The honest answers.
Answers about proof, ratings and what providers can and can't do. Nothing here is hidden behind a click.
How does verification work?
ProofAttach a receipt, a booking confirmation, or the DM thread that booked the appointment. Our team checks it matches the provider and the date. No match, no publish — and the provider never sees your proof.
What actually counts as proof?
ProofA payment or receipt, a booking confirmation from any platform, or a DM thread where the appointment was arranged. A photo of the work on its own is not enough.
How long does it take for my review to go live?
ReviewsFirst a person checks your proof by hand — we email you either way. It goes live as soon as it's approved. If we need to check something with you, that check can take longer.
What happens if my review is rejected?
ReviewsWe tell you why, so you can fix it. You can submit it again with better proof, or contact us if you think we got it wrong. Nothing is deleted quietly.
Can I edit a review after it goes live?
ReviewsNot from your account. If something in a live review is genuinely wrong, contact us. We can correct it, and the corrected review is checked again before it goes back up.
Can I post anonymously?
PrivacyYes, and it’s the default. Your review shows as “Anonymous” unless you switch that off, in which case only your first name and last initial are shown (e.g. “Tasha M.”). Your username, email and proof are never shown. Want your name shown on a review you’ve already posted? Email support@tbhreviews.co.uk.
Who sees my receipt or DM screenshot?
PrivacyOnly our moderation team. It is stored privately, never shown to the provider and never published. We keep it so we can recheck a review if it is ever reported. Email support@tbhreviews.co.uk to ask for it to be deleted.
Can a service provider pay to remove a bad review?
ProvidersNo. There is no paid tier that touches ratings. Providers can reply in public, or report a review they think breaks the rules — that is the whole of it.
I am a provider — how do I get listed?
ProvidersSearch for your business and claim it, or create a listing if you are not there yet. Our team checks every new listing and claim by hand. Once approved, you appear in Explore as unrated, and your rating switches on the moment one review clears proof.
