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 OpenCart?

Airbnb's official widget only takes bookings — BlooTrue is the free way to put the reviews themselves on your OpenCart site.

Shows Reviews, Not Just an Airbnb Form

Airbnb's official website widget embeds a booking form and nothing else — your reviews stay on airbnb.com. BlooTrue pulls them from your public listing page automatically, so guests see the proof before they book.

No OpenCart Extension Required

Pure HTML embed. No marketplace purchase, no vQmod / OCMOD patch, no PHP file edits. Pastes into the core CMS Information system or the bundled HTML Content module.

Works on OpenCart 3.x and 4.x

Same install path on both major versions. The Source toggle in the editor and the HTML Content module from Extensions → Modules exist in core on both 3.x and 4.x.

Verified Guests, Real Star Ratings

Every Airbnb review comes from a guest who booked and honored a booking — no drive-by reviews. The widget header shows your real 1–5 star Airbnb average, no conversion, no percentages, and no API key or rental-account login is required.

How Do I Install BlooTrue Airbnb on OpenCart?

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

Decide Where The Reviews Go

Log into your OpenCart admin and pick the placement:

A static Information page — Catalog → Information.
A sidebar or footer module using the bundled HTML Content module — assigned via Design → Layouts.

For a CMS Page: Catalog → Information

In the OpenCart admin, open Catalog → Information, edit the target page. In the rich-text editor toolbar, click the Source button (looks like </>) to switch to raw HTML view.

Paste the BlooTrue embed code there. This step is critical — if you paste in the visual view instead, OpenCart sanitizes the<script> tag and the widget disappears on save.

Save the page. Visit the storefront URL — your Airbnb reviews are live.

Or Use the HTML Content Module

For sidebar / footer / homepage placement, open Extensions → Modules, find HTML Content (a core module — already installed in OpenCart 3.x and 4.x), click Add Module, give it a name like "Airbnb Reviews", click the Source button in its editor, and paste.

Assign to a Layout and Publish

Open Design → Layouts, pick the layout to target, and add the HTML Content module to a position — Column Left, Column Right, Content Top, Content Bottom, or Footer.

Save the layout. Reviews auto-sync from Airbnb every 24 hours.

Airbnb Review Widget for OpenCart — Free, Shows the Reviews the Official Widget Hides

BlooTrue's Airbnb Review Widget for OpenCart is a free, extension-free embed that displays your Airbnb reviews on any OpenCart-built rental site. Airbnb's official website widget only takes bookings — it books tables but never shows the reviews guests left for you. BlooTrue fills that gap by pulling reviews from any public Airbnb listing page and turning them into a paste-ready OpenCart embed. Every review comes from a verified guest — someone who booked through Airbnb and honored the airbnb — and the widget header shows your real 1–5 star Airbnb average, no conversion, no percentages. OpenCart is a free, open-source PHP e-commerce platform widely used in MENA, Eastern Europe, and South-East Asia, and it ships with both a CMS Information system (Catalog → Information) and a bundled HTML Content module (Extensions → Modules) — BlooTrue pastes into either. No OpenCart marketplace purchase, no PHP edits, no Airbnb API key, no developer application, no rental-account login required. Works on OpenCart 3.x (the dominant deployed version) and OpenCart 4.x with any theme. The single biggest install gotcha is the Source button (the </> toggle that switches the editor between WYSIWYG and raw HTML) — without clicking it, the visual editor escapes the embedded<script> tag and the widget disappears on save.

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

Airbnb's first-party website widget is built for one job: taking bookings. It embeds a booking form, not your review feed — the verified-guest reviews stay on airbnb.com. Third-party widgets are the standard way OpenCart-built rental sites surface their Airbnb reviews — BlooTrue is the free option in that category, and because every Airbnb review comes from a guest who honored a booking, the social proof it displays is unusually hard to fake.

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 OpenCart?

Yes. BlooTrue is completely free for OpenCart. No marketplace extension purchase, no recurring license fee, unlimited widget views, no credit card. The free plan shows your Airbnb reviews with BlooTrue branding in the footer.

Doesn't Airbnb already offer a website widget for OpenCart?

Airbnb's official website widget only takes bookings — it puts a booking form on your site but never displays your reviews or star rating. BlooTrue fills that gap: it pulls verified-guest reviews from any public Airbnb listing page and turns them into a paste-ready OpenCart embed. Run both side by side — the airbnb widget converts, the review widget convinces.

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 login required. Just paste your https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/12345678 URL into the BlooTrue builder.

Why does my embed code disappear after I save the OpenCart page?

Because you pasted into the WYSIWYG (visual) editor, which strips or escapes the <script> tag. Click the Source button (looks like </>) in the editor toolbar to switch to raw HTML view, paste the embed code there, and save. The Source toggle is the #1 install gotcha on OpenCart.

Does this work on both OpenCart 3.x and OpenCart 4.x?

Yes. The embed is pure client-side HTML and JavaScript and the install path (Source toggle in the editor, HTML Content module from Extensions → Modules) exists in both major versions.

Where exactly should I paste the embed code on OpenCart?

Two paths. (1) For a static page (About, Reviews, Menu, Bookings): Catalog → Information → edit the page → click the Source button (</>) in the editor → paste. (2) For sidebar/footer placement: Extensions → Modules → install HTML Content → edit it → click Source → paste → assign via Design → Layouts.

Will the widget slow down my OpenCart site?

No. The widget loads asynchronously after page content, so it never blocks rendering. The script is under 20KB and reviews are served from a CDN cache. Typical impact on Largest Contentful Paint is under 50ms — well within Google's Core Web Vitals thresholds.
