| Issue 3484: | Add # of reviews to the Place Details Results | |
| 79 people starred this issue and may be notified of changes. | Back to list |
Currently the Place Details Results contains the rating of a business which is great. However, it does not show the number of reviews for the place which is a very important piece of information in deciding whether a rating is useful or not. A place with a high rating and high number of reviews is much more valuable than a place with the same rating but low number of reviews. For example, for the Burma Superstar place page (http://maps.google.com/maps/place?q=burma+superstar&cid=4754924583893187023), the API returns that the place has a rating of 4.0. It would be great it I could get that the 4.0 rating came from 3569 reviews, which is on the place page. ********************************************************* For developers viewing this issue: please click the 'star' icon to be notified of future changes, and to let us know how many of you are interested in seeing it resolved. *********************************************************

I think the number of reviews is an extremely important part of the data for a place. Especially since the average rating is not computed until the place receives 6-10 reviews. Please implement this ASAP!

My company often gets clients who ask for a full Google review feed on their websites. Can you please implement such parameters or pagination through which I can access full Google Place API's reviews.

Just a heads up, it seems there is an undocumented property "user_ratings_total". It seems to be there at least on the js library when calling getDetails() Here's where I found that: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/22475962/google-places-api-number-of-ratings

It seems the user_ratings_total has been removed from the places details. Wondering if this would be added back into the place details or if there is another way to access this information.

Looks like user_ratings_total was removed on purpose. It was definitely a useful field. Would be great to see it added back in some form. https://code.google.com/p/gmaps-api-issues/issues/detail?id=9824

Another vote to bring back user_ratings_total.

I would also like to retrieve the total number of reviews. Basically I would like the undocumented "user_ratings_total" result key to be formalized and guaranteed to be returned. Thanks.

user_ratings_total was a very useful piece of information. Without it, the average rating loses its context. I really hope it'll be re-introduced in some form.

Two major update in json less than 6 month and need to rebuilt code twice... Don't know why to delete user_ratings_total...+1 to re-introduce user_ratings_total... waiting I start to build my own verified review system like AFNOR NF Z74-501... need stability for my customers Thx Norman for this post (origin : https://code.google.com/p/gmaps-api-issues/issues/detail?id=9824)

+1 for reinstating user_ratings_total for all the reasons cited

Please add user_ratings_total back to the API.

user_ratings_total is a very important field for users to determine if the rating is meaningful or not. For instance - if provided two restaurants, one rated 4.7 by 2 people and another rated 4.6 by 200 people, which one will you want to give a try? Removing the user_ratings_total, two restaurants 4.7 vs 4.6, which one will you want to give a try then? Without user_ratings_total, the rating itself simply loses its context. There no base that users can judge if the ratings is trustworthy at all. So, please seriously consider adding the field back.
