OpenTable Review Widget for Jimdo — Free, Shows the Reviews OpenTable's Widget Won't
BlooTrue's OpenTable Review Widget for Jimdo is a free embed that displays your verified-diner reviews on any Jimdo site — works with both Jimdo Creator and Jimdo Dolphin / AI Builder via the Widget/HTML element. OpenTable's official website widget only takes reservations — it never displays your reviews — so third-party widgets like BlooTrue are the only way to put OpenTable reviews on Jimdo. Every review comes from a diner who booked through OpenTable and honored the reservation, and the widget shows the real 1–5 star ratings with your upstream average — no conversions, no percentages. The free Jimdo plan (.jimdofree.com subdomain with Jimdo branding) supports the widget; paid Jimdo plans (Start at $9, Grow at $15, Unlimited at $39) work identically. Jimdo does not have a third-party app marketplace like Wix or Shopify, so there is no plugin to install — the widget is just an HTML snippet you paste into a Widget/HTML element. No OpenTable API key, no POS integration, no developer application — it works with any public OpenTable restaurant page, whether you run a fine-dining room, a neighborhood bistro, a café, a steakhouse, or a multi-location restaurant group. Strong support for DACH-region domains (Germany, Austria, Switzerland) since Jimdo is German-origin and these are its core markets.
How to embed OpenTable reviews on Jimdo in 60 seconds
- Open your restaurant site in the Jimdo editor (works on both Creator and Dolphin / AI Builder).
- Hover where you want the reviews and click + Add Element, then pick Widget/HTML (on Dolphin / AI Builder click the + → More → Widget).
- Paste the BlooTrue embed code into the HTML field — not the URL field.
- Click Save, then Preview → Publish in the top right.
Why doesn't OpenTable's official widget show reviews on Jimdo?
OpenTable's official embeddable widget is built to do one thing: take reservations. It renders a booking form, not your star rating or diner feedback — OpenTable keeps reviews on its own listing pages to drive traffic to its marketplace. It does not publish a paste-ready review embed the way Trustpilot publishes TrustBox or Google publishes Place Cards. Third-party widgets are the standard way Jimdo restaurant sites surface their OpenTable reviews — BlooTrue is the free option in that category, and pastes directly into the standard Jimdo Widget/HTML element.
