Booking process was straightforward. The only thing I wasn’t sure about was how to make my booking for a specific number of days (flexibility was mentioned).

I'd say great but I haven't been on the trip yet. The booking and navigation were great. Very easy to use and it looks like they give a hoot about their customer base. Like I said...so far.

Hi Ilana,

Thank you for sharing your feedback, and we're truly sorry for the confusion surrounding your booking.

To help clarify, while your original host had kindly offered to move your booking to a later date, your new reservation was made with an entirely different host. Because hosts operate independently, we unfortunately couldn't transfer payments between the two separate retreats.

As soon as our team became aware of the mix-up, we stepped in to guide you through the available options and assist with the cancellation and transfer process. We always encourage guests to reach out to us before making a new reservation so we can help navigate these kinds of changes smoothly.

We would still love to help you find the perfect getaway. If you’re open to it, please feel free to reach out to our support team directly, and we’ll gladly help you explore the beautiful retreats available on our site.

Many Blessings,
Amanda

I've been asking via chat and also via email for someone to CONFIRM the dates/days of this experience and I'm not getting an answer.
I see now that this is a USA company and hence why it's likely causing the issue.
The dates are May 22 and 23rd which is a Fri/Sat, yet the agenda is Sat/Sun which is May 23/24th.
Will not proceed with booking until I get an answer.

Hi Linda,

Thank you for sharing your experience. We're sorry for the confusion surrounding the retreat dates and understand why this was frustrating.

After your concern was raised, our team contacted the host to clarify the schedule. Unfortunately, the information provided did not fully resolve the discrepancy, so the retreat was subsequently removed from our platform while further clarification was sought.

As we never want guests to feel uncertain about a booking, our team also assisted with your cancellation request and provided a voucher for future travel.

We appreciate you bringing this to our attention. Accurate and transparent retreat information is important to us, and when concerns cannot be satisfactorily resolved, we take action to help protect our guests.

Kind regards,
