How to Add a Booking Widget to IONOS MyWebsite

2 min read

An IONOS 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 drops straight into an IONOS MyWebsite HTML module.

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 IONOS MyWebsite

  1. Open your MyWebsite project and select Content in the left menu.
  2. Hover over the section where you want the form, click Elements, and choose the HTML module.
  3. Click the module placeholder, then Code, and paste the full <script> widget code.
  4. When IONOS asks whether the code needs visitor consent, choose to run it directly, otherwise the form only appears after the visitor accepts cookies. Then publish.

If the IONOS 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 module is not set to wait for cookie consent, which is the most common cause on IONOS. Third, that you are looking at the published site rather than the editor.
