How to Handle Negative Online Reviews
This is a good article that Sitelink Software shared:
How do you handle/respond to negative reviews?
I recently had a gentleman who rented a space from me and left an online review which was overall positive, but he mentioned two things that sort of stung. So I sent him a personal response via e-mail that I made sure was upbeat and gracious, thanking him for his business.
He moved out a month later and left a follow up review (on Google this time) that was ALL complimentary, nothing negative. I don't think he would have done that if I hadn't followed up with him on his first review.
So I know first hand that if someone gives you negative feedback (even if comes wrapped in a compliment), take it seriously! Don't ignore it.
Answer them in a winsome way that validates or at least acknowledges that their concern or their impression or their experience with your business matters to you.

The bad reviews are unavoidable, it's just unfortunate that one bad review can undo ten good ones.
