TripAdvisor reviews in a tour guide's Blogger sidebar

Some tour guides and small travel operators run their whole site on Blogger, writing about their city and selling tours alongside. TripAdvisor reviews of those tours belong on the blog, where readers already trust your local knowledge. Blogger's gadgets make the sidebar the obvious place, and the gadget's title deserves more thought than it usually gets.

Should a TripAdvisor gadget go in the Blogger sidebar?

Yes, if the blog is your main site, because a sidebar gadget appears beside every post and turns each article about your city into a quiet pitch for your tours.

Choose a compact layout so the gadget does not stretch the sidebar far below the posts next to it. If that feels too small, move the gadget to a full-width section below the header, where longer traveller reviews have room, at the cost of pushing articles down.

What title should the TripAdvisor gadget have on Blogger?

One that names the source and what was reviewed, such as 'Traveller reviews of our tours on TripAdvisor', because most Blogger themes show the gadget's title as a heading above it.

A reader who arrives from a search for things to do needs to see at a glance that these are reviews of your tours, not of the places you write about. A blank title leaves the reviews unexplained, and a clear one also helps you find the gadget in Layout later.

SEO + AI schema · paid plans

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 TripAdvisor 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 TripAdvisor Reviews to Blogger

Connect your TripAdvisor profile in BlooTrue, pick a style, then paste one embed code into the HTML/JavaScript gadget on Blogger and publish.

  1. 1

    In Blogger, open Layout.

  2. 2

    Click Add a Gadget where the reviews should appear and choose HTML/JavaScript.

  3. 3

    Paste the BlooTrue embed code and save the gadget.

  4. 4

    Save the layout arrangement — the widget renders on the blog.

For a single post instead of the layout, switch the post editor to HTML view before pasting — Compose view escapes the code.

Where the Code Goes on Blogger

On Blogger the snippet lives in an HTML/JavaScript gadget, added from the Layout page through Add a Gadget in the section you choose.

Layout shows only a box with the gadget's title, never the reviews; the blog itself renders them once you save the gadget and then the layout arrangement. Width follows the section: a sidebar gadget is narrow, while a gadget below the header spans the full column. To put the widget inside one post instead, switch the post editor to HTML view first, because Compose view converts the code into escaped text.

If the widget does not show on Blogger

  • Code appearing as text on the blog means it was pasted in Compose view; open the post in HTML view, paste again and update the post.
  • If the reviews are missing after saving the gadget, check that you also saved the layout arrangement; the gadget change is not live until then.
  • Reviews look cramped in the sidebar? Move the HTML/JavaScript gadget to a section below the header so it gets the full width.

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

TripAdvisor Review Widget for Blogger — Free, No Plugin

Embed TripAdvisor reviews on any Blogger page with a single copy-paste embed code. Traveler proof, embedded where bookings happen. Installs via the HTML/JavaScript gadget.

Where TripAdvisor reviews help most on Blogger

A hotel or rental running on Blogger 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 TripAdvisor 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 TripAdvisor reviews in this widget

Your TripAdvisor widget shows the traveler reviews from your TripAdvisor listing, each with the traveler's 1 to 5 bubbles. The summary at the top is the listing's overall bubble rating and review count, as reported by TripAdvisor, which is not your ranking position: a listing at '#3 of 120 restaurants' still shows its bubbles, not a 3. Travelers write reviews on the listing without booking through TripAdvisor, and TripAdvisor's own Review Snippets are small badges with little styling control. Hoteliers sometimes expect the Travelers' Choice award in the header; the widget shows reviews and the bubble rating.

TripAdvisor Widget on Blogger — FAQ

Is the BlooTrue TripAdvisor review widget free for Blogger?
Yes. BlooTrue is completely free to embed TripAdvisor reviews on Blogger. 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 Blogger?
In Blogger, open Layout. Click Add a Gadget where the reviews should appear and choose HTML/JavaScript. Paste the BlooTrue embed code and save the gadget. Save the layout arrangement — the widget renders on the blog.
Anything specific to Blogger worth knowing before I embed?
For a single post instead of the layout, switch the post editor to HTML view before pasting — Compose view escapes the code.
Where should I place TripAdvisor reviews on Blogger for the biggest lift?
The sidebar for every-page visibility, or a full-width gadget below the header.
Do the reviews stay up to date automatically?
Paid plans auto-sync your TripAdvisor reviews daily, so the widget always shows your latest 5-star reviews without touching Blogger again. The free plan shows the reviews imported at setup.
Will the widget show my TripAdvisor ranking, like #2 of 85 hotels in town?
No. The header takes your listing's overall bubble rating and its review count from TripAdvisor; the ranking position is a separate figure TripAdvisor works out against other businesses in your area, and it is not part of the widget. Each review card keeps the 1 to 5 bubbles the traveler gave.
Does embedding TripAdvisor reviews require one of TripAdvisor's paid business products?
No. The BlooTrue builder reads any public TripAdvisor listing from its URL, with no TripAdvisor business subscription needed. TripAdvisor does hand out its own Review Snippets and rating widgets, but they are small badges you cannot restyle, whereas this embed is one line of code showing the traveler reviews themselves with their bubble ratings.
How does the widget handle TripAdvisor reviews with 1 or 2 bubbles?
On the free plan only reviews of 4 bubbles and above appear, and the widget holds whatever TripAdvisor showed on the day you created it. Paid plans refresh from TripAdvisor daily, so a review TripAdvisor removes for breaking its guidelines drops off your widget on the next refresh, while the header keeps TripAdvisor's own bubble rating.
