Restore our listing

Namaste 🙏

Thank you for your time.

As clearly mentioned in our emails, while the foundation name is the same, Rishikul Yogshala Rishikesh operates as an independent entity with different ownership, location, management and faculty. Therefore, suspending our Rishikesh listing without any dispute or conflict does not seem justified, especially when we have maintained transparency and clarity from the beginning.

We kindly request immediate reactivation of our Rishikesh account, as this suspension has affected our visibility and student inquiries. We have been trying to resolve this matter calmly and professionally, but if the account continues to remain inactive without a valid reason or explanation, we will have no option but to address this publicly through social media and relevant professional platforms.

We would appreciate your support in restoring access at the earliest and avoiding any unnecessary escalation. Please update us on the status urgently.

Thank you

Thank you for sharing your feedback.

We would like to clarify that Tripaneer conducts regular quality, safety, and compliance reviews for all organizers on our platform. When an account doesn't meet the required standards, or when there are repeated issues that negatively impact customer experience or platform integrity, we may decide to suspend or discontinue the partnership.

This decision is made independently of ownership structure, branding variations, or the existence of related entities. Each listing must meet our platform requirements in full. In this case, after a thorough internal assessment, we identified multiple concerns that didn't align with our guidelines, and therefore the account couldn't remain active.

While we understand the impact this may have, Tripaneer is under no obligation to maintain or reinstate accounts or listings that don't meet our terms and standards. For the protection of our customers and the reliability of the platform, this decision is final.

We appreciate your understanding.

Great Customer Service!

I had booked a trip through them but unfortunately the place I had booked ended up selling out at the same time I paid my deposit. When the place informed me, I reached out to Tripaneer customer service to refund my deposit which they did quickly (with me providing the proof of course) and were so understanding and helpful! They even gave me extra credit on top of my full refund to put towards a future trip which I will definitely be using soon! Great, friendly folks!

Thank you so much for the lovely review! We’re really glad we could help sort things out quickly for you, definitely not the experience we want you to have, but we’re happy everything was resolved smoothly. Thanks for sharing the proof right away, that really helped speed things up.

We’re excited for you to use your credit on a future trip, and we’ll be here if you need anything at all.

Safe travels and thanks again for the kind words!

Overall our experience has been… Warm, very social, excellent yoga

Overall our experience has been excellent.
5 stars for the atmosphere of welcome, the cleanliness of the rooms, the sense of community which includes group dinners sharing local food, and of course the yoga classes by Itta and Anna which were truly wonderful, and adaptable for all levels.
Just three personal suggestions for improvement would be:
1. to brighten the place up because first impression is that the venue is tired; a repaint of the gorgeous driveway mural, some bright or vibrant yoga pictures & colourful upholstery to lift the ambience.
2. An extra offering such as one meditation class and one massage in the package would raise the sense of value for money.
3. the yoga mats are also tired, hard and heavy.
Overall a wonderful experience and would recommend ☺️

We’re so glad you had a wonderful experience and would recommend us. Hope to welcome you again soon!

7 Day Yoga Retreat

7 Day Yoga, Culture Tour, Detox, Spa, and Self-awareness Wellness Retreat in Bali, Indonesia:

Overall, a great experience! This is a place for all people, of any age and any country to connect with themselves and each other. Everyone was super friendly, including staff and other visitors. The yoga sessions were instructed by 3/4 teachers on rotation, each giving you something different, which kept it interesting.

My first friendly face was Arkar, my driver. He was chatting away to me the entire car ride, but he was happy not to talk if you didn’t want to. I definitely recommend chatting though as I learned a lot about the culture through him and also asked him recommendations of places to go for my trip afterwards. Arkar truly went above and beyond for me, ensuring I was happy and continued to do so after my trip - so I’m very thankful.

All staff are incredible & friendly, and very accommodating! Whether you would like to drink from a coconut off of one of their trees, or you’d like to swap between detox meals and original meals each day - they are happy to do so. I do not like seafood & so when I explained this to them and suggested I take a detox meal on seafood nights, they were more than happy to simply give me chicken everyday instead.
You could also pass on any of the daily activities or yoga if you did not feel up for it - no questions asked.

I do want to highlight that not everybody will be on the same schedule as you - I was not expecting this. I had assumed that my tours would be with a group & as a solo traveller, I was excited to make friends this way. Each visitor has signed up for a different amount of days; some 4 days, some 7 days, some 14 days & some 30 days, etc., meaning their activities will not always align with yours and you may do some activities alone. However, some days your activities will align & you get to do this with the people you will naturally befriend at breakfast, lunch & dinner or at yoga each day.

I met some amazing people from all different countries; Australia, New Zealand, Italy, France, Saudi Arabia, USA. And it was fascinating conversing with them & learning so much about each place, & finding out how much we each had in common as well.

I’m very thankful for the staff for my experience and their welcoming friendly faces :)

Fantastic service

Although unfortunately the yoga retreat did not go ahead my experience was first class.
I was given options and £50 to spend on another experience.
Although I opted for a refund this was done quickly and without hassle.
I was kept fully informed regarding the process.

I decided to go to Bali for 5 days…

I decided to go to Bali for 5 days before my friends arrived. I booked the Saturday before arriving Thursday.
As I was Solo and not really interested in having a 24/7 party holiday, I went looking to something that was all inclusive stress free and comfortable. I chose detox and yoga to help with lifestyle choices when I return home. Brilliant 5 days.

Terrible

Terrible! Will definitely never book anything again with them.
They canceled the retreat, because there were no people, said I would get my money back.
Never got my money back!!!
So I really would advise you not booking with them.

Hi Anna. We're sorry to hear about your experience and appreciate the chance to clarify. The retreat you booked was confirmed to go ahead as planned and didn't require a minimum number of participants, so it wasn't canceled by the organizer. Your booking was canceled from your side, due to personal preference, which is why the deposit was non-refundable under the agreed terms.

However, when your cancellation was processed, we issued a Store Credit for the full deposit amount as a goodwill gesture. It's valid for one year and can be used toward any future retreat on our platform.

For your next trip, if you'd prefer a group experience to ensure company, our team or the organizer will be happy to help you find the right option before booking. We completely understand your disappointment and truly hope your next experience with us will be a positive one.

Your deposit is their commission.

I booked 2 retreats with them.
I ran into an issue with a provider and they have been totally unable to help. They said they'd but they did absolutely nothing at all. I had to sort it out by myself.
Also, the deposit you pay is the commission they take, nothing of your deposit goes to the provider.
So the only thing they do is to list retreats, because you don't even pay them for a service! When I had a problem with the 1st one, I had to pay on top of the retreat fee for admin fees. Of course, they didn't help with that neither.
Take the provider's name, book it directly with them. You'll save money. It doesn't make a difference for the teachers.

Hi Sido, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We've already reached out directly to better understand your experience, but without any booking details, we haven't been able to locate or verify the situation you've described. We'd still be happy to review it if you'd like to provide that information to service@tripaneer.com.

Tripaneer is a marketplace platform that connects travelers with verified retreat organizers worldwide. We invest heavily in account support, marketing, advertising, content management, customer service, and other dedicated tools so that organizers can focus on delivering high-quality experiences.

Our commission structure is an agreement between Tripaneer and each organizer who has chosen to use our services - it does not increase the price for customers. The rates you see on our site will match the organizer's own listed prices.

All terms and conditions, including the cancellation policy, are displayed clearly before booking. Our team remains available to assist with any issues, but exceptions to those terms can only be made by the organizer, who manages and delivers the retreat. Booking through Tripaneer provides transparency, secure payment handling, and mediation support throughout the process.

We appreciate your feedback and the opportunity to keep improving the experience for both travelers and organizers.

Bargain retreat

When we booked, I was worried because the price was so good, but it was amazing. The hotel was stunning. All food provided. The Yoga instructors were great. I am a very experienced Yogi and they adapted to challenge myself and also accommodate the others that were less experienced. You can pick and choose which and how many classes you would like to do a day so if you feel like relaxing there’s no pressure. Hot and cold spa’s, sauna, steam room, gym and an stunning view

Best Surf Lodge Experience , Can’t Wait to Return!

I had the most wonderful stay at Harmony Surf Lodge, and I cannot recommend it enough. From start to finish, everything was handled with such care and attention. Celine, our host, was absolutely amazing, she made sure every detail was perfect, and her warmth and kindness made us feel right at home.

As a vegetarian, I was especially touched by the effort the chef Abdrahim, put into preparing meals for me. He created the most delicious vegetarian tagines, full of flavor. it really made my experience unforgettable.
The surfing lessons were another highlight. Both Sarah and Hassan were incredible teachers. They were patient, encouraging, and truly skilled at helping beginners feel confident in the water. Thanks to them, I not only learned to surf but also had so much fun doing it.

The combination of a welcoming atmosphere, thoughtful care, delicious food, and fantastic surf lessons made this trip absolutely perfect. I left feeling relaxed, happy, and already looking forward to coming back.

Why and why not to come to Om Nirvana

Why and why not to come to Om Nirvana

For me it’s the third time spending a longer amount of time (couple weeks) in a yoga school and it’s definitely the best.

The school is located in very calm sourroundings in the Himalayan mountains, I had an incredible view from my room.

The owner is a very caring and kind person and at the same time a very skilled and knowledgeable teacher. I will miss his power Vinyasa & Ashtanga classes 💛
Due to his experience he knows what’s going wrong in other schools and tries to fix those problems here which makes a unique experience.

Many Yoga schools exist to have a business. This one is about sharing knowledge and living the yogic lifestyle.

So if you’re looking for a fast or cheap way to get your ytt certificate don’t come here. If you want to earn it, this is the place to be❤️

Also: Food here is amazing 😍

This retreat was truly an unforgettable…

This retreat was truly an unforgettable experience! The staff were incredibly friendly, and I loved meeting so many like-minded people. The instructors were professional, knowledgeable, and brought such great energy to every class—starting the day with a morning yoga flow and ending with evening yin or restorative yoga was the perfect balance.

The yoga shala itself is breathtaking—practicing with that stunning view never got old. The massages offered were excellent, and having access to a spectacular private bay beach (that felt like something straight out of a movie) made the stay even more special.

The food was delicious and diverse, nourishing in every way. From the thoughtful design of the space to the calming atmosphere, every detail felt intentional and inspiring. It was also wonderful that other activities could be arranged directly through the retreat, and the airport pick-up and drop-off service made everything so easy and stress-free.

I left feeling completely recharged and grateful for the experience. Highly recommend this retreat to anyone seeking peace, connection, and a beautiful environment to practice yoga. 🌿✨
