I'm an official Google reviewer. They're called "Local Guides". I don't give fake reviews. There's nothing in it for me, I don't get paid, I don't get perks other than a nifty star next to my name on the review to show people that I'm a Local Guide, and I believe the star turns a different color if I reach the next "level" of being a Local Guide. The levels are based on how many reviews you do, not how you rate different places or products.
So if you want to check reviews for places, check the google reviews and count only the "Local Guide" reviews.
