Edit or Remove a Posted Review on Yelp

See a review that no longer suits your cool, or misspelled something? Or do you just have different thoughts about the review after you posted it, and think you'd like to remove it fully? With Yelp, there's a way to edit it and remove these problematic reviews.

Steps

  1. Decide how much of the review you'd like to edit or change. If it's so much that complete removal is needed, a separate button that is located on all reviews will be needed.
  2. Try to determine why these edits need to be made to the review. Maybe it's something simple, or maybe it's too complex to describe in a few words, or maybe things just changed and you've seen a new experience first hand, determine this reason. Write a Review Update on Yelp can help you make some changes to updated reviews/changed reviews in your experience.
  3. Visit the Yelp web page.
  4. Click the "About Me" tab, from the Yelp home page. From this page, you'll see your reviews.#Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click the white button(with red lettering) that says "More", if the review is not found on this page.
    • As you roll through page after page, the more visualized buttons will turn into "More" hyperlink (non-visualized links). Click "Next" to advance to the next page. If you need to back up a page, at the top and bottom of each part of the page, you'll also find a hyperlink marked "Previous". Click this button to go to the previous listing of reviews you've written.

Editing a Review

  1. Click the corresponding link to the review you'd like to edit. The links can be found directly underneath your review towards the left hand size of each item. The two links are titled "Edit" and "Remove".
  2. Make all the edits you'd need to make.
  3. Click "Post" after your edit is complete.

Removing a Review

  1. Click the "Remove" button if you would rather like to remove the full review instead.
  2. Confirm the removal of the review. Click on the Confirm button when the page that states "For those who'd like to remove the review instead" shows up.

Tips

  • Every action you try to take on Yelp (messaging, creating a review, etc.) has an "out" feature, in case you intentionally do NOT want to send the message (before actually sending/publishing the message. To cancel sending a review/message, click the hyperlink (non-button) called "Cancel" near the "Send"/"Publish"/etc. button.
  • First time writers of written words in the business community section, please be sure to read the Talk page guidelines before submitting any talk page messages to the site.

Warnings

  • On occasion, you'll walk across a business that are no longer in business (and are marked as "CLOSED" by Yelp moderators right on the top-level location page.) On this page, you'll find no other reviews. A major rule as a Yelp member, is not to re-review these closed businesses.
