Disappointing Retreat Experience
Rude, unprofessional, superficial, insensitive, unresponsive
The booking process with book retreats, the framework, was great though.

Thanks Natalie!
We appreciate the feedback.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience.
We’re glad to hear that your booking experience with BookRetreats went smoothly; creating a simple and reliable way to discover and reserve retreats is something our team puts a lot of care into.
We were sorry to read that your time at the retreat itself felt disappointing. After seeing your review, we reached out to the host to better understand what may have happened during your stay. They shared that you unfortunately weren’t feeling well for part of the training and were unable to attend several of the scheduled sessions.
Teacher trainings do have specific attendance requirements in order to issue a certification, as the certificate reflects completion of the full training hours. We understand that when unexpected circumstances affect participation, it can make the overall experience feel very different from what was originally hoped for.
We truly hope you’re feeling better now, and we appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback.
Many Blessings,
Amanda

Claudia and her team were lovely and wonderful teachers. However, this is not a retreat—it’s a studio with accommodations and should be listed as such. I was the only participant! A retreat typically involves a group experience where you eat, train, and take part in activities together.

Hannah was fantastic
Hannah was patient and listened. She stayed very focused on my specific wants and needs for an initial short term therapeutic retreat in nature with therapy and mindfulness, also sent options/alternatives in gorgeous places with medical help and spa services as well as adventure, community, nature's beauty for my next trip. Truly helpful and patient, got me excited to do this!
