Review schema markup, on paid plans

Paid widgets add schema.org Review and AggregateRating JSON-LD to the page they sit on, so search engines and AI answer engines can read your Google reviews as structured data. Google does not show review stars for reviews a business shows about itself, so the gain is readability, not stars. The free plan shows the reviews without the schema. See how the schema works

Why Use BlooTrue for Airbnb on Joomla?

The only free way to put Airbnb reviews on a Joomla site — Airbnb's own widget only takes bookings.

Shows Reviews, Not Just an Airbnb Form

Airbnb's official widget embeds a booking form and nothing else. BlooTrue is the free, paste-and-go complement — it pulls the verified-guest reviews from your public Airbnb listing page automatically.

No Joomla Extension Required

Pure HTML embed. No Joomla Extensions Directory install, no extension permissions, no recurring license fee.

Works on Joomla 3, 4, and 5

Works with Cassiopeia (J4/J5), Protostar (J3), and every third-party template (JoomShaper, YooTheme, JoomLart).

No Airbnb API Key Required

Works with any public Airbnb listing page. No developer application, no API quotas, no rental-account integration required.

How Do I Install BlooTrue Airbnb on Joomla?

Takes less than a minute. No coding, no extension install, no Airbnb API key.

Build your widget on this page

Use the BlooTrue builder on this page. Paste your Airbnb listing page URL (e.g. https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/12345678) and your real verified-guest reviews load into the live preview.

No sign-up, no Airbnb API key, no rental-account integration required.

Customize the Look

Pick one of 100+ styles, choose light or dark theme, set your accent color, and toggle reviewer names / dates / profile images on or off.

Copy the Embed Code

Publish and copy the embed code. The embed is a single HTML snippet — no Joomla extension install, no PHP overrides.

Paste into Joomla

Module placement (Joomla 4/5): Open Content → Site Modules, click + New, choose Custom, click Toggle Editor (or </>) to switch to HTML, paste, set the Position and Menu Assignment, then Save.

Joomla 3: Same flow via Extensions → Modules → New → Custom HTML.

Inline article placement: Edit the article, click Toggle editor, and paste the embed code where you want reviews.

Reviews auto-sync from Airbnb every 24 hours.

Airbnb Review Widget for Joomla — Free, Shows the Reviews the Official Widget Won't

BlooTrue's Airbnb Review Widget for Joomla is a free, extension-free embed that displays your Airbnb reviews on any Joomla rental site. Airbnb's official website widget only takes bookings — it never displays the verified-guest reviews your rental earns; those stay on airbnb.com. BlooTrue fills that gap by pulling reviews from any public Airbnb listing page and turning them into a paste-ready Joomla embed. Every review comes from a verified guest who booked through Airbnb and honored the airbnb, and the widget shows your real 1–5 star average exactly as it appears upstream. Works on Joomla 3, Joomla 4, and Joomla 5 via the built-in Custom HTML module type, with the default Cassiopeia template (J4/J5), the older Protostar template (J3), and any third-party template. No Joomla Extensions Directory install, no per-month fee, no Airbnb API key required.

Why doesn't Airbnb's own widget show reviews?

Airbnb's first-party widget is built to do one thing: book tables. It embeds a booking form, not social proof — the guest reviews that convince someone to book stay on airbnb.com. Airbnb does not publish a paste-ready review embed the way Google publishes Place Cards. Third-party widgets are the standard way Joomla rental sites surface their Airbnb reviews on their own pages — BlooTrue is the free option in that category.

About Airbnb reviews in this widget

The Airbnb widget covers one listing, the airbnb.com/rooms page with the listing number, and shows its guest reviews. Above the cards sits the listing's rating and review count exactly as Airbnb displays them, so a 4.92 stays a 4.92 instead of a card average. Airbnb only lets a guest review after a completed stay booked on Airbnb, with 14 days from checkout to write it, so every card is from a real stay. Airbnb has no first-party review embed, and the builder needs the listing URL, not the host profile link that hosts tend to paste in.

Frequently Asked Questions

I manage six Airbnb listings, can one widget cover all of them?

No. Each listing has its own airbnb.com/rooms page with its own reviews and its own rating, and the builder imports one listing per widget. On the free plan you get one widget, so one listing; paid plans remove the one-widget limit and refresh every listing's widget from Airbnb daily.

Why does my Airbnb widget say 4.92 when most of the cards show five stars?

Because the header mirrors the rating Airbnb publishes for the listing, to two decimals, together with its review count, and does no arithmetic of its own on the cards. Free widgets show only 4-star-and-up reviews as cards, so a computed average would drift from Airbnb's figure; keeping Airbnb's number avoids that.

A guest checked out yesterday, when will their Airbnb review show on my site?

Airbnb gives the guest 14 days after checkout to write the review, and it goes live on the listing once both sides have reviewed or the window closes. A paid plan refreshes the widget daily and picks it up next day; a free widget stays as it was on publish day, so yesterday's guest waits until you upgrade.

Is the BlooTrue Airbnb widget free for Joomla?

Yes. BlooTrue is completely free for Joomla. No extension install, no JED license fee, unlimited widget views, no credit card.

Doesn't Airbnb already offer a widget for Joomla?

Airbnb's official website widget only takes bookings — it does not display reviews. Your verified-guest reviews stay on airbnb.com. BlooTrue fills that gap by pulling reviews from any public Airbnb listing page.

Do I need an Airbnb API key or developer access?

No. BlooTrue works with any public Airbnb listing page — no Airbnb API key, no developer application, no rental-account integration required.

Do I need a Joomla extension to display Airbnb reviews?

No. BlooTrue uses a pure HTML embed that drops into a built-in Joomla Custom HTML module. Joomla ships the Custom HTML module type on every install.

Does the widget work on Joomla 3, Joomla 4, and Joomla 5?

Yes, all three. The Custom HTML module type ships with every modern Joomla version. Admin navigation differs slightly — J4/J5 use Content → Site Modules, J3 uses Extensions → Modules — but the embed code is identical.

Where exactly should I paste the embed code on Joomla?

For module placement, open Content → Site Modules (J4/J5) or Extensions → Modules (J3), click + New, choose Custom, click Toggle Editor (or </>) to switch to HTML, paste, set the Position, and assign it to menu items. For inline article placement, edit the article, click Toggle editor, and paste.

Will the widget slow down my Joomla site?

No. The widget loads asynchronously, the script is under 20KB, and lazy loading defers image fetches. Typical impact on Largest Contentful Paint is under 50ms.
