Add, edit, or delete Google Maps reviews & ratings

On Google Maps, you can write reviews for places you visit. You can also leave info or post photo or video updates about a place, like if it’s quiet and romantic or if it’s under renovation.

Tip: Your reviews and opinions are voluntary. We don’t pay reviewers to add reviews to Google Maps.

All reviews are public and anyone can find what you add. You’re unable to add an anonymous review.

Here's some more info others can find when you write a review:

• The name on your About me page.
• Other photos and videos you added to Google Maps, and the location info that's attached.
• Reviews you wrote on Google Maps.

To help you share an experience, or help others choose or make a better decision, you can add ratings or reviews.

Before you add a rating or review, make sure to follow the content policy. Reviews and ratings may be removed from the page, and in most cases, they are removed for policy violations like spam or inappropriate content.

We don't reinstate reviews that were removed for policy violations. These removal measures help make sure that reviews on Google properties are relevant, helpful, and trustworthy. Learn about prohibited and restricted content for reviews.

To add a rating or review:

1. On your Android phone or tablet, open the Google Maps app .
2. Search for a place or tap it on the map.
   • If you get multiple locations in your search, tap the location you want to update.
3. At the bottom, tap the place's name or address.

     • You can earn Local Guides’ answer points when you answer these questions.
     • You may not get questions for every place you review.

Your review, score, and details about a place show up in Google Maps and on your profile until you take them down. After your review is published, you can edit it or change the rating and pictures you included. Learn how to post a photo update instead.
