How does Removeitly clean up reviews?

You send us the review and we do everything from there. Our team takes the case on and manages the full removal with the platform until it is gone — there is nothing for you to file, submit or follow up.

What do I need to do?

Only one thing: send us the request. Share the review link or your business name and we handle the rest, keeping you updated along the way. You pay once the review is removed.

Do I pay if the review isn't removed?

No. We operate on a strict No Removal, No Fee policy. If we can't remove the content, you don't pay a single cent.

How long does it take to remove a negative review?

Google review removals usually take 0–14 days. Timeframes for other platforms vary, and we keep you updated throughout the process.

Which platforms can you remove reviews from?

We remove reviews and content from Google, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Twitter/X, LinkedIn, TripAdvisor, Trustpilot, Glassdoor, YouTube, Airbnb, and many more platforms across Australia.

Do you need access to my business accounts?

No. We never require login details or access to your business accounts. Our removal process works externally through official platform channels.

What is your success rate for cleaning up reviews in Australia?

Our success rate exceeds 90% across all platforms. We've helped over 1,500 Australian businesses remove harmful content and restore their online reputation. Reviews are typically removed successfully; however, platform decisions are outside our control and we do not take responsibility after removal.

What happens if a removed review comes back?

Reviews are typically removed successfully and reappearance is rare. If a platform later reinstates a review, that action is outside our control and is treated as a new removal request. We also offer ongoing monitoring to catch new fake reviews early.

Can you help with fake Google reviews?

Absolutely. Fake Google review removal is one of our core services. We identify policy violations and work with Google to have fraudulent reviews removed from your business profile.

Airbnb Fake Review Removal: A Host's Guide to Protecting Your Listing

Your Airbnb rating directly impacts your bookings and income. Learn how to identify and remove fake reviews that are hurting your hosting business.

Key takeaways

• Airbnb removes reviews that break its review policy
• Reviews used as leverage or unrelated to the stay qualify
• Respond before guests read the review

Why Your Airbnb Rating Is Everything

In Australia's competitive short-term rental market, your Airbnb rating is the single most important factor determining your bookings. A drop from 4.8 to 4.5 stars can significantly reduce your bookings.

Common Fake Review Scenarios

Guests who violated your rules and leave revenge reviews

Competitor hosts in your area posting fake reviews

Guests who never stayed (booking cancellations that still allow reviews)

Extortion attempts — threats of bad reviews for refunds

Airbnb's Review Policy

Airbnb has a Content Policy that prohibits reviews that are:

Biased (from people with a personal relationship to competitor hosts)

Irrelevant (about things outside the host's control)

Discriminatory or containing hate speech

Extortionate (posted as leverage for refunds)

How Removeitly Removes Airbnb Reviews

We understand Airbnb's review process intimately and know how to present evidence effectively:

Policy Analysis: We identify which Content Policy rules the review violates

Evidence Gathering: We compile messaging history, booking details, and other evidence

Formal Submission: We submit through Airbnb's proper escalation channels

Follow-Up: We persist until the review is removed

Reviews used as leverage
