Some reviews not showing publicly? Hidden? Shadow banned?

Good day to all,

I know this subject has already been discusted here quite a lot and a lot of people seem to be frustrated. I can only agree with them and also share my imense frustration.

I am a local guide level 8 (maybe more in reality?), in total I have written 607 reviews and guess what ? Only 205 reviews are shown publicly.

Below my profile when I’m connected to my account showing 607 reviews:

And below my account as shown to the public with only 205 reviews:

Google decided somehow to remove from the public 402 old reviews of mine (most of my reviews from my life in Dubai, my travels in Bali etc are not public anymore). How I am supposed to find the motivation to continue to help the community and my fellow locals & travellers with my reviews if all these hours/days spent can be suddenly annihilated without warning and reason given. I can’t even imagine the time spent for these 402 reviews or should I say for nothing finally.

I filled the form below but as google does not give any deadline and does not commit on giving an answer I have sadly few hope that my case will be heard and my 402 reviews published again.

I hope something could improve to not have people feeling the same as me after all these years making google reviews. Wishing you all good luck and prosperity.

Best regards.

Hello @Ced6919

There are many of us who are going through this issue. I am missing quite a lot of reviews and lately even photos aren’t showing. Take a look at the following discussion.

You have filled in the form so all you can do is wait for the team to check your account.
