Comparison for Airbnb hosts

Airbnb review removal: DIY, kits or specialist support?

Hosts have three main ways to challenge an unfair review: do it yourself, buy a self-serve kit, or hire a service. Here is how the approaches differ and when specialist support may make sense.

Submit a service request · custom quote by email

Your options at a glance

Do it yourself

Good for clear-cut cases if you know the policy and have proof. Risk: using up your limited requests with a weak first attempt.

Self-serve kits

Templates and guidance; you still write and submit the request yourself.

Specialist services

Someone prepares and manages the case. Some charge upfront, some only if the review is removed.

RatingRescue — case handling for hosts

We check your account for flags first, handle the case, and charge only if the review comes down.

Questions to ask any service

Do you charge before or after removal? Do you check the account for flags first? Do you tell me honestly when a review probably can't be removed? Be careful with anyone who guarantees results: only Airbnb decides.

Removing several reviews or more

For 3 or more reviews we give a custom quote. Hosts with ongoing needs can request membership support for unlimited review removals and flag removals with priority handling.

Common questions

How do I get a custom quote?

Submit your review and listing details. A specialist assesses your case and emails a custom quote before work begins.

Is paying for review removal worth it?

It can be when a review clearly breaks policy and is costing you bookings. For honest reviews, a public reply is usually better.

Do you guarantee removal?

No. Only Airbnb decides. That's why we charge only if the review is removed.

Only pay if it works

Send us your review for free and we'll tell you if it can be challenged.
