Review Widget Layouts

Start with the grid unless you have a reason not to

A grid shows several reviews at once with no waiting, no clicking and no motion, which is why it converts better than the alternatives in most places you would put reviews. Every other layout here exists for a specific constraint: not enough vertical space, a need for ambient texture, reviews of very different lengths, or a page with no room for a section at all.

If you do not have one of those constraints, choosing something other than a grid is decoration. Each page below says plainly where its layout is the wrong pick.
