1AFAIK Google doesn't expose this information through any API today. I suggest filing a feature request [here](https://code.google.com/p/gmaps-api-issues/issues/entry?template=Places%20API%20-%20Feature%20Request). – Daniel Resnick Sep 09 '15 at 06:52

7There are plenty of feature requests on this over at Google Maps API tracker. (most marked as duplicate of https://code.google.com/p/gmaps-api-issues/issues/detail?id=8581 ) – tnagel Dec 14 '15 at 17:16

As of now (2016-12-15), no, as can be found at https://developers.google.com/places/web-service/details#PlaceDetailsResults. There's no other API for that information. You could use the API ratings return to do something alike, but still not the same.
You can track the existing requests for the feature (and star & bump it) at https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/35827350.
