Genuine negative feedback should be addressed head-on. Yes, some people will never be satisfied, but you should do your due diligence to ensure that you've made an attempt. Unrelated are the reviews that had problems not related to your product or service. Finally, there are people who like to complain just for the sake of complaining. There's not much you can do. You could reply and apologize that they feel that way, and you would like to make it up to them. Then it appears you desire to work out whatever the issue was. If there is something you can fix, then do so quickly and ask them to update the review. If not, at least you show that you care about customer satisfaction, and people will realize that it's them, not you.
