show google places api reviews on my site

I have a review site where user can search using google places api autocomplete textbox to find a specific business and write reviews for it on my site. The google api returns back bunch of stuff along with 5 reviews for the place searched. is it ok for me to show the reviews the api returns on my site?

Edit: If yes,

  1. do i need to put a disclamer or give credit to google for the reviews shown?
  2. google place api also returns the review's author name, can i to show it? do i need any permission?
  3. is it ok for me to copy the google api reviews to my site?

If you are showing a Map, along with that data, the Map must be a Google Map(i.e. that data cannot be accompanied with openstreetmap etc.)

If you are only displaying the reviews, you must show "Powered by Google" with them.

If your application displays Google Places API Web Service data on a map, that map must be provided by Google.

If your application displays Google Places API Web Service data on a page or view that does not also display a Google Map, you must show a "Powered by Google" logo with that data. For example, if your application displays a list of places on one tab, and a Google Map with those places on another tab, the first tab must show the "Powered by Google" logo.
