BookYogaRetreats made it very simple to find the perfect Yoga TTC for me in India. I could narrow my search to exactly what I was looking for. It was also very easy to contact the yoga center with inquriies and to reserve my space.
Simple efficient and trustworthy site. The booking was easy and the site is easy to understand and use.
All team was fantastic!
All care to me as a family
They are very good professionals and they made me feel as I was in my house
The apartment very clean and pretty.
The place to do yoga was fantastic
The equipment for playing surf were clean, and dry...
I can't tell nothing bad.
The best is the team.

Your website is clear, clutter free, and most importantly effective. Easy to use and easily connects directly to the individual retreats website so much more detail may be obtained.
Greatfully,
John

I am very satisfied booking at bookyogaretreat. Not only they are good on what they do but also because they are helpful, I had some issue with my visa to go to India because I could only apply 2weeks prior departure (it took 10 days for my visa to be released) and its up to two weeks prior departure for the cancellation but bookyogaretreat.com was there for me all the way.
Many thanks to your team.
Hi there Ailene,

I just booked my first retreat.
I would ask of the site that they match my area code or state to the retreats being offered.
I am not in the market to jet set to India... quite yet!
Thanks!
Dear Jennifer,
Thank you so much for your review and feedback! I have shared your idea with our developers to see if they can add this feature to our platform as it sounds like a great thing to have.
We're always ready to help you find your next yoga experience, whether you choose India or somewhere closer to home;-)

I absolutely hate this company. We are a Yoga Retreat "organizer", and have started using this website this year. They claim to offer host support and marketing in exchange for their 14% commission.
After 6 months, this company continually fails and disappoints.
-when my guests pay their deposit of 50%, this company processes the payment, minus their 14% of total price. (ie from a 1000 deposit, they take 280). The money is then deposited to our account in Euros, not our currency we request. After this THEY OFFER 0 SERVICE. I have to PayPal request the remaining balance myself, and they piss off after having taken their percentage By the time I use an alternate payment platform, I end up paying up to 26% of each booking for fees and currency conversions because BYR is inadequate.
-we were assigned an account manager, ROSARIO DABLEO, who is Phillipino and barely speaks English, doesn't practice or know yoga. When I asked for a new account manager, I was refused and told that I had no choice, even though I literally can't communicate with the person taking 14% of every booking.
-this website doesn't share my customer info with me. Even after a confirmed booking, they don't give me my customer email, phone, nothing. All I get is their name and date of arrival?!
-the website is so out of date we literally lose bookings because our guests can't complete their booking or registration due to the website
-when we offered a special deal to be featured in their Newsletter or Facebook, we were told the next available slot for promotion features was NEXT YEAR. But they still take 14% now, for what?
This company has poorly trained support staff and an old out of date website. They dont give a $#*! about the yoga students or instructors, they just want 14% of the 5 billion annual wellness industry. Dogs.
Dear Jala Jesse,
Thank you for taking the time to share your concerns with us.
As a company, we highly value transparency and we appreciate all feedback so we would like to use this opportunity to address yours.
In particular, we were most disappointed to read of your comments about our very valued team member. Every member of the BookYogaRetreats team is extremely dedicated to their job and committed to providing fabulous service to both yoga retreat organizers and to customers who book their retreats via our platform.
Partner organizers that join our platform and promote their retreats are able to reap the benefits of increasing their visibility online. Hence, they are able to reach new potential customers worldwide who they may not otherwise have been able to reach.
Also, we would like to clarify, that every booking confirmation email comes with the contact details provided by the customer when sending the inquiry or reservation request.
While we are sorry to hear you have not been satisfied with your experience as a partner, it is important to us that we always remain professional and true to our values so we can continue to work towards enriching the lives of people with unique travel experiences.
We wish you the best of luck with your business in the future.
On behalf of the BYR team,
Natasha,

I had an amazing experience on The Five Elements yoga retreat in Rovinj. Both Natali and Marin were wonderful teachers and hosts nothing was too much trouble, true yogis who teach from the heart. From the minute you arrive you are transported to a different space, their home is your home, the adventures are fun, challenging and just fantastic. Iskra's food is healthy and delicious, Marin's 5 elements meditations were inspiring and rekindled my passion for the peace and joy this practice brings. Natali's yoga was challenging taking you out of your comfort zone, you feel amazing after. Be sure to have one of Natali's full body massages a real treat! All in all a magical experience with lots of learning, fun and laughter(food for the soul) together with wonderful like minded people. I can't wait to come back, thanks to all who helped to make this experience so special X Gwynne
Dear Gwynne,

Many of our bookings come via Book Yoga Retreats. We have a wonderful account manager, Maria, and have always had pleasant, open communications with the team there.
They have taken in to account most of our needs and have updated aspects of their system accordingly.
We would prefer to have the invoicing on a monthly basis - rather than per individual booking - but we're happy with our partnership.
Dearest Namit,
Thank you for your nice review and positive feedback! It's been a pleasure to work with you and Maru all these years:-)
We hear you loud and clear regarding monthly invoicing. I've escalated this feedback to our finance team, and while I can't make any promises, I am happy to relay the message. Surely Maria will let you know as soon as there are any updates.
Best regards,

Very nice website giving you the possibility to find YOUR yoga retreat. Through the filters you can find what and where you want it: all styles of yoga, locations all over the world, extras like wellness, detox, raw food, ladies weeks, healing etc. Also the booking functions are great since they get you in contact directly with the host/hotel/retreat. But since it stays on the site reminders and alerts are included. Can be very useful!
Hi there Louisa,
Thanks for your positive review and comments! We are truly glad you enjoyed using our platform and found the right retreat for you with the help of our filters;-) Looking forward to your next yoga retreat!
