Bad rating – and now?

“Food was delicious, unfortunately unfriendly service, therefore only 1 star.”
Who hasn’t experienced this? Suddenly a new review appears on the internet – on Google, Tripadvisor, Jameda, Kununu or another platform. Just one star, and for no real reason. Whether it’s a restaurant, doctor’s surgery, craft business, online store or employer: a single bad review can significantly damage a good reputation and the trust of potential customers.

Ratings – both a curse and a blessing

Online reviews should give other users an honest impression. Whether you are booking a hotel, choosing a lawyer or buying a product – almost everyone looks for stars and comments first. But not every review is factual or justified. Negative reviews are often written in the heat of the moment: a disgruntled customer, a misunderstanding or even deliberate damage to a competitor’s reputation. Particularly annoying are anonymous 1-star ratings without justification or false factual claims.

Bad or incorrect evaluation – you don’t have to accept this

Fortunately, you don’t have to put up with unjustified or offensive reviews. If false facts are claimed in a review, the author can be warned and obliged to delete it. A lawyer can check the unlawful review for you, write to the author, demand a cease-and-desist declaration and claim damages. The costs are usually borne by the author.Unfounded opinions that are not based on any real experience can also be unlawful – for example, if someone writes: “incompetent doctor” or “fraud!” without ever having been a patient or customer. Such reviews violate your right to privacy or your company’s right to privacy.
