As a tour operator
As a tour operator, I’ve had a great experience working with the team. A special thanks to Natasha, who has been extremely interactive, always available, and very quick in her responses. She made the whole process smooth and efficient. I truly appreciate the professionalism and support from the entire team. Thank you for everything!

BOOK at your OWN risk!
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!

Hi Le. Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear about your experience, and we understand how frustrating it must have been to face a change so close to your planned travel date.
While cancellations by organizers are rare, they can happen for reasons outside anyone’s control (such as overbookings, operational issues, or unforeseen circumstances).
A single cancellation does not automatically remove an organizer from our platform. However, when an organizer cancellation occurs, we treat it promptly and seriously: a full refund is always provided, and we often offer a goodwill voucher as an additional gesture, even though the situation is not caused by us directly. The voucher is not meant to minimize the issue, but to acknowledge the disruption and invite you to give us another chance.
Tripaneer is a marketplace platform. We invest heavily in marketing, advertising, content structure, customer support and other dedicated services so that organizers can focus on delivering experiences. We do charge commission for these services, but the 30% figure mentioned is not our standard rate. Our commission structure is an agreement between us and the organizers who have willingly chosen to avail our services, and it does not impact the price customers pay, which must match the organizer’s own listed rates.
We hope this clarifies some misunderstandings and shows that we are committed to assisting and resolving issues promptly and fairly.
I’m a host on Tripaneer
I’m a host on Tripaneer, and if you're thinking about working with them or booking a retreat through their platform — avoid it.
They take a massive 30% commission, and over the years their service has gone downhill. Recently, we had a guest book through BookRetreats, and we already paid the commission there. But Tripaneer still demanded their own commission, claiming the booking was theirs. We explained the situation and provided proof, but they didn’t even bother reading the message — instead, they just issued a new invoice. So now we’re expected to pay 60% commission on one booking. Sounds like a joke, but sadly, this is how they operate.
Even after contacting their support and explaining again, their supervisor still didn’t understand what was going on. At that point, we decided to cut ties. This Dutch company clearly cares only about collecting commission, not supporting hosts or guests.
Worse still — if a guest cancels after paying the deposit, Tripaneer keeps the 30% and the host receives nothing. That’s not just unfair, it’s borderline illegal.
Their customer service is non-existent. It takes them days to respond or approve simple requests like blocking dates. They force you to communicate with guests their way, adding unnecessary stress and confusion. The whole system is a mess and gives hosts constant headaches.
If you care about fairness, transparency, or basic professionalism — stay far away from Tripaneer.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, Ariel. We're genuinely sorry to hear that things didn't meet your expectations, and we understand your frustration.
We'd like to offer some clarification to ensure everything is transparent:
The booking in question was processed through our platform. While we understand there may have been parallel listing activity, we requested timestamped proof to help verify the source of the original lead. As this wasn't provided, we followed our usual review process to determine commission eligibility as fairly as possible, based on the information available.
Regarding the commission rate: the percentage mentioned isn't part of our base commission structure. We offer flexibility for organizers to enhance their listing visibility or promotion strategy, which may affect commission depending on selected features. These settings can be managed directly within your dashboard.
We're sorry you felt unsupported during the process. We strive to be as responsive and helpful as possible, though we acknowledge delays can occasionally happen during busier periods. Your feedback is important to us, and we'll review this internally to see where we can do better.
We truly value the work of retreat hosts like yourself and appreciate the opportunity to collaborate in the past. If you're open to it, we'd love the chance to reconnect and explore ways to make the partnership work better going forward.
Wishing you all the best with your upcoming retreats.

Ayahuasca Retreat
I spontaneously became interested in an Ayahuasca retreat and ultimately decided to go for it.
Through Tripaneer, I came across a retreat in Malaga that appealed to me the most in terms of value for money and what was included in the price.
In the end, my expectations were exceeded — it was one of the most, if not the most, valuable experiences of my entire life.
So I want to thank not only Tripaneer, who essentially got the ball rolling, but also the truly wonderful and professional Ayahuasca team in Malaga. I would book with them again anytime and wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone.
Thank you and much love.

Scam! Boxing camp did not exist at all
I was the victim of scam.
I have booked a boxing camp - but at arrival, there was none.
I have booked a boxing cam with
"Coach Mitchell", who was supposed to coach "6 Days" in English in a grozp of at least 10 people.
When I have arrived, I have found that I was the victim of a scam: There was no group, there was no coach, nothing. The hotel I was in had a boxing ring, that's it.
My requests for a compensation remained unanswered.

What I like about this trip
What I like about this trip, is that during my search and booking, everything was very clear and delivered in a way that covered all the important information, such as the package of the retreat, accommodation, means of transport, food, and additional activities. I also liked how there was information about the yoga instructors, letting travellers get acquainted beforehand. For people that experience anxiety when travelling, or even people who are detail-oriented in their travel planning, it can be very helpful.
