how to get total number of reviews from google reviews

With the google places api, it is possible to get details related to user reviews of a place. Looking at the documentation and it seems that I can get the following details:

  • rating: 0-5 based on user rates and this is the average of all submitted reviews
  • last 5 user ratings

However, there doesn't seem to be any reference to

  • total number of reviews
  • count total for each rating ie, 5/5: 5 reviews, 4/5: 23 reviews, ...

Anyone have an idea on where to get this information?

How do you see how many views your reviews have on Google?

To see your overall review stats, go to Your contributions on Google Maps for Android or iOS. Then, tap REVIEWS. At the top of the screen, you'll see how many people have liked and viewed all of your reviews. You can also see likes and views on each individual review.

Is 4.7 A good Google rating?

They don't all agree on the perfect range for a score – the widest range suggested is 3.7 to 4.9 – but most of the other studies suggest a much narrower range – something like 4.2 to 4.6. If a business has a lot of reviews and a perfect 5.0 score, it's human nature to suspect that something's not right.

There is a new, yet to be documented, details result key user_ratings_total. I believe this is the number of ratings that have contributed to the overall rating.

I don't believe the API currently provides count totals for each rating value. You could request this enhancement (if it hasn't been already) at gmaps-api-issues.
