If you refuse money - all claims of the customer go past the cash desk, he will not be able to leave any negative reviews and ratings.
But do not strive for perfectionism, there are a number of blackmailing clients who are looking for freelancers with a perfect rating and arrange the situation in such a way that they have to refuse payment.

If you stop the contract and do not leave a review, you can still get feedback (and ruin your reputation). It is solved only by a refund (which is not always pleasant).
On the other hand, if you have a lot of positive reviews, then the average value is displayed in the profile, which will not suffer much from a negative review.
For example, a week ago they first left me a review of 3 * (the rest were from 4.5 to 5). As a result, the average value decreased from 4.83 to 4.76.
