Looking for a simple way to hide or remove the default Reviews tab from your WooCommerce product page? In this article, I’ll show you how to disable the WooCommerce reviews tab in just two clicks.

Displaying Reviews helps to build trust, but WooCommerce’s built-in “Reviews” tab can sometimes hurt more than it helps — especially when it shows irrelevant feedback, spam, or empty “No reviews yet” sections. Many store owners remove it to keep product pages cleaner and more conversion-focused.

After reading this blog, you’ll be able to hide the Reviews tab without any coding — and even override the reviews tab name or show it only on specific products with complete control.

Let’s get started!

What is the WooCommerce Default Reviews Tab?

The WooCommerce Reviews tab is a built-in product tab that displays your customer ratings and written reviews for each product. It includes the review list and the review submission form, and appears automatically on every single product page — whether or not any reviews exist.

While this tab helps to see real feedback from previous customers, sometimes it might lose its purpose. For example, empty review sections, irrelevant comments, or spam submissions can reduce trust instead of increasing conversions. That’s why many store owners choose to hide or remove the default WooCommerce Reviews tab and replace it with a cleaner, more controlled layout.

The Important Reasons Behind Hiding or Disabling the Default Reviews Tab:

• WooCommerce automatically shows it, even with zero reviews, creating a messy product section.
• Low-quality, irrelevant, or spam reviews can damage credibility instead of building trust.
• For many stores (digital goods, services, B2B), reviews aren’t relevant and may confuse customers.
• The default Reviews tab can clutter your product page, pushing important content lower.
• Less control over which reviews appear on which product or how the tab is displayed.
• The design depends on your theme, which may conflict with your custom layout.
• Unnecessary when already using a custom review tab or a curated testimonial layout.
