Sadly, this is somewhat awkward to access. The PA API provides a URL to an iframe, which contains the rating and reviews rendered as HTML. This is described in the documentation: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSECommerceService/latest/DG/ItemLookup.html

The iframe URL can be accessed using the reviews property of a AmazonProduct instance. From there on, you'll have to parse the HTML returned to you. It's visually similar to the review section you can see on the Amazon product pages, but slightly different in its HTML structure.
