Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to common questions about Go With Rosie
When you book through Go With Rosie, we're the merchant of record. That means we have a direct relationship with the hotel — no bouncing between third parties trying to figure out who can actually help you. If something goes wrong, you contact us and we handle it. Reach out anytime at hello@gowithrosie.com or through our contact form.
Planning your trip is free — no subscription, no planning fees. Build itineraries, browse family scores, save your favorites, all at no cost. You only pay when you book a hotel or activity, and our prices match what you'd find elsewhere.
We earn a commission from hotels when you book through us. It doesn't add anything to your price — you pay the same rate you'd find on the hotel's own site. That's it. No ads, no sponsored placements, no premium tiers for planning.
It's a 0–100 family-friendliness rating we calculate for every venue. We look at kid-friendly amenities, safety, accessibility, value, and real parent reviews to build a score that tells you how well a place works for families — not just how nice it is in general. This data doesn't exist anywhere else. It's the foundation everything on our platform is built on.
No. Venues cannot pay to improve their Rosie Score or get better placement. Our recommendations are based entirely on how well a place works for families. If we can't trust the scores, neither can you — so we keep money out of them completely.
Three things no one else does. First, we score every venue specifically for families — not generic star ratings, but data on whether a place actually works when you show up with kids. Second, when you book through us, we're the merchant of record. You deal with us, not a chain of middlemen. Third, nothing is sponsored. No venue pays for placement. What you see is what we genuinely recommend.
No. You can use Go With Rosie just for planning and research, then book wherever you want. But the platform works better when you book through us — your itinerary, hotel, and trip details all stay connected in one place, and if anything goes wrong, we can step in directly because we hold the booking relationship.
We use your information to personalize your experience — family size, ages, preferences — so recommendations actually fit your crew. We don't sell your data. Ever. Full details are in our privacy policy, but the short version: your family's information stays with us.
Go With Rosie was built by a distributed team of technologists who believe travel planning shouldn't be this hard for families. We're not all parents — but we are people who care about building products that make a real difference. We saw a gap no one was filling and decided to fill it.
