Reviews that don't publish

Hello @edbrill welcome to the Local Guides community!
All posted reviews, photos and videos are checked by an AI filter, not only for obeying the rules, but also and most importantly to fight SPAM and false information. Just a little suspicion causes the review to be rejected and hidden to the public.
Unfortunately, Google will never tell us the exact reason and doesn’t even notify us, if that happens, as you already found out.
If there are photos or videos attached to a review and only one of them is rejected, the entire review including all other attached media will be hidden.

In fact, I can tell 10 out of your 191 reviews and 16 of your 386 photos are hidden:

Therefor as a first step, I suggest to remove all hidden media and watch if the text-only review is accepted.
For more information, I recommend to read How to Get In and Out of Trouble: The Main post.

In fact deleting and re-submitting without changing anything, is the worst thing you can do. It will be rejected again and you risk to get banned for spamming.

You might also post a link to one of those places here, together with a screenshot of you rejected review. Possibly some other local guides can give some hints.

Hope this helps for now. Please let us know, if you have questions.
