How do I build the review link?

Look up your Place ID in Google’s Place ID finder, then assemble a search.google.com/local/writereview?placeid=… URL and encode that — it opens the rating form directly rather than your Maps listing.

Can guests use it without installing anything?

Yes — the camera on iOS 11+ and Android 10+ opens the link with no app, though guests do need to be signed into a Google account to post the review.

Is there a way to count scans?

Not from a static code by itself. Route a dynamic code at your review link if you want scan numbers — the static-versus-dynamic guide explains the set-up.

Google Review QR Codes for Hotels (Free)

Google review QR codes for hotels

A Google review QR code takes a departing guest straight to your review box, ready to leave stars and a comment — no searching your hotel on Maps. Placed at the checkout desk or on the key-card sleeve, it catches the goodwill of a good stay before it fades. Paste your Place ID review link below to make one free.

Hotel rankings on Google and the booking sites move on review volume and recency, yet most satisfied guests check out and never think to review. A review QR code closes that gap at the one reliable touchpoint: checkout. Point it at your https://search.google.com/local/writereview?placeid=… link so the scan opens the star box directly, and a smooth departure becomes a fresh five-star review.

Where a hotel review code goes

On the checkout desk — a small standee while the guest settles the bill and waits for the receipt.
On the key-card sleeve — travels to the room and back, a quiet prompt all stay.
In the departure email or compendium — caught after a restful night, when sentiment is highest.

Time it to checkout

Ask when the experience is complete but fresh — at checkout, or in a same-day departure email. A line like “Enjoyed your stay? A quick review helps other travellers” converts far better than a silent code. Pair this with your hotel location code and Wi-Fi code across the guest journey.

Make your hotel review code

From Place ID to a checkout-desk code:

1
Find your Place ID review link
Use Google’s Place ID finder, then build a writereview link with your ID.
2
Paste the link above
The generator builds a scannable code instantly, in your browser.
3
Download as SVG or PDF
Vector formats stay sharp on a standee or key-card sleeve.
4
Add a one-line ask
“Scan to review your stay on Google” makes the request clear.

Ask at checkout, not check-in

A guest can only review the whole stay as they leave, so the strongest prompt belongs at the front desk during checkout and on the folio — not the welcome pack. Point the code at the writereview URL with your Place ID so the rating screen opens ready while they’re still in the lobby.

No — it’s free to generate and print on a standee or key-card sleeve, with no watermark and no account. OpenQR is open source and runs in your browser.
