Reviews are a thing of the past due to manipulation, and now ai as well. Google reviews have been trash for a long time. It really is a pity, there was a time when you could do an internet search for 'best' and get decent results, long time ago now though, before all of the amazon links.

Getting reviews integrated into OpenStreetMaps should be one of the most important projects in open source today. Last time I checked, its fairly stalled.

No, it's a monopoly
cartes.app just added reviews so there isnt much there.
Seems like there is a major bootstrapping problem with reviews... like any social media
CoMaps is good alternative for Google Maps overall (simple to use, emphasis on POI, routing). They are actively working on including reviews from mangrove.reviews, and may release the feature very soon (source from last week).
Mangrove.reviews contains only a few reviews for now, but having recently been integrated in MapComplete, the number don't stop increasing.
