How to Remove a Fake Bing Places Rating

Most Bing reviews come from Tripadvisor and other partners, not Bing itself. Here is how to find the source, report it in the right place, and escalate if needed.

A single fake review on Bing Places can pull your rating down and reach customers who never hear your side. Bing Places does remove reviews that break its rules, but only when you flag them correctly and make the right case. Acting fast and accurately matters more than acting loudly.

Recognizing a Fake vs. a Negative Review

Under Bing's content reporting process, a harsh review from a real customer is allowed, even when you disagree with it. Bing Places listings aggregate reviews primarily from Tripadvisor and other third-party partners rather than collecting their own natively, so most reviews visible on a Bing listing originated elsewhere. To address a fraudulent or false review on Bing, you need to identify its source platform and report it there. Bing does not have a first-party review removal dashboard for businesses.

The Exact Steps to Flag a Review on Bing Places

  1. Check the review label — most Bing reviews show a source badge indicating whether they came from Tripadvisor or another partner.
  2. If the review is from Tripadvisor, report it through the Tripadvisor management centre.
  3. If it is a Bing-native rating or from an unlabelled source, contact Bing Places support through the Microsoft support portal at support.microsoft.com.
  4. Claim and verify your listing through Bing Places for Business at bingplaces.com to ensure your business information is accurate.
  5. For content that is illegal or defamatory, use Microsoft's online content-reporting process.

What to Do if Bing Places Rejects Your Appeal

Because most Bing reviews originate from partner platforms, your escalation path is through the source platform, not Bing itself. Once addressed there, the updated content typically flows back to Bing. For Bing-native ratings, Microsoft support is the only escalation route.

Stop Reacting, Start Defending

Most fake reviews are spotted too late, after they have already cost you customers. Speed matters because a review flagged while it is fresh is easier to act on. Saint Aura notifies you whenever a new review lands, so you can review and report a fake right away. It also gives unhappy customers a private feedback path so your team hears about service concerns directly — helping reduce the chance they escalate into a public review.
