Google reviews, some companies have some not, why

[tescorank]

Odd one this and can't find answer some companies have reviews and some not, I have a mate who guest house is listed for reviews while his competitors are not, so would like to have it turned off.

Google have rules on when review scores are shown, I don't think they publish the actual criteria but it's roughly you must have a certain number of reviews at 4/5 or better on certain review sites and they'll include it in your ad.

All the Google metrics show ads with reviews should get more clicks so I wouldn't be looking to turn it off in a hurry, what's the reason for turning it off?

They need at least 30 reviews from an aggregation service (trustpilot, google reviews etc) before the star ratings will show next to ads or search results. I'm not sure you can physically delete them.
