yelp business pages to be simple, accurate, and generally reflective of the way consumers recognize a business. If you think we got it wrong, please submit the change again with an explanation in the Notes field (the notes field is currently available on www.yelp.com and the consumer app, but not in biz.yelp.com or the Yelp for Business app).
