Does low rating mean that I am at fault?

[Btaliat]

There are many reasons why freelancers can get low rating from the clients. Sometimes, not all low rating are the fault of the freelancers. There are some freelancers that are insatiable. They don't want to be satisfied. Even if the freelancers try their best making them happy, they will still rate the freelancers down. That's why freelancers should not commit this to heart. Just work on how to redeem your image for otheer clients. What's your take?

Ratings can be misleading sometimes. A client who was never going to be happy no matter what will still leave a bad score, and that doesn't reflect the freelancer's actual work. Other clients can usually tell when a profile has one odd low rating among many good ones.

Some clients just have unrealistic expectations from the start. They want ten things done for the price of two, and when you can't deliver all of that, they punish you with a bad rating. That's not a reflection of poor work, it's just an unfair client.
