The Solution

Why add Airbnb reviews to your website?

Airbnb reviews on your website are immensely helpful because they offer prospective guests a clear idea of what to expect from your property and from you as the host. Reviews also help build trust and credibility for your website as an external, unbiased source of information about your property and the area your property is in. 

Other reasons why you should add Airbnb reviews to your website include:

Increased visibility and improved SEO

Having reviews on your website increases the odds of your properties appearing in search results because online reviews are considered a form of social proof.

Reviews also generally contain keywords that can help your website rank higher in search engines, which organically improves your SEO without a lot of effort or budget needed.

Easier trust building leads to more bookings

Reviews from other guests can help to establish trust and credibility for your website and properties. Reviews from guests are considered more honest than self-evaluated offerings, which makes your marketing more credible and backed up by other guests.

Positive reviews increase bookings as they encourage potential guests to book a stay.

Feedback means you are able to offer a better guest experience 

Taking feedback into consideration means you can improve your property to enhance your guest experience. This will increase the number of public positive reviews which other prospective guests will see on your website.

A better understanding of the property and area

Reviews provide an idea of what to expect from the property as well as the location, which includes nearby amenities and experiences. This means guests will have a greater understanding of what to expect from the overall atmosphere of your accommodation as well as have an idea of what to add to their itinerary.

More seamless user experience 

Having reviews on your website helps users make an informed decision which saves them time and improves their online user experience, which is more likely to win them over as a guest.

What is an AirBNB review widget?

An Airbnb widget is a small piece of code that can be embedded on a website, typically on a page that features one or more of your properties. The widget allows your visitors to see previous guests’ information about the property. 

Widgets can be customized to match the look and feel of the website and can also be used to display multiple properties. They can also include reviews, availability calendars and other options.

By using an Airbnb widget, property owners and managers can increase bookings and make it more convenient for guests to book a stay, without having to leave the website.
