I would reply to the reviews. I would express my desire to change their minds about the company and seek to understand why they gave the negative review. I would give them my direct contact information and urge them to contact me for a resolution. I would then promote to satisfied customers to give us a good review to try and combat the negative rating.

The first thing is to find out why you are getting negative reviews. Internal feedback such as surveys will find that answer. Use a quality survey so that you have data to be able to dial in on the specific issues in your property. Then make a plan to resolve those issues, COMMUNICATE the steps your team is taking to resolve them with all residents, and respond to any survey respondents that have requsted to be reached out to. Once progress is made to improve the resident experience, use a reputation partner to generate new reviews. Asking after surveys is a great option, or asking after positive experiences (resident event, completed work order, new resident move-in). Always respond to ALL reviews quickly and professionally.
