Add/Edit a Review

In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to add and showcase reviews or testimonials to your Hotel Propeller website. The reviews will appear in a page using the Reviews template, as well as rotated in a Reviews widget.

About page using the “Reviews” template

A Reviews widget showcasing reviews

1.) Ready review source(s)

Sometimes specific reviews will be provided. Most of the time, you will have to check out the social media (Facebook, Google+, etc.) and/or review website (Yelp, TripAdvisor, etc.) profiles of the restaurant and grab the positive ones (4/5-star reviews, minor to no complaints) to feature.

In a new tab/window, open up the profile page of the restaurant and navigate to the reviews section.

2.) Download reviewer’s photo

If available, download the reviewer’s profile image/thumbnail. Images at least 40×40 work best, but if smaller than that you can use whatever is available.

3.) Create a new review or edit an existing one

In another tab/window, open the website’s dashboard, and go to Reviews > Add New. You can also just click on Reviews if you’re editing an existing one.

4.) Fill up the review fields

Before pasting in the review field make sure it is switched to the Text tab to avoid including the text formatting of the review source.
Enter (or paste in) reviewers name in the Review Title and reviewer’s Name fields.
Enter reviewer’s location in the Title field under the Review by section. If location is not available, you can enter “(via SOURCE)” instead. Example: (via Facebook)
Upload the reviewer’s photo.
Paste in review in the content box. For lenghty reviews, you can cut off a few parts (like what specific menu item they ordered) replacing it with an ellipsis (…) making it total to no more than 500 characters.
Click on the Update/Publish button to save your changes.

That’s it! You can repeat these steps to add more reviews.
