What happens when a review is reported?

If a review is reported, someone from Hellopeter will contact the reviewer to verify their review. If the review is found to be in breach of our content guidelines, it will be removed from Hellopeter. 

If the review isn’t in breach of our content guidelines, and the reviewer is certain the review is objective and factual, the reviewer may be asked to provide an affidavit confirming their review.

Reviews that have been removed don’t count towards a business’s Hellopeter metrics, and won’t affect their TrustIndex, or average star rating. If the reviewer has replied to their Net Promoter Score (NPS) email, this reply will also be removed.
