Displaying reviews in the Booking Engine

By default, all channel reviews are shown in the Booking Engine. To hide/display a review in the Booking Engine please follow the next steps:

1. Go to your Hostaway Dashboard > Reviews
2. Under the Action column > Click on the eye icon

Notes

• Ratings are based on visible reviews on the Booking Engine
• When you (un)hide a review in Hostaway Dashboard it will take a minimum of 10 to a maximum of 30 minutes to update the review ratings in the Booking Engine
• The "eye" icon is an action button that reflects the current display status, this will either show the review or not on your website, if it is open it means it's not visible on the website, but when selected it will become crossed out, which means the review is currently active and visible on your website
  
  

Edit a review

You can edit a review by pressing the pencil icon next to the review:

1. For Hostaway reservation reviews all fields are editable
2. For OTA reviews (Airbnb or Booking.com), only the reviewer name field is editable
   • The reviewer name field is taken from the guest first name field from the reservation
   • If reviewer name is empty, then the review will be displayed as Anonymous
