BookYogaRetreats by Tripaneer Reviews 

I used this site for the first time to find a healthy vacation and it helped me to find the best one

I am a huge fan of BookYogaRetreats!
I’ve already booked three trips through them — first in Portugal and then in the UK — and every experience has been wonderful. The retreats themselves were excellent, and the BYR customer service was outstanding: efficient, responsive, and supportive from the moment of booking all the way until the journey back home. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a seamless and inspiring yoga retreat experience!

Excellent company, lots of yoga options, great communication and site is very easy to use. Highly recommend 4 Day Glamping Yoga Retreat in the Lake District National Park, it was amazing.

I booked a yoga retreat through their site and paid a deposit. Before paying, luckily I confirmed again everything in writing. Eight days before arrival, the resort suddenly told me they had “just booked up all their rooms” and they no longer had space for me (!!!!) and wanted to send me to a derelict, isolated place on the other side of the island — while still charging the same premium price for the accommodation I had originally booked.

When I refused and escalated to Tripaneer, their stance was disturbingly neutral, as if it was perfectly acceptable for a resort to cancel and leave guests stranded days before their holiday. Only when I threatened to report them to the Dutch regulator did they react. They refunded my deposit and offered a €50 pity-voucher — which I’ve since learned by reading the reviews, that its their standard way of brushing people off.
This is not a one-off. The organiser I booked with was clearly luring clients with photos of a nice hotel on a nice beach, then downgrading them last minute to much cheaper properties. Tripaneer knew this (after my incident at least), yet decided to continue working with them - they still advertise their programmes. That in itself shows the duty of care of Tripaneer to their clients is zero.

For anyone considering them: Book directly with hotels or retreat centres. In most cases you will find better deals anyway and you will always be protected by your credit card (more reliable safety net that Tripaneer, remember you can always ask for a chargeback long after the transaction).
Incidentally, I am also finding out from owners’ reviews that Tripaneer keeps 30% (30!!!) commission. What a rip-off for them but what a rip-off for the unfortunate clients too. Tripaneer still makes money when the client uses the €50 pity voucher. There is zero ethos on this.

The biggest issue is Tripanner's purpose: They vet no properties, they don’t ensure standards, they don’t protect their clients, and they exercise no leverage over dishonest resorts or organisers — even when it’s clear they could intervene and resolve matters fairly. So what exactly is their purpose as a company besides getting a third of the price?
they are simply an aggregator taking a commission. In that case, they should say so clearly on their website so customers know they are booking entirely at their own risk. And oh, that they do!

Good platform to find the perfect retreat, mine was a dream-match!

Amazing yoga classes, lovely hikes, good food and a fabulous location!

That yoga retreat has been amazing.Good instructors, good food and the place is located in a gorgeous village

Prompt and very nice answer to my request.

The setting is beyond beautiful, the food, the accommodations, the instructors, all first class. So many activities, spots to relax, always someone to talk to. Can’t recommend it enough!

I have booked two yoga retreats through this platform so far, and both have been truly wonderful experiences. The information provided is clear, comprehensive, and reliable. The booking process is seamless, and communication with the organizers is easy and efficient. Payment is handled smoothly and without any issues. I highly value the professionalism and quality of service offered.

Yoga workshop and travel exceeding expectations!

The personal attention with yoga, the diverse hikes, the food, the accommodation and host were all great.

Just returned from a 5 night retreat in Spain and it has been a fabulous experience.

Superb! Federico's yoga instruction was outstanding, Riccardo's admin was excellent. The accommodation was simple and rustic and very clean. Accommodation staff and volunteers very friendly and helpful. Food was delicious. Location was perfect and activities well organised and thought-out. Thoroughly recommend 108 Yoga Retreats!

All the employees from the retreat center were friendly, always kind and polite to provide information. Knowledge and keen to help.
I had some difficulty and couldn't attend, but I will make this trip for sure.

It was easy to communicate with both the yoga providers and the staff at Book Yoga Retreats. They were very kind and helpful.

Excellent service, extremely helpful and responsive to all my queries, even when I had to change plans at the last minute. Highly recommend going through book yoga retreats

This was an amazing, unbeatable experience. I went solo, have never been on a yoga retreat, and I stayed in the shared room. The workshops and yoga were really amazing. The house was beautiful, it was in the perfect location, the food was amazing and all meals/snacks were included. Being a local, you can't beat a stay in a house like this on Tybee, with all of your food cooked by a chef, and yoga/other workshops of this level included for a price like this.
On a spiritual level, it changed my life. It was easy because I was immediately comfortable with the other guests and with Angela, the hostess with the mostest! But, the amazing energy is hard to explain. You had to be there!

Such a great place to unwind and recharge.

Food is excellent. Facilities clean. The staff is always there to help out. The placé is set up so the community of travellers can exchange easily. Already thinking of coming back next year.

I had a real problem paying the journey via the platform with 3 different credit cards. I then sent a message online to get help and almost at the minute I had someone from the client service to help me. Very servable and efficient. Thanks team!
