Your Trustpilot TrustScore appears in search results, on your own website and in the eyes of every customer who checks you before buying. A few unfair ratings can pull it down quickly. If you want to remove negative reviews from Trustpilot, the key is to understand what Trustpilot will and will not take down, and then to build a strong, accurate case. This guide shows you how Trustpilot review removal works and how to report a Trustpilot review properly.

Which Trustpilot reviews can be removed?

Trustpilot is built for genuine customer feedback, so it keeps honest negative reviews. It can remove reviews that break its guidelines, including:

How to report Trustpilot review content

  1. Log in to your Trustpilot business account.
  2. Open the review from your reviews list.
  3. Use the report (flag) option and pick the reason that matches the guideline broken.
  4. Explain clearly. Add a short, factual note, for example that you have no order matching this reviewer.
  5. Wait for the decision. Trustpilot’s moderation team reviews the report and may contact the reviewer.

The Trustpilot dispute review process

When you report a review, Trustpilot can ask the reviewer to provide documentation of their experience. If they do not respond or cannot show it, the review may be removed. If your report is rejected, you can respond with additional evidence. A Trustpilot dispute review works best when it is specific. Cite the exact guideline, include dates and order records, and keep the tone factual.

Mistakes that get reports rejected

Reply while you wait

Trustpilot lets you respond publicly. A short reply that thanks the customer, addresses the issue and offers a way to resolve it can improve how readers see the review. If the customer is satisfied, they can also update their rating.

Frequently asked questions

Can Trustpilot reviews be removed at all?

Yes, but only when they break Trustpilot’s guidelines. Reviews that are fake, not based on a genuine experience, abusive, or that expose private information can be reported. Honest reviews from real customers stay up.

Does Trustpilot ask the reviewer for proof?

It may. When a review is reported as not based on a genuine experience, Trustpilot can ask the reviewer to show evidence of the purchase or interaction. If they cannot, the review may be removed.

Can I pay Trustpilot to remove a review?

No. Paid plans do not buy removals. Every review is judged against the same guidelines regardless of whether you have a free or paid account.

What should I do while the report is pending?

Reply publicly and politely. A calm response shows readers you take feedback seriously and can soften the impact of the review while Trustpilot decides.
