How to Turn Off (or Remove) Facebook Reviews and Recommendations

Facebook reviews are now "Recommendations," and you can't delete them one by one. But you can switch the whole Reviews section off and report ones that break the rules. Here's exactly how, on the new and classic Page layouts.

✅ Quick Answer

You cannot delete individual Facebook reviews (Recommendations). What you can do: turn off the entire Reviews/Recommendations section via your Page settings, and report any review that violates Facebook's Community Standards. Turning the section off hides all recommendations from visitors at once.

Why You Can't Delete a Single Facebook Review

Facebook treats Recommendations as user-generated content—like comments—so a Page owner can't delete an individual review they dislike. Your two real levers are: turn the whole section off, or report reviews that break Facebook's rules so Facebook removes them.

If a one-star review is genuine but unfair, the best response is often a calm public reply, not removal.

How to Turn Off the Reviews Section (Classic Pages)

On the classic Page layout:

  1. Go to your Page → Settings.
  2. Click Templates and Tabs in the left menu.
  3. Find Reviews in the tab list and toggle it off (or click Settings → turn off "Show Reviews").
  4. Save. The Reviews tab and all recommendations disappear from your Page.

How to Turn Off Reviews (New Pages Experience)

If your Page uses the newer layout, the path is different:

  1. Open your Page → Professional dashboard (or Page settings).
  2. Go to Settings → Privacy → Page and tagging / Reviews.
  3. Turn off the Reviews / Recommendations toggle.
  4. The section is hidden for all visitors immediately.

Note: Facebook's Page UI changes often. If you don't see these exact labels, search "Reviews" inside your Page settings—the toggle is always under settings, not the public Page.

How to Report a Fake or Abusive Review

Reviews that contain spam, hate speech, or are clearly fake can be reported for removal:

  1. Open the Recommendation on your Page.
  2. Tap the three dots (⋯) on that review.
  3. Choose Report / Find support or report and select the reason (spam, harassment, etc.).
  4. Facebook reviews the report and removes it if it violates Community Standards.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I turn off reviews on my Facebook Page?

Classic Pages: Settings → Templates and Tabs → toggle Reviews off. New Pages: Settings → Privacy → turn off the Reviews/Recommendations section. This hides all recommendations from visitors at once.

Can I delete a single Facebook review?

No. Facebook doesn't let Page owners delete individual recommendations. You can turn off the whole Reviews section or report reviews that violate Community Standards.

How do I remove a fake or abusive review?

Open the recommendation, tap the three dots, and choose Report. If it breaks Facebook's rules (spam, hate, harassment), Facebook can remove it.

Will turning off reviews delete existing ones?

No—it hides them. If you turn the Reviews section back on, the previous recommendations reappear. They are hidden, not deleted.
