What's going wrong
Site owners using the Widgets for Airbnb Reviews plugin report that after connecting their Airbnb listing, the widget keeps showing a message saying reviews are still being downloaded. The wait ranges from minutes to weeks, and clearing caches, reinstalling and removing cached assets did not help. Some owners see a blank setup step or a sync error, while others say new guest reviews never show up at all. Many forum posts describe the same symptom and close without a clear explanation. Someone who can diagnose the Airbnb import, show its progress and retry it automatically would help hosts who rely on these reviews to win bookings.
