On the Google Maps app or directly on your computer desktop at Google.com, you can write reviews for places you’ve visited or places that provided you a service. A gmail address is not needed to leave a review but a google account (any email address can be used such as yahoo, hotmail, etc.) would need to be created.

C) New page will show sign in location with an option to create an account. Click Create Account.
D) Click “Iprefertousemycurrentemailaddress” (blue link within form) to create a Google account without a gmail address.

F) A window will pop up to agree to privacy and terms. Scroll to bottom and click I Agree.

Add a Rating or Review
Open the Google Maps App on your iPhone, Android phone, iPad, or tablet.
