Introduction

Your reviews already build trust on your Bella booking page — the reviews widget lets them do the same job on your own website. Copy a small piece of code from Bella, paste it into your site builder, and your reviews appear right on your page: the overall rating, the star breakdown, each review with its verified badge, and your responses. The widget always shows your live reviews — when a new review is published or you reply to one, your website updates by itself. There’s nothing to maintain. Reviews shown in the widget are the ones you collect through Bella — see Reviews for how collection, verification and responses work.

​
Where to find it

  1. Open Online Booking from the main sidebar.
  2. In the Share & embed tab, find Show Your Reviews on Your Website.
  3. Click Copy HTML to copy the snippet, or Preview to see exactly what the widget will look like with your reviews.
The widget is available while your plan includes the Reviews feature. For multi-location businesses, the snippet shows the reviews of the location you’re currently working in — switch location to get a snippet for another site.

​
Adding it to your site

Paste the copied code into any page — most businesses put it on a testimonials or reviews page, or partway down the homepage.

​
Wix

  1. In the Wix editor, click Add Elements → Embed Code → Embed HTML.
  2. Paste the snippet into the element and click Update.
  3. Wix places custom HTML in a fixed-size block that can’t grow on its own — drag the block tall enough to show your reviews, or change the height value in the code (for example height:900px). Whatever height you give it, the widget fills the space with your reviews and the block scrolls to show the rest.
  4. Click Publish — the widget only appears on your live site after publishing.

​
Squarespace

  1. Edit the page and add a Code block where you want the reviews.
  2. Paste the snippet and save. The widget sizes itself to fit its content automatically.

​
WordPress

  1. Edit the page and add a Custom HTML block.
  2. Paste the snippet and update the page. The widget sizes itself to fit its content automatically.

​
Other site builders

Any builder that accepts an embed, custom-HTML or code element works the same way — paste the snippet and save. On builders that paste the code straight into the page, the widget resizes to fit its content automatically; on builders that place code in a fixed-size frame (like Wix), size the frame to fit.

​
How the widget behaves

  • Published reviews only. Reviews pending moderation or hidden never appear, and a business with no published reviews shows nothing at all — never an empty box.
  • Your responses are included under each review, and verified clients keep their Verified badge.
  • It matches your brand. The widget uses the same brand colour you chose for your booking page, and keeps text readable whatever colour that is.
  • It brings visitors back to booking. A quiet Book an appointment link opens your booking page in a new tab.
  • It stays current. New reviews and responses appear on your website automatically — no re-pasting.
  • It adapts to the space it’s given. In a narrow column or a shorter block it shows a compact, reviews-first layout — your rating on one line, then your review cards — so the space always fills with real reviews rather than a cut-off page. On a wide block it lays out the rating and star breakdown beside your reviews. In a very short strip it shows a one-line rating. This makes the widget work anywhere, from a full-width section to a sidebar.

​
A note on search engines

The widget is for your visitors — it shows social proof at the moment someone is deciding whether to book. It doesn’t change how your business appears in Google search results: Google doesn’t award star ratings in search for reviews a business displays about itself on its own site, and content inside the widget isn’t read as part of your page’s text by search engines.

​
Troubleshooting

  • Nothing appears on my site. Check the page is published (on Wix, custom HTML only renders after Publish), and that your site plan allows custom code — some builders restrict embed elements on entry-level plans.
  • My reviews are cut off / the block scrolls. Your embed block is shorter than your reviews need, so it’s scrolling to fit them. On Wix, drag the block taller or increase the height value in the snippet to show more at once. On other builders, re-copy the latest snippet from Bella, which sizes itself to your reviews automatically.
  • The widget is empty. The widget only renders once you have at least one published review — see Reviews for collecting your first ones.
  • I changed my booking page address. Old snippets keep working after a change of booking address, but it’s best to re-copy the snippet so it uses the current one.
