Tripadvisor is one of the world’s largest travel platforms. Millions of people use this platform to document the highs and lows of their vacation experience. After which potential travelers use this information to plan out their trips and decide on where they would be staying. So if you own or manage a website for an accommodation, restaurant, bar, or any type of vacation attraction, these testimonials are crucial for building trust with these aspiring travelers.
The best way to showcase your TripAdvisor reviews is by embedding them directly onto your website. This prevents the user from having to leave your website to research your vacation attraction or accommodation thus increasing the user experience. In this article, I will be showing you how to embed TripAdvisor reviews onto your website using the Elfsight Reviews from TripAdvisor widget.

There are two variants of this widget a free version and a paid version. What’s the difference? The free version is limited to only 200 monthly views after which the widget will not be displayed until the quota resets the following month.
There are three tiers of the paid version, the most basic package offers a monthly quota of 5,000 views and the ability to remove the Elfsight branding from the widget.
If your website constantly receives more than 200 visitors each month I recommend upgrading to the first tear package which starts at $5 per month. Or if you intend to use more than one widget from Elfsight then I recommend purchasing their basic all apps pack which starts at $15 per month.
