Tripadvisor Reviews + CaptiFi

Prompt happy WiFi guests to review you on Tripadvisor, on its own or alongside Google, with no API key needed. Hardware included, 30-day trial.

Overview

What does the Tripadvisor Reviews integration do?

The Tripadvisor Reviews integration points your automated review requests at Tripadvisor, alone or alongside Google, from one pasted listing URL with no API key. Happy guests land on your Tripadvisor page or a branded choice page, and Tripadvisor reviews then appear in the Review Inbox. Built for hotels, guesthouses and restaurants whose bookings come through Tripadvisor. Essentials plan and above.

The Tripadvisor Reviews integration points your automated review requests at Tripadvisor, on its own or alongside Google. Paste your venue's public Tripadvisor listing URL, choose where happy guests should land, and the same review request email and text message your guests already receive start routing them to Tripadvisor when their rating meets your Minimum stars for a public review. No Tripadvisor account connection and no API key are needed.

You choose the destination per venue: Tripadvisor only, or a branded choice page that lists every review platform you have set up (Google, Tripadvisor and any of Yelp, Facebook, Trustpilot, Untappd and REVIEWS.io you add) so the guest picks. Lower ratings open the private feedback form, with the public review links kept visible, so every guest stays free to post publicly whatever their rating, and the rating and any comment reach you by email.

Tripadvisor reviews also flow into the Review Inbox alongside Google, where a Reply on Tripadvisor button deep-links you to the Tripadvisor Management Center to post your reply. For hotels, guesthouses and restaurants whose bookings live on Tripadvisor, review recency there translates directly into visibility and bookings.

Why connect Tripadvisor Reviews to CaptiFi

Tripadvisor prompts with zero setup friction

One pasted listing URL is the whole connection. There is no Tripadvisor login, no API key and no approval process; guests are simply routed to your public listing to write their review.

Let the guest choose

The branded choice page offers a button for every review platform you have set up, Google and Tripadvisor plus Yelp, Facebook, Trustpilot, Untappd or REVIEWS.io if you add them, so you grow each profile from one review request instead of splitting it into separate campaigns.

Same flow your guests already know

The review request email and text message do not change. The link routes each guest once they rate their visit, so switching platforms never needs a template edit.

Tripadvisor reviews in the Review Inbox

Tripadvisor reviews appear in the Review Inbox alongside Google, each with a deep link to the Tripadvisor Management Center to post your reply.

How it works

Up and running in minutes

1

Link your Tripadvisor listing

Use Find your business on the Reviews page to link it by name, or open the Tripadvisor Reviews card on the Integrations page and paste your venue page URL from tripadvisor.com. It contains a "-d" segment such as -d1234567- and you can copy it straight from your browser.

2

Choose where happy guests land

Pick Tripadvisor only, or let the guest choose on a branded page that lists every platform you have set up, Google and Tripadvisor plus Yelp, Facebook, Trustpilot, Untappd or REVIEWS.io if you add them. Google only remains the default if you change your mind later.

Reply from the Review Inbox

New Tripadvisor reviews sync into the Review Inbox daily. Post your reply through the Management Center deep link, then mark the review replied.

In the real world

How venues use Tripadvisor Reviews with CaptiFi

Hotel

A guesthouse whose bookings come through Tripadvisor points happy guests straight there, and uses the Review Inbox each morning to answer overnight reviews, marking each one replied so nothing is answered twice.

Restaurant

A restaurant lets guests choose between Google and Tripadvisor on the choice page, growing both profiles from a single automated review request, and adds Yelp to the same page as a third option.

Cafe

A tourist-area cafe switches its summer review requests to Tripadvisor, where visiting guests research where to eat, then back to Google for the local winter trade.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a Tripadvisor API key or account connection?
No. Review prompts only need your public listing URL; guests are routed to your Tripadvisor page to write their review exactly as if they had found it themselves. The Review Inbox sync runs on CaptiFi's platform-level access, so there is nothing for you to create or maintain.
Does the review request email or text message change?
No. Your guests receive the same branded request they always have. The link inside it routes each guest to the right destination once they rate their visit, based on your per-venue setting.
Can I use Tripadvisor and Google at the same time?
Yes. Choose "let the guest choose" and guests whose rating meets your Minimum stars for a public review see a branded page with a Review us on Google button and a Review us on Tripadvisor button side by side. If you have also set up Yelp, Facebook, Trustpilot, Untappd or REVIEWS.io, a button for each appears on the same page.
How do replies work?
Tripadvisor does not allow third-party tools to post owner replies, so the Review Inbox gets you one click away: the deep link opens the Tripadvisor Management Center, where you write and post the reply from your own account.
Is this compliant with review platform rules?
Every guest who is asked gets the same request and the same public links, no incentive is offered, and the private feedback form for lower ratings shows the public links too, so nobody is prevented from reviewing you publicly. Google's rules prohibit selectively asking for reviews, and CaptiFi asks every guest the same way.
