Yelp, an online business directory, over the years has become an integral tool for many when choosing a restaurant, beauty salon or bar. The reviews on the platform serve as an indicator for the quality of a specific business and could ultimately either attract or deter a customer from giving the business a first try. 

There are times when we write a review for a business on Yelp that we later regret for certain reasons. Fortunately, Yelp does allow its users to make mistakes and remove wrong reviews. Here's how.
