⭐ How to Find Your TripAdvisor Review Link (And Get More Reviews the Right Way)
Introduction
For any business in the travel, hospitality, or tourism industry, TripAdvisor isn't just a website; it's the digital front door. A high rating and a steady stream of recent reviews are critical for attracting new customers, whether you're a hotel, a restaurant, or a local tour operator.
While you could just hope that customers find you, the most successful businesses make it easy for them. Simply saying "Find us on TripAdvisor" creates friction.
The solution? A direct, one-click link that takes your guests straight to the "Write a Review" page for your business.
In this guide, we'll show you exactly where to find this powerful link and how to use it effectively (and ethically) to build your reputation.
Method 1: The Official Owner's Method (The Best Way)
TripAdvisor provides a suite of free tools for listed businesses. This is the most professional and powerful way to get your review link and track its success.
- Log in to Your Management Center: Go to the TripAdvisor Management Center and log in to the account associated with your business.
- Navigate to "Review Tools": In your main dashboard menu, look for a section called "Review Tools" or "Marketing Tools."
- Find the "Review Link": Within this section, TripAdvisor offers several options. Look for a tool named "Review Link," "Get More Reviews," or a similar promotion tool.
- Copy Your Unique Link: This tool will provide you with a dedicated URL. It often looks something like this:
https://www.tripadvisor.com/Review?m=...
This link is perfect because it's clean, professional, and often allows you to track clicks within your Management Center.
Method 2: The Manual Link (The Quick Way)
If you can't access your Management Center or just need the link for someone else's business, this manual method works every time.
- Find Your Business on TripAdvisor: Go to TripAdvisor.com and search for the exact name of your business.
- Click "Write a Review": On your main listing page, scroll down slightly. You will see a prominent button labeled "Write a Review."
- Copy the URL from the Next Page: Click the "Write a Review" button. This will take you to the actual review form (where you select the star rating, write your title, etc.).
- Look at Your Browser's Address Bar: This is the link you want. Copy the full URL from your browser's address bar.
It will be a long URL, but it's the most direct link to the review form itself. It usually looks something like this: https://www.tripadvisor.com/UserReview-g...
Since this link is long and ugly, we recommend using a free link-shortener like Bitly to create a clean, shareable version (e.g., bit.ly/ReviewMyHotel).
📈 How to Use Your Link: The Smart Strategy
Getting the link is only step one. Now, you must use it. TripAdvisor encourages you to ask for reviews, as long as you do it the right way.
Here are the most effective places to put your new link:
Use "Review Express" (TripAdvisor's #1 Tool)
Inside your Management Center, "Review Express" is a free tool that lets you send professional, automated emails to recent guests asking for a review. This is the single best way to get reviews, as it's official, trackable, and highly effective.
Put it in a QR Code
This is essential for in-person businesses. Convert your review link into a QR code and place it on:
- Restaurant tables (on a small sign or the menu)
- The hotel front desk
- In-room welcome cards
- Receipts and invoices
Use Official TripAdvisor Widgets
Don't just use a text link on your website. Go to your Management Center's "Marketing Tools" and find "Website Widgets." They offer official "Review Us on TripAdvisor" badges that you can install, which link directly to your page. This builds trust and looks professional.
Add it to Email Signatures
A simple, passive win. Add a line to your email signature: "Enjoy your stay? [Leave us a review on TripAdvisor!]"
Conclusion
A steady flow of new reviews is the lifeblood of any tourism-focused business, and TripAdvisor is the king of the industry.
By finding your direct review link and using the tools in your Management Center (especially Review Express and website widgets), you eliminate friction for your happy customers. You aren't being pushy; you're being helpful.
Stop hoping for reviews and start making it easy to get them.
