**Place Reviews Pagination**
Place Review results do not contain a traditional pagination section where a specific page of results is uniquely addressable. Instead, each  `search_type=place_reviews`  result will return a  `next_page_token`  in its'  `pagination`  object. This  `next_page_token`  can be passed in to the  `next_page_token`  request parameter to retrieve the next page of place reviews results.
