Tripaneer Helped Me Find a Wonderful Trip

This company, new to me, led me to a wonderful retreat, took my deposit, and facilitated my connection with the teacher. I hadn't heard of Tripaneer before I Googled "Kauai yoga retreats," but I found the retreat easily in one of the top results.

Paradise by the sea

The campus is ideally located on a small hill with the beach at its foot. It' s perfectly calm at night.
The food is scrumptious and the teachers patient and efficient.
I enjoyed it all, the classes, the beach, the bungalow, the location, my comrades and, of course, the food!!

No Ethos

I wouldn’t even give them 1 star… the organiser cancelled the trip due to injury, whom I wouldn’t book with again due to attitude. Such a turn off for a yoga teacher training…
I had to chase the company for a deposit refund, and they ignore your emails repetitively, so I have lost my refund.
They only have customer care if they are TAKING money from you… sorry to say.
Awful company and connections.

Hi Anna. We sincerely regret that your experience did not meet your expectations. A cancellation due to an organizer's injury is undoubtedly unforeseen and beyond anyone's control, and we understand how disappointing this must have been for you. The organizer contacted us on Jan 25th regarding the cancellation of your booking, and our team contacted you on the next business day to inform you about your refund options. However, it appears that we initially did not receive a response despite our follow-ups. That being said, we want to assure you that your refund has already been queued for processing. We truly appreciate your patience and understanding, and we remain committed to assisting you. If there's anything else we can do to further support you, please don't hesitate to reach out.

WARNING

WARNING
The search functionality and booking process are fantastic, I’ve booked through them 4 times now. On my current booking I’ve needed to change the date. The venue/retreat say it’s available and that I need to make the change through bookyogaretreats. A week has passed and this has not been done, I’ve chased them twice, only to be told they are working on it. Meanwhile the reason I needed to reschedule, work client, has been left hanging while this basic request holds everyone up, I cannot proceed till they confirm, so I can confirm my availability. I am loosing money over poor admin and processes.

Hi LondonReview. We sincerely apologize for any delay in processing your date change request. While we aim to handle all requests promptly, approvals depend on the organizer's confirmation. As they manage various retreat responsibilities, they may not always be immediately available. That said, we're happy to confirm that your dates have now been updated. We appreciate your patience and regret any inconvenience caused. Your concerns matter to us, and we remain committed to improving our processes for a smoother experience. Please let us know if there's anything else we can assist with!

The Perfect Platform for a Sun, Surf Yoga Beach Holiday

Booking my sun, surf, yoga beach holiday through BookYogaRetreats was an absolute breeze! The platform is super intuitive, making it easy to find retreats that match exactly what I was looking for, the perfect blend of relaxation and adventure. I found an incredible retreat in Agadir, combining yoga, fitness, and beach workouts, all set against the stunning coastal backdrop. The site offers detailed descriptions and real reviews, so I felt completely confident in my choice. If you're dreaming of a rejuvenating beach holiday with yoga and surf, BookYogaRetreats is definitely the place to book it!

The platform made it incredibly easy to find a retreat that suited my needs – whether it was yoga, fitness, or something more unique like Latino dance. The selection of retreats is fantastic, and the booking process was seamless from start to finish. I loved how detailed the descriptions were, which helped me choose the perfect retreat in Agadir.

BookYogaRetreats is a good platform

BookYogaRetreats helped me find a great yoga retreat in the North of Germany, near the Danish border.

Especially the way BYR put you in contact with the yoga organistion is very open and easy.

Also the reviews were trustworthy (can only speak personally for this experience, didn't go to any other yoga retreats)

Thank you for your platform and service! 🍀🍀🌞

Nothing negative about this place

Nothing negative about this place. From the wonderful quiet rooms to the delicious food, space in the lodge for company or solo time, to the the yoga studio. The teacher was lovely, knowledgable and went at a pace for all abilities. A good amount of practice each day with meditation also. I absolutely loved it and will be back

Wonderful, soulful retreat!

This retreat was a wonderful, healing and soulful experience for me!
I had some key issues in my life, which I have been dealing with for some years. Until the retreat, I had not found the root of it and a way to resolve, let go and heal.

I didn’t have deep mediation experience and did not quite know what I was expecting. So I trusted the process and allowed myself to fully open up.

Agnes is such a kind and warm person. She was all there for me during my whole stay. The schedule was very individual and flexible. We looked at what I needed and adapted accordingly along the way.
She guided me to find answers, helped me to see and feel things differently. With myself, with the relations to others, with my past and to truly be in the present.
I experienced deepest meditation and had several so pure and so magical moments during my stay.

Also, the villa is a wonderful place to find rest, to disconnect and recharge. It is close to nature, where we had beautiful walks, and there are restaurants nearby for nice dinners.

Leaving the retreat, I feel I am finally connected with myself. I feel so light and powerful at the same time. So grateful for this and can highly recommend!

Annoying to use

As someone who tries to list their retreats online through bookyogaretreats I have to say it is one of the most user-unfriendly pages I’ve ever used. I use another booking website and everything that takes 5 minutes at this website takes at least half an hour on the bookyogaretreats. I am dreading if I have to do alterations to my retreats because it’s so complicated, the customer service is bad and overall I’m almost not using the website anymore or put in much less effort compared to the other website. I don’t recommend.

Excellent yoga retreat

Excellent yoga retreat for my partner and I. We hadn’t done yoga before and wanted to use this trip as a way to learn about it.
The team at Riverside Cabins was excellent. The facilities were second to none and the staff were always at hand to help us if we had any requests.

Yasmin was an excellent yoga coach and chef.
Overall it was a great experience and I would definitely recommend it.

Complete bait and switch

Complete bait and switch. Their site advertised a single occupancy room w/ private bath for $1,699. Once they verified availability, they sent me a link to complete my reservation. I noticed "Premium" was missing from the description and when I asked them about it, "oops, it was an honest mistake and I can book for $3,200 instead. I am glad I verified and would not suggest using them. Go directly to the resorts themselves to book.

Hi Angel. Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We sincerely apologize for the confusion you experienced while inquiring with us. Providing clear and accurate information is incredibly important to us, and we regret that the listing did not correctly reflect the room type and pricing you were interested in. It appears the incorrect pricing was mistakenly advertised by the event organizer, which unfortunately led to the need for rectification post inquiry. We understand how frustrating this can be and want to assure you that this was an honest mistake with no intention whatsoever to mislead you. We are working closely with our organizer to ensure these errors are corrected and that all information is accurate moving forward. Your feedback is invaluable, and we would love the opportunity to make this right. Please don't hesitate to reach out to us directly if you would like to discuss this further or explore other options. Thank you again for your input, and we hope to have the chance to assist you in the future.

Absolutely horrible to work with as an organizer of retreats. The system is slow, you can´t to changes on your own, but need Tripaneer to physically approve every time, and they are SLOW! Often they make mistakes, and correcting them again is even slower.
Very, very stressful to "co-operate" with.

Zen!…

If you need to get away from the hustle and bustle of life, hinterland is the place to stay. It's peaceful and tranquil and the hospitality is truly amazing. What modcons are lacking Unni's team and service certainly makes up for it.

It's very basic but very welcoming and enough to make your stay enjoyable. The treatments, yoga, spiritual attitude all contribute to my wellbeing perfectly. It's definitely worth a visit and I will definitely return. Unni thank you and job well done x

Loved the yoga experience

Loved the yoga experience. Timea is an excellent instructor. This was the best part of the experience. There were not many instructions about the hotel and meals and the schedule. I had to figure that out myself. The weather was bad so there was no communication on where to go for the class. Not very organized.
