Like the Better Business Bureau — But for Ayahuasca Retreats
Best Retreats is the only independent directory that tracks the full story behind every ayahuasca retreat center—good, bad, or sketchy.
We don’t sell bookings. We don’t post fake reviews. We don’t take sides. We just publish everything we find so you can decide for yourself.
🔍 Who It’s For
If you’re asking…
- “How do I know which ayahuasca retreats are actually safe?”
- “Can I trust all the 5-star reviews online?”
- “Where can I find real info on risks, red flags, and guest experiences?”
You’re in the right place. Best Retreats helps seekers cut through the racket and find grounded, research-backed answers.
🧠 Why Best Retreats Exists
The ayahuasca space is full of noise:
- Reddit threads flooded with self-promotion
- Review platforms where every retreat miraculously has 5 stars
- Booking sites that profit when you book fast, not wisely
We built Best Retreats to do the opposite.
We catalog every known retreat—not just the polished ones—and surface the raw signals that actually matter for your safety and experience.
🚨 What Makes Us Different
We don’t just list retreats. We investigate them.
Every retreat listing includes:
- 🚩 Incident Reports: Based on verified data from Reddit, Quora, Facebook groups, ICEERS, forums, and news sources
- 💬 Guests Say: Common guest feedback themes based on real sentiment
- 🔍 Critical Notes: Contextual research, red flags, and operational insights
- 📊 Aggregated Ratings: Google, Tripadvisor, & Retreat Guru scores, displayed for context—not trust
- 🧠 Social Listening Engine: Our tool tracks online discussions and surfaces reputation risks in real time
- 📢 Report Tool: Visitors can anonymously flag retreats with safety concerns
🧭 What We’re Not
- ❌ Not a booking site
- ❌ Not a review platform
- ❌ Not pay-to-play
- ❌ No affiliate commissions
- ❌ No review manipulation
We don’t profit from which retreat you choose. We just want you to choose with eyes open.
