Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an accommodation that you booked through our platform if you stayed there, or if you got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize in detecting fake reviews submitted to our platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, or the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and other similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties, and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

The beautiful history of the Ringling Brothers was present in every room as well as the well kept details of the original house itself. The main couple hosting us was also very kind, friendly, and helpful! The house was very clean. Such a fun, unique way to spend a weekend.

United StatesJulie and Stu's were very communicative before my stay and flexible in allowing me to check in late. The bed was very comfortable, and the bathroom was clean and had all of the amenities. Breakfast was really nice; each morning, there was a hot item, a pastry, yogurt, assorted fruits, and juice, tea, coffee, or water. The hot items were really great, as was the coffee! Highly recommend staying at Julie and Stu's B&B :)

United StatesNo elevator. Had I thought about it, I should have asked and could have planned better. One of the owners did transport my bag down in the morning but wasn’t happy about it even though I tipped him well.
I liked the historical feeling of the home. The owner has furnished it as authentic as possible and gives a lovely tour of the home following breakfast in the morning. The breakfast was delicious, served at my own little table. Fortunate for me, the rest of the guests that night were very social and we were able to strike up a lively conversation.

United KingdomAbsolutely nothing.
Ringling House totally exceeded my expectations, after staying for a week in a standard hotel, Ringling house was a fabulous change of pace, taste and comfort. I booked the Charles and Edith room with the four poster bed, which was exceptionally comfortable. The decor is amazing and the atmosphere of this house exudes so much history. I knew nothing of the Ringling brothers and the circus history, but learnt so much about them from the host, Julie, and also the circus museum in town. The sitting room and the library were peaceful havens for sitting and reading, and Julie presented delicious breakfasts and chats each morning. There is ample parking at the back of the property, and you can easily walk into town if you fancy partaking of the local eateries. Julie was very knowledgable about the area and its history and was such a great host. If I return to Baraboo, I will be staying here.
