Google Maps Reviews API

The reviews of one Google Maps place by place ID or by name and city that a signed-out visitor can see: rating, text, language, publish and edit dates, photo count, Google's guided answers (meal type, price per person, food, service and atmosphere scores) and the owner's reply, plus the place's rating, review count and 1-5 star distribution. Honest limit: Google's signed-out "limited view" shows only 5 reviews per sort order (newest, most relevant, highest, lowest) and refuses to page further, so one call returns at most about 20 reviews, with a coverage figure such as "20 of 4,082 reviews visible". We never log in or use accounts. Reviewer names are pseudonymized unless you ask for them. Billed per review returned; not-found places, places with no visible reviews, blocks and failures are free.
