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 Expedia 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

How to Add Expedia Reviews to Joomla

Connect your Expedia profile in BlooTrue, pick a style, then paste one embed code into the Custom HTML module on Joomla and publish.

  1. 1

    In the Joomla admin, create a Custom module (System → Site Modules → New → Custom).

  2. 2

    Switch the editor to code view (or set your editor to 'None' in user settings).

  3. 3

    Paste the BlooTrue embed code and assign the module to a template position and menu pages.

  4. 4

    Save & publish — the widget renders in that position.

TinyMCE strips script tags on save — switch the editor to 'None'/CodeMirror before pasting, or the embed silently disappears.

Where the Code Goes on Joomla

Joomla holds the embed in a Custom module, created from System, then Site Modules, then New, then Custom, and shown wherever you assign a template position and menu items.

The admin form shows only your code; nothing renders until you open the site. Width comes from the template position you pick, and module chrome such as Cassiopeia's card style adds its own padding. TinyMCE removes script tags on save, so set your account's editor to None or CodeMirror before pasting, and check Text Filters in Global Configuration if your user group is filtered. Clear the cache under System after publishing.

If the widget does not show on Joomla

  • If the saved module is empty, TinyMCE stripped the script; switch your editor to None or CodeMirror in your user settings and paste again.
  • Module saved but nothing on the site? Check the Menu Assignment tab so the module shows on the pages you expect, and confirm the position exists in your template.
  • Old content still showing after edits usually means Joomla's page cache; go to System, Clear Cache, and reload the front end.

Still blank? Our help article Widget not showing covers the checks that apply on every site.

Expedia Review Widget for Joomla — Free, No Plugin

Embed Expedia reviews on any Joomla page with a single copy-paste embed code. Verified-traveler Expedia reviews, where guests decide to book. Installs via the Custom HTML module.

Where Expedia reviews help most on Joomla

A hotel or rental running on Joomla usually has more than a handful of pages: rooms, local guides, a blog about the area.

Guide and blog pages pull in travellers who have not picked a place yet, which makes them a good home for a compact Expedia widget at the end of the post, beside a link to the rooms. On the rooms page itself, place the full widget above the booking form or booking plugin, as its own block rather than inside the plugin's settings. Keep one widget per page. A theme that also adds its own testimonial block gives two sets of praise saying the same thing, so pick one.

About Expedia reviews in this widget

The Expedia widget shows the guest reviews from your property's Expedia page, with the guest rating and review count Expedia publishes in the header. Expedia lets only travelers who booked through Expedia and completed the stay leave a review, so every review in the widget comes from an actual stay. The mistake hoteliers make is expecting feedback from guests who booked direct to turn up here. It cannot; a review that was never posted on Expedia is not in the widget. The header is Expedia's own figure, not an average of the reviews shown.

Expedia Widget on Joomla — FAQ

Is the BlooTrue Expedia review widget free for Joomla?
Yes. BlooTrue is completely free to embed Expedia reviews on Joomla. No plugin, no recurring fee, unlimited views. The free plan shows your reviews with BlooTrue branding in the footer; paid plans remove the branding.
How do I install the widget on Joomla?
In the Joomla admin, create a Custom module (System → Site Modules → New → Custom). Switch the editor to code view (or set your editor to 'None' in user settings). Paste the BlooTrue embed code and assign the module to a template position and menu pages. Save & publish — the widget renders in that position.
Anything specific to Joomla worth knowing before I embed?
TinyMCE strips script tags on save — switch the editor to 'None'/CodeMirror before pasting, or the embed silently disappears.
Where should I place Expedia reviews on Joomla for the biggest lift?
A full-width module position under the article intro on the homepage.
Do the reviews stay up to date automatically?
Paid plans auto-sync your Expedia reviews daily, so the widget always shows your latest 5-star reviews without touching Joomla again. The free plan shows the reviews imported at setup.
Which Expedia page do I paste to pull my property's reviews?
Your property's own page on Expedia. Its address ends with a number after .h and the words Hotel-Information, for example expedia.com/City-Hotels-Your-Property.h123456.Hotel-Information. That page holds the guest rating and the traveler reviews the widget reads. Paste it, choose a layout and copy the embed onto your booking page.
Does the number at the top of the Expedia widget match my Expedia page?
It is the guest rating and review count Expedia publishes for your property, copied rather than recalculated, so it matches the page as of the widget's last read. On the free plan that read happened when you created the widget; paid plans read the page daily, so the header follows your Expedia rating as new stays are reviewed.
Can the Expedia widget give my hotel page star rich snippets in Google?
No. Google's review-snippet rules exclude reviews a business shows about itself through an embedded widget. Paid plans still add schema.org Review and AggregateRating JSON-LD with your Expedia guest rating and review count to the page, which search engines and AI assistants can read if the embed is rendered inline; inside a sandboxed iframe it is invisible to them. The free plan adds no markup.
