Google Places API: Place Details limited to 5 Reviews

Question

https://developers.google.com/places/documentation/#PlaceDetails

The "reviews" output list is apparently limited to the top 5 reviews. This isn't mentioned at all in the documentation. Is there way to get paginated results or more than 5?

Answer 1

This is explicit stated in the documentation here , under the reviews[] field explaination:

reviews[] a JSON array of up to five reviews.

There is currently no way to retrieve more than 5 reviews. If you think this would be a valuable feature you can submit a Places API - Feature Request here .

Answer 2

You can now actually get all of the reviews, all you need to do is use a google's my business api.

There is more work to do for you, but it meets all requirements for sorting/filtering reviews.
