How Retree works

For travelers

1. 1
   Browse verified retreats

   Every listing you see is from an operator who passed our vetting process — look for the “✓ Verified” badge.
2. 2
   Book and pay securely

   Reserve your spot, then pay through Stripe. Your funds are held by Retree, not sent to the operator immediately.
3. 3
   Attend your retreat

   Message your operator directly through Retree with any questions before you go.
4. 4
   Leave a review

   Once your booking is marked complete, you can review the retreat to help other travelers.

What “verified” means

Before an operator can publish a listing, they submit a business application — including business verification and insurance documentation — which our team reviews by hand. Only approved operators can list. A verified badge means an operator passed that process; it isn't a guarantee of any specific retreat's outcome, which is why we also hold payment until after the retreat and back every booking with a clear cancellation policy.

For operators

1. 1
   Apply and get vetted

   Submit your business details and insurance documentation for review.
2. 2
   List your retreat

   Fixed departures or an open calendar — whichever fits how you run your retreats.
3. 3
   Get bookings, get paid

   Travelers pay upfront through Stripe; funds are transferred to you after each retreat completes.
