How can I get more than 20 results on Google Places API?

The documentation says that the Places API returns up to 20 results. It does not indicate that there is any way to change that limit. So, the short answer seems to be: You can't.

In order to have access to more than 5 reviews with the Google API you have to purchase Premium data Access from Google. That premium plan will grant you access to all sorts of additional data points you have to shell out a pretty penny.

If you are a Business owner wanting to retrieve all of your reviews, you can do so but first you have to get verified and could do this through the MyBusiness API more info here: https://developers.google.com/my-business/

There is a feature request for that: Issue 7630: Response to Include More Than 5 Reviews ─ I'd recommend you "star" it to receive updates.
