Airbnb Review Widget for WordPress — Free, No Plugin Needed

BlooTrue's Airbnb Review Widget for WordPress is a free, plugin-free embed that displays your Airbnb reviews on any WordPress site. It works with both Gutenberg (block editor) and the Classic Editor, requires no coding, and works with any public Airbnb listing page — from entire homes and cabins to apartments, villas, and multi-location property managers. Every review comes from a verified guest who booked through Airbnb and honored the airbnb, and the widget shows real 1–5 star ratings — the header rating is your live Airbnb average, no conversion, no percentages. Unlimited widget views on every plan. 100+ widget styles (slider, marquee, grid, list, masonry, badge, compact badge) with light and dark themes plus a free custom color picker. On paid plans, schema.org Review + AggregateRating JSON-LD is added to the page, which makes it eligible for star ratings in Google search results where the embed runs inline rather than inside an iframe.

How to embed Airbnb reviews on WordPress in 60 seconds

  1. Paste your Airbnb rental URL into the BlooTrue builder on this page.
  2. Pick a widget style and customize colors, theme, and layout.
  3. Publish, then copy the one-line HTML embed code from the builder.
  4. In WordPress Gutenberg, add a Custom HTML block and paste. In Classic Editor, switch to the Text tab and paste.
  5. Publish — your Airbnb reviews are live.

Does BlooTrue work on WordPress.com?

Self-hosted WordPress (wordpress.org, the 95% case) supports the widget fully. On WordPress.com, the Business tier or higher supports custom HTML and works. The free WordPress.com plan strips script tags for security, so the widget will not render there.

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 WordPress?

Yes, BlooTrue is completely free for WordPress. No credit card, no plugin needed, and BlooTrue never caps widget views on any plan, free or paid. The free plan shows Airbnb reviews with BlooTrue branding in the footer.

Does Airbnb have an official review widget for WordPress?

No. Airbnb’s official website widget only takes bookings — it never displays your reviews. BlooTrue fills that gap and works with any public Airbnb listing page. Just paste your airbnb.com/rooms/12345678 URL into the BlooTrue builder.

Do I need a WordPress plugin to use BlooTrue?

No. BlooTrue uses a pure HTML embed that works in Gutenberg's Custom HTML block, the Classic Editor's Text tab, and the Custom HTML sidebar/footer widget. No plugin to install, configure, or update.

Will the BlooTrue Airbnb widget slow down my WordPress site?

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

Does it work on WordPress.com or only self-hosted WordPress?

Self-hosted WordPress works perfectly. WordPress.com Business plan and above also allow custom HTML and work fine. The free WordPress.com plan strips script tags for security — the widget will not load there. Upgrade to a paid WordPress.com plan or migrate to self-hosted WordPress (wordpress.org) to use the widget.

Can I customize the widget to match my WordPress theme?

Yes. The widget supports light and dark themes, 8 preset accent colors plus a free custom hex picker, two card layouts (reviewer-first or review-first), and toggles for reviewer names, dates, review text, and profile images. The outer background is transparent, so it blends with any WordPress theme automatically.
