Ratings Widget

Overview

This widget displays the current bubble rating and review count for a given Hotel, Restaurant, or Attraction on Tripadvisor. The widget can be displayed on an https page and can be configured to link to the detail page for that location on Tripadvisor, open a new window or pop-up of the Property Detail Widget, or not contain any links. Partners may choose the last option and wrap it on their own link if they wish to direct users to a custom page on their own site.

The widget size is 134x60 pixels and supports a transparent border/background for easy integration into existing pages. Elements that will be shown in the widget include: Tripadvisor logo and rating bubbles, the copy "Tripadvisor rating", and the number of Tripadvisor reviews.
