Allow both customers and listing owners to submit reviews on listings.
When enabled, users can rate and provide feedback directly from the listing page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Permit listing owners to review their own listings.
This is useful for adding initial ratings or highlighting new listings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reviews from guests are subject to moderation before being published to ensure authenticity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Auto-Approve Reviews<\/strong>
Automatically approve all submitted reviews without manual moderation.

\n

Tip: For better control and to prevent spam, it\u2019s recommended to disable auto-approval.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
