Yes negative reviews affects google ranking. If the negative review is 1 or 2 then it is fine. But if the review is more than that, then it decreases the post ranking.

Google always prioritize usg (user generated content) content. So when your business running on google and google will see that your business has too much negative reviews. Then Google make it down. Google wants trust signal to valuing your content.

Conclusion is If you want to rank, then you have to earn google reviews on your business.

Yes, negative reviews can affect your Google rankings. If a business gets many bad reviews, people may trust it less. Google also checks reviews to understand if a business is good or not. Businesses with better reviews and higher ratings often appear higher in search results.

But one or two bad reviews usually do not cause a big problem. What is more important is how the business replies to those reviews. If the owner answers politely and tries to solve the problem, it creates a good impression.

So, good reviews can help a business grow, while too many negative reviews can lower its reputation and sometimes its ranking on Google.
