请求实现按评论数量对Google Maps地点进行排序

I feel your pain—when I’m scouting places to visit, both average rating and total number of reviews matter just as much for figuring out if a spot is actually worth checking out. It’s so annoying that Google Maps only lets you filter out spots below a certain rating (and even that feature feels clunky to use) but doesn’t give you a way to sort locations by review count to pull up the truly "most popular" spots in a town.

Here are a few practical workarounds I’ve used to get around this limitation:

• Google Search trick: Try typing something like [your town] top cafes site:google.com/maps into the main Google search bar. The core search algorithm tends to prioritize places with more reviews in results, so you can then jump into Maps from there to check details.
• Third-party local tools: There are tools out there that pull data directly from Google Maps and let you sort by review volume. Just make sure whatever tool you use is pulling up-to-date data to avoid outdated info.
• Manual scan (for small areas): If you’re focusing on a small neighborhood or town, zoom in on Maps, switch to the "Places" tab, and scan for spots with the highest review numbers listed under their names. It’s not ideal, but it works when you don’t have other options.

This is a super common gripe among Maps users—lots of people have requested a "sort by review count" feature over the years. Hopefully Google listens and adds this in a future update!
