I suggest eliminating your response to your user to attract the relevant supporters of your organization and assured them that every reasonable action would be taken to deal with their complaint.

Reviews and screening reviews

Although the review is based on gating, there is no problem in providing tremendous services or products in a business and actively seeking honest feelings. The winning and moral attitude for a business is to welcome all the impressions and use negative opinions in achieving continuous improvement.
