I recently returned for another wonderful stay at Kripalu, in an R&R stay. My room as expected was…read moreclean and comfortable. I booked two services in the healing arts a Therapeutic Massage and a Chinese Astrology reading. My masseuse was wonderful at helping my begin the process of releasing all the tense muscles in my lower back and neck after a recent flare up of my chronic pain condition due to an existing spinal injury. They were careful and checked in with my along the way about pressure and comfort in the process. I felt very comfortable throughout and though I left sore (which I expect when working out the tense muscles after a flare) I felt more functional and saw a decrease in movement pain shortly after. I have had encounters with the astrologer on staff in my past visits to Kripalu once in leading a workshop on Chinese Astrology and another on a shamanic full moon ceremony. I felt that the reading and insight Beth provided was very accurate to what has framed me in my life where I've been and a bit of where I'm going. I would definitely recommend adding on a few things if time and budget allows. They truly made the experience better. As always, the food was exceptional and I found plenty of options in the schedule for movement practices, new learning opportunities as well as plenty of cozy corners and spaces to relax and do what feels best for you. They have plenty of options for books, games and puzzles to entertain you. I am also a huge fan of walking through their onsite store and left with a few new goodies to commemorate the trip. I am forever grateful for to Kripalu and their staff after every visit for always leaving feeling like I've been taken care of for a few days. I cannot wait for my next trip out.

Kripalu's booking website is glitchy and it double-charged me for a one-night stay -- meaning it…read morecharged me twice for one night in one room. When you call in to fix booking issues, you're sent to a robot. So I kept calling until I reached a human. He acknowledged the error and told me to wait a few days and the charge would disappear from my card. When the charge was still on my card after a few days, I emailed reservations @ kripalu to explain what was going on. No response. The extra $400 is still on my card and I don't know what to do. This is the worst customer service I've ever experience from any hotel-like place! Plus, side note: many of their rooms do not have a/c, even in the blazing 95-degree summer. The Berkshires are lovely, but if you go there, stay somewhere else!
