I spent 30days in Ho Chi Minh City - district 7 @ SSG
I spent 30days in Ho Chi Minh City in district 7, my Luxury apartment was right next to my training ground @ SSG Gym, probably the most facilitating gym I’ve been in including personal training for Boxing, Muay Thai, MMA & CrossFit! This place has everything you can imagine including cages, rings, running track and vast equipment as well as a free weight gym with sauna and ice baths not forgetting a gym bar and shop!
During my time there I had a Host named Tai who was there in the hotel and just on the end of the phone for anything I may need. He was very helpful, professional, accurate and prompt with responses and faciltated any of my needs even down to transportation when travelling through different districts!
His work ethic was very humble and appreciated for everything I asked from him, it really does make things a lot quicker when you have a host like Tai who has good knowledge of the local community and connections taking on all the paper work for you so you can just crack on like I did with my gym and boxing!
Lastly to finish off my long duration there he brought me some gifts for myself and girls including the boxing gloves I had to train with and a nice SSG logo bag which was very much appreciated!
I’m impressed Tai, I show my gratitude for your relentless support and hospitality!
Thanks Bro 🙏🏽

ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE. They will rob you blind!
Had a horrific time at the Spiritual Sacred Medicine Retreat hosted by Shaman Lizzy. On the first day, I took a microdose that gave me a near-anxiety attack. I decided this was not for me and said I'd be leaving early. They refused to refund anything except the deposit, meaning it cost me $1,535 for an awful microdose. That is outrageous. I didn't even stay 24 hrs and hardly ate any food. Lizzy refused to even come out of her bedroom (where she spent most of her time) to explain anything. Zero compassion. 110% greed. Her assistant watched me like a hawk as I left. I was made to feel like a criminal for not believing in the hype. Really unprofessional. They had no protocols in place for someone who might have a bad reaction. They just dismissed you. The house had a haphazard look, like a college dorm decorated for a quick party, complete with a nasty fridge. Food was nothing like the pics; it was randomly ordered takeout, and participants were not consulted. Temp was freezing at night. Unorganized regimen, inattentive host, complete nonsense. They put out culty vibes from the start, going on and on about how DMT was the miracle cure for everything wrong in one's life and how amazing and special Lizzy was, etc. They were selling it so hard that I now wonder if the drug was the real thing. Recalled to me the effect of taking bad Molly once. The Host, her partner, and the Assistant all had the slimy air of being two-faced evangelists for salvation. Yuck. They have no business dispensing "sacred medicine" of any type. Shame on BookRetreats for enabling scammers and conspiring to rob people who come with open hearts. They claim to care about your experience, but they'll steal your money without hesitation. Also, because my stay was marked as "cancelled," there's no option for me to put up a review on their site. Talk about deceitful! That's why you only see great reviews; it's all manipulated. In short: the worst retreat/vaca of my entire life.
ADDENDUM: The business's response is a total cover-up. They admit: "sacred medicine ceremonies can be incredibly intense, and we understand they are not the right fit for everyone." However, they also say: "you sat down together with her assistant and agreed on the departure terms." Except they gave me papers to sign while I was still feeling woozy from their drug! If a business has given you a psychedelic, then they should not be taking advantage of the person's impaired state. Again, they said it can be "intense." They admit it! They admit they gave me something that's mind-altering. So then how is it okay for the business to pressure me to sign papers while I'm in an altered state??? Frankly, I don't know what was in the stuff they gave me. No one will ever know, since there's no regulatory body, and nothing's been tested. It could well be something that makes it easier for them to manipulate you.

Hi Joseph,
Thank you for sharing your perspective. Deep transformational work and sacred medicine ceremonies can be incredibly intense, and we understand they are not the right fit for everyone. At the same time, we take the safety of our guests very seriously, and we want to reassure future travelers that this host maintains a structured environment and follows established safety protocols.
The host has confirmed that when you chose to leave early, you sat down together with her assistant and agreed on the departure terms. While the booking agreement you signed states the retreat payment is non-refundable, the host wanted to support you and made an exception to refund your deposit, which we processed immediately.
We'd also like to clarify what happened regarding the review: Our system automatically sends a review invitation three days after a retreat has ended. However, because your booking was canceled after your early departure, that automated follow-up was also canceled. The review that you were able to leave since then is currently in our system for processing.
We truly wish you all the best on your continued wellness journey.
Much love,
Laura

Perfect until you have paid and then…
Perfect until you have paid and then communication dismal and service non existent. As far as I can tell they do not personally vet the experiences on the site to make sure they match the experience on offer. So, you have been warned! If you find an experience you want to do, research it independently before you book it. I won’t book with them again.

Hi Jane,
Thanks for taking the time to share your experience. We apologize for the missed email - we dropped the ball on that one but I'm glad we could continue to discuss your situation with you afterwards.
As discussed, we do carefully review every retreat and vet our hosts before their offerings are featured on BookRetreats. We have confirmed that everything offered on the listing was made available on the retreat, but each one is independently run by the host and sometimes a retreat simply isn't the right fit for what a guest is looking for.
If an issue does arise, we always encourage guests to speak with their host directly during the retreat. Hosts are usually eager to adjust things to make you comfortable whenever possible.
We're sorry that you were left disappointed by your experience. We have shared all of your feedback with the host to take onboard. And we'd really love the opportunity to both earn back your trust and help you find a retreat that's a much better fit in the future. Just let us know and we'd be happy to help.
Many Blessings,
Amanda
