How to Add a Booking Widget to Drupal

2 min read

A Drupal booking widget lets guests check availability and book without leaving your site, and without paying anyone a commission. Mangobeds gives you the widget as a single <script> snippet, which goes into a Drupal block set to the Full HTML text format.

The widget also carries the AI booking assistant, so visitors who are not ready to book can ask about dates, prices and house rules and leave you a booking lead instead of leaving the page.

Step 1: Copy your embed code

  • Navigate to Booking Forms: In your Mangobeds dashboard, go to the Forms section.
  • Select Your Booking Form: Choose the booking form you want to embed.
  • Copy the Embed Code: Click on the Insert in my web button. This copies the full Mangobeds widget code, a small <script> snippet, to your clipboard.
  • Paste the Code on Your Website: Insert this snippet into the HTML of your website where you want the booking form to appear. The widget loads the form, resizes it automatically, and enables the AI booking assistant chat. The snippet looks like this:

<script async data-form-id="BOOKINGFORMID" src="https://www.mangobeds.com/js/widget/booking-form.js"></script>

Important: do not embed the booking form as a bare <iframe> on its own. If you copy only the iframe (for example <iframe src="https://www.mangobeds.com/booking-forms/..."></iframe>), the form may still appear, but the widget features will not work: the AI booking assistant chat will not load, and the form will not resize correctly on your page. Always paste the full <script> widget code shown above so these features load.

Step 2: Paste it into Drupal

  1. Go to Content → Blocks → Add content block (on Drupal 9 and earlier: Structure → Block layout → Add custom block).
  2. Paste the full <script> widget code into the Body field and set the text format to Full HTML. Basic HTML and Restricted HTML strip <script> tags.
  3. Save the block, then place it in the region and on the pages where you want the form.
  4. Go to Configuration → Performance and click Clear all caches, then reload the page.

If the Drupal booking widget does not appear

Check three things, in this order. First, that you pasted the full <script> snippet and not a bare <iframe>. Second, that the text format is Full HTML and that your role is allowed to use it, since anything else strips the script on save. Third, that you cleared the cache: Drupal serves the old markup until you do.
