I am someone with a hobby of culinary and traveling and often look for information before I go to that place. One of the easiest places to find information through google maps, but there are many local guides who give reviews just because they want to get points.

For example, someone gives 1 star somewhere without giving any information. So other people don't know whether 1 star is due to the expensive or not attractive/narrow/tight places etc.

It's good if google map is given a minimum of characters to write a review (for example 25 characters) and ask the local guide to fill in the stars according to several categories such as price, place, location, cleanliness etc. That way people who read it can be more helpful through the reviews given.
