About the Facebook Reviews Widget
Zyff's Facebook reviews widget shows the recommendations from your Facebook Page on any website, free. Paste your page address — no Facebook app, API key or login to connect — and Zyff collects the public recommendations, then renders them in one of six layouts: cards, a list, a carousel, masonry, a compact rating badge, or a rotating spotlight. Filter to positive recommendations only, hide ones containing a keyword, set a minimum length, and choose the order. A call-to-action button can send visitors to your page to leave their own. Recommendations are fetched on the server and stored by Zyff, so the widget keeps working without asking Facebook on every pageview. The output is one div and one script tag that works in WordPress, Shopify, Wix, Squarespace, Webflow or a hand-written HTML page alike.
How to embed Facebook reviews on your website
Paste your page address
Enter facebook.com/yourbusiness, or just the page name. Reviews have to be switched on for the page and the page has to be public.
Load the recommendations
Press Load recommendations. The first fetch takes up to a minute; after that they are served from Zyff's own copy and load instantly.
Choose a layout
Pick a template, then set the columns, how many are shown and the order. Every setting previews live against your real recommendations.
Filter what appears
Show positive recommendations only, hide ones containing a word, or require a minimum length. The widget says on the page whenever it is showing a filtered set.
Save and paste the code
Sign in free to save the widget, copy the two-line snippet, and paste it where the reviews should appear. Editing the saved widget updates every site using it.
What the Facebook Reviews Widget does
No Facebook app to set up
Paste a public page address. There is nothing to authorise, no developer account and no access token to keep alive.
Six layouts
Cards, list, carousel, masonry, a compact rating badge and a rotating spotlight — each a preset you can then adjust.
Filters, free
Positive-only, minimum length, and a keyword blocklist. Deciding which recommendations appear on your own site is not an upsell.
Honest about ratings
Facebook retired star ratings in 2018. When your page has none, the header shows the share of people who recommend you — Zyff never invents stars nobody gave.
A button that asks for more
An optional call to action sends visitors to your page's reviews tab, so the widget grows the thing it displays.
Every card links back
The reviewer's name and a link to the original on Facebook are always shown. Republishing someone's words without either is not something Zyff will do.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a Facebook app or API access?
No. Zyff reads the public recommendations on your page, so there is nothing to authorise and no token to maintain. The page has to be public and have reviews switched on in its settings.
Why does my page show a percentage instead of a star rating?
Because Facebook stopped issuing star ratings in 2018 and replaced them with a yes-or-no recommendation. When your page still publishes a 1-5 rating, Zyff shows it; when it does not, the header shows the share of people who recommend you instead. Zyff will not draw five stars from a number Facebook never gave.
Can I hide negative reviews?
You can set the widget to show positive recommendations only, and it will then state on the page that it is doing so. The disclosure is not optional — showing a filtered set of opinions without saying so misleads whoever reads it, and every review also links back to the original on Facebook.
How often do the reviews update?
Zyff re-checks a page at most once every 72 hours, and only when someone asks it to from the editor. Nothing runs on a timer, so recommendations never change behind your back; press "Check Facebook for new recommendations" whenever you want the latest.
Can I show reviews from more than one page?
One page per widget. Embed a second widget for a second page — combining two pages into one rating would be inventing an aggregate that neither page publishes.
What happens to recommendations I have already collected?
They are kept. Facebook returns a window of recent recommendations, so a widget that only showed the last fetch would lose ones that merely scrolled out of it. Zyff pools them across checks, and the text is never altered — a stored recommendation is exactly what Facebook last returned.
