Sakae I.

I booked at 5 day Ayurvedic cooking / yoga retreat with Renuatum Spa in Puerto Rico. Many things that were promised were not provided. There were no cooking classes,
There were only two meals per day as opposed to three advertised, and the accommodations that were described as "luxury" were not.

After returning from the retreat, I wrote a review giving zero stars and I know at least 3 other retreaters wrote reviews describing their experience as being poor. Unfortunately, I know two out of three did not book through bookyogaretreats so their reviews were not published. In spite of my zero star review, info of bad experiences with two other people and a phone call with another retreater, BYR still gives Renuatam Spa an excellent rating. They only have 9 ratings so mine should have had some sort of impact but it didn't.

I don't think I'll book through BYR ever again since I cannot trust their ratings. I will always look to TripAdvisor or other sites for reviews of any retreat that I consider in the future.
