Frequently asked questions
For consumers
Is Vookamba free?
Yes. Reading and writing reviews is completely free.
Do I need an account to read reviews?
No. Anyone can read reviews. You only need a free account to write one, vote “helpful”, or report a review.
How long until my review appears?
Usually less than 2 business days. Every review is checked by our moderation team first.
Can I stay anonymous?
Your display name is shown with your review. You can use a nickname, but it must be consistent and not impersonate someone else. Your email address is never shown publicly.
Can I change or delete my review?
Yes, at any time from your dashboard. Edited reviews are re-checked before the changes go live.
My review was rejected. Why?
We email you the reason. The most common causes are missing proof of a genuine experience, personal information, or language that breaks our guidelines. You can fix and resubmit it.
For businesses
How do I claim my business?
Create an account with your work email, find your business, and click “Claim this business”. We verify claims manually. See For businesses.
Can I remove a negative review?
No. Neither you nor Vookamba can remove a genuine review. You can reply publicly, and you can flag a review you believe breaks our guidelines for our team to assess.
Someone posted a fake review of my business. What can I do?
Flag it from your claimed profile with as much detail as possible. Our team investigates every report and removes reviews that fail verification.
Can I ask customers to leave reviews?
Yes, as long as you ask all customers (not only happy ones) and never offer a reward for a positive review.
Privacy & data
What data do you hold about me?
See our Privacy Policy. In short: your account details, your reviews and activity, and basic technical logs.
How do I delete my account?
Email us from the contact page and we will delete your account. Your reviews may be kept in anonymised form so that business scores remain accurate.
