Airbnb Review Widget for Ecwid (by Lightspeed) — Free, Shows the Reviews Airbnb's Widget Can't
BlooTrue's Airbnb Review Widget for Ecwid is a free, app-free embed that displays your Airbnb reviews on any Ecwid (Ecwid by Lightspeed) site. Airbnb's official website widget only takes bookings — it never shows your reviews or your star rating, so the verified-guest praise you earned stays locked on airbnb.com. BlooTrue fills that gap by pulling reviews from any public Airbnb listing page and turning them into a paste-ready Ecwid embed. Every Airbnb review comes from a verified guest — someone who booked through Airbnb and honored the airbnb — so there are no drive-by reviews from people who never ate at your rental. Ratings are native 1–5 stars; the widget header shows your real Airbnb average with no conversion. Ecwid is unusual compared to BigCommerce or Shopify: it's primarily designed to be embedded inside other websites (Wix, WordPress, Squarespace, Weebly, plain HTML) rather than be a standalone store. So the install path branches. For a standalone Ecwid Instant Site (Ecwid-hosted site with its own URL), paste the BlooTrue embed via the storefront editor's Code element. For embedded-Ecwid setups (the more common path), paste the embed on the host page's HTML widget instead — outside the Ecwid iframe — because the iframe is sandboxed and the reviews look better surrounding the Ecwid store. Ecwid was acquired by Lightspeed in 2021; the product is now Ecwid by Lightspeed but the dashboard still says Ecwid in most places. No Airbnb API key, no developer application, no rental-account login required.

Why doesn't Airbnb's own widget show reviews?
Airbnb's official widget is built for one job: airbnb tables. It embeds a booking form, not your reviews — the verified-guest feedback stays on Airbnb's own directory. Airbnb does not publish a review-display embed the way Trustpilot publishes TrustBox or Google publishes Place Cards. Third-party widgets are the standard way rentals on Ecwid surface their Airbnb reviews — BlooTrue is the free option in that category, for entire homes, cabins, apartments, villas, and property managers alike.
