How Fiverr Reviews Work | A Simple Guide

If you use Fiverr, you know that reviews are very important. Reviews are the stars and comments people leave after a job is done.

If you are a buyer (hiring someone) or a seller (doing the work), you need to understand how they work. Here is a simple guide for you.

What are Fiverr Reviews?

When a project ends, the buyer and the seller can talk about their experience.

Stars: You can give 1 to 5 stars. 5 stars is the best.

Comments: You can write a short message about the work.

How the Process Works

The review process is "blind." This means:

The buyer writes a review first.

The seller writes a review for the buyer.

Neither person can see the other's review until both are finished.

This makes the reviews more honest.

Why Reviews Matter for Sellers

If you sell services on Fiverr, reviews are your "grade."

More Stars = More Customers: Buyers look for sellers with many 5-star reviews.

Search Rank: If you have good reviews, Fiverr shows your "Gig" (your service) to more people.

Level Up: To reach "Level 1" or "Level 2," you must keep a high rating (usually 4.7 stars or more).

Why Reviews Matter for Buyers

Sellers also look at buyer reviews!

If a buyer is rude or difficult, sellers might see a bad rating and decide not to work with them.

Being a "Top Buyer" helps you get better service and faster replies.

 

Important Note about "Private Reviews"

A few days after the order is finished, Fiverr asks the buyer for a private review.

Note: Only Fiverr sees this. It helps Fiverr know if the seller is truly good. Even if the public review is 5 stars, a bad private review can hurt a seller's rank.
