What is a Tripadvisor QR code?
A Tripadvisor QR code is a QR code that contains the link to your Tripadvisor review page. When a guest scans it with the phone camera, Tripadvisor opens with the form to write a review about your hotel, restaurant or attraction. They do not have to search for your name. Paste your link above, add your logo and colors, and download the code as PNG, SVG or PDF. Free to download.
Hotels, restaurants, cafes, tour operators and museums use a Tripadvisor review QR code to ask guests at the right moment, while the visit is fresh. People also search for a Trip Advisor QR code, written as two words. The site is spelled Tripadvisor, and the code works the same.
To post, a guest needs a Tripadvisor account, or has to create one. Any iPhone or Android camera can read the code, so there is no special Tripadvisor scanner or app to install.
How to get your Tripadvisor review link
Search for your business on Tripadvisor and open its page. Check the name, the address and the category, because some places have more than one listing. If you manage the listing, sign in to your Tripadvisor owner account first.
Click Write a review on the listing page. The page that opens is the review form for your business. Copy its address from the browser bar. Do not copy the address of the listing page itself: it shows your reviews but does not open the form.
Paste the link into the generator at the top of this page. Add a frame with a call to action such as “Review us on Tripadvisor”, choose your colors and add your logo. Download PNG for screens, or SVG or PDF for print.
Scan the code with two phones. Check that the review form opens for the right business and city, then close it without posting. Do not post a review on your own business.

When you begin creating your Tripadvisor QR code, you'll need to include specific information. The key requirement is to provide the URL link to your Tripadvisor review page. You will have the choice to choose whether to include any additional details beyond this.
Using the Tripadvisor Code Generator, you can design a landing page. This page serves as the destination for users after scanning the QR code. Within the landing page, you can incorporate additional content such as additional social media links, images, or files showcasing your business.
As you approach the finishing touches, you'll proceed to customize your QR code. You'll have multiple design choices available, including various shapes, colors, frames, and square formats. Moreover, you can integrate your business logo into the design. By uploading your logo file to the generator, it will be seamlessly incorporated into the central portion of the QR code.
Once you've completed all the creation steps, be sure to save and download your QR code onto your device. Check its functionality by scanning it with a smartphone and interacting with the review page. If all works, you can effortlessly incorporate your Tripadvisor review code in the form of a QR code into your business.
What Tripadvisor allows when you ask for reviews
You may ask your guests to write a review. A QR code is a normal way to do it. Tripadvisor sets rules for how you ask, and you should read them on Tripadvisor’s own owner pages before you print. In short:
- No incentives. Do not offer a discount, a free drink, an upgrade, a gift or a prize draw in exchange for a review. This includes offers for a good review only. Tripadvisor can remove such reviews and can apply penalties to the listing.
- Ask everyone. Do not send only the guests who look happy to the QR code. Tripadvisor removes reviews it judges to be biased. Offer the same code to every guest.
- No reviews of your own business. Owners, staff and their families should not review the place.
- Real visits only. Ask guests who really stayed, ate or took part.
“Scan to review us on Tripadvisor” is fine. “Scan and get a free coffee for 5 stars” is not. The same ideas apply to Google reviews: see our Google review QR code page.

Tripadvisor QR code not working? Check these first
-
It opens the wrong page
You copied the listing page or another business, not your review form. Open your listing, click Write a review, copy that address and make a new code. Check the name and the city before you print.
-
The code will not scan
Check the size (at least 2 x 2 cm / 0.8 in), the contrast and the white border. Scratches, glossy laminate, glare, creases and a very large logo in the middle also stop scans.

Where to use a Tripadvisor QR code? Examples
Tap on the images to zoom in
Put the code on the receipt holder, the bill folder or a table card. Guests are done eating and have a phone in hand. A line such as “Enjoyed your meal? Review us on Tripadvisor” is enough. Do not offer anything in return.
The best places are the check-out desk, the key-card sleeve and a card in the room. Many guests write on the way home or after they return, so a code on the check-out email or on a thank-you card also works. A hotel review QR code works best when staff mention it once.
Guides can hand a card or show a sign at the end of the trip, when the group is relaxed. Put the code on the booking confirmation as well, so guests can review from home.
Put the code on the exit sign, the ticket or the shop counter. People think of a review as they leave. Use one code for each listing, for example one for the museum and one for the cafe.
How to get more scans for a Tripadvisor QR code
-
Ask at the right moment
Hand it over at check-out, with the bill or after the tour, when the guest is happy to stop and use the phone. Ask once, in one short sentence. -
Say what to do
Add a frame with a call to action such as "Review us on Tripadvisor". A bare code gives no hint of what happens after the scan.
-
Print it big enough
Use at least 2 x 2 cm (0.8 in) on a card or a table. Make it larger on signs. Use a dark code on a light background with a white border. -
Use your brand
A logo in the middle and your colors help guests trust the code. Test the code again after every design change.
Best practices for a Tripadvisor QR code
Each property, restaurant or attraction has its own review form. Make a separate code for each one and name the files clearly, such as tripadvisor-qr-old-town.png, so the wrong code never goes on the wrong wall.
After a guest posts, thank them or answer their points in a short, polite reply. Tripadvisor lets owners respond to reviews from their owner account. A reply to a bad review shows future guests how you handle problems.
A static code is enough for most places, because your review form link does not change when you edit the listing. A dynamic code is worth it if you have several locations and want to see which sign gets scanned, or if you may need to change the destination later. Scans show when, where and on which device people scanned. They count scans, not posted reviews. Tick Edit later or Track scans above to start a 14-day free trial. Starter is EUR 7 per month billed yearly, and code NEW30 gives 30% off your first purchase.
If Tripadvisor merges or moves your listing, or you change the business name or address, scan your printed codes again. A listing change can end up with a different link.
What a Tripadvisor QR code can and cannot do
A scan takes guests to the page where they write a review. It saves the search for your name. It does not write a review for them and it does not make them post one.
Pageloot can count scans, but it cannot see who posts on Tripadvisor. Compare your scan numbers with the reviews that appear on your listing to see how many scans turn into reviews.
The code cannot preselect stars or wording, and you should not ask for a specific score. Ask for an honest review and accept what comes.
Tripadvisor checks reviews before they go live, so a review may not show up right away. Do not ask guests to post again.
Tripadvisor offers owners a free email tool in its Management Center, called Review Express, that sends review requests to past guests. Menu names can change, so look under “Get more reviews”. A QR code is the in-person partner to that email.
More reviews come from more asks. Better ratings come from better visits. The code only makes it easy to write. Fix the problems that guests mention instead of trying to hide them.
