Reviews

by our Better Neighbors

  • Fabienne | Germany

    I spent last June with the better neighbors in Sinaia, Romania, and it turned out to be one of the most uplifting experiences of my year. The group was warm and open, the perfect size to really connect, and everyone shared something personal through workshops, talks, or fun activities. It created a feeling of togetherness that I didn’t expect but deeply appreciated. Sinaia itself was the ideal setting, a peaceful mountain town surrounded by nature where it’s easy to relax, breathe, and slow down. Having free access to the amenities of a four-star hotel, from the indoor pool to the sauna and gym, added this gentle touch of comfort that made the days feel even more special. What truly made the experience stand out was how kind and supportive the team was. You could turn to them with anything and they always met you with genuine warmth. In the end, the retreat gave me so much more than I imagined, not only in terms of value but in inspiration, connection, and emotional recharge. I left with a full heart and would recommend the experience to anyone who needs a mix of community, calm, and nature.

  • Beverly | Taiwan

    I had a very pleasant experience. I really enjoyed the fun and relaxing activities, such as yoga, urban hikes, sound healing, and body balance workshops. I also loved the trips they organized—visiting the bear sanctuary to learn about bear abuse and exploring the castles were definite highlights.

  • Daniel Duma | Romania & Spain

    I had an incredible time in a stunningly beautiful place. The experience was incredibly grounding, very relaxing yet surprisingly productive! The highlight was definitely feeling part of a wonderful community. The nature activities were amazing, but sharing them with such warm people made them unforgettable. It was the ideal blend of productivity and enjoying the outdoors.

  • Michael | Guatemala

    It was an amazing experience where the group of people was great. We had a wonderful time exploring Sinaia, attending the workshops, building a small community and enjoying everyone’s company. Especially the artists and their inclusion is a very enriching experience and worth your while. The people from Better Neighbors and Hotel Sinaia were very helpful when we had some trouble, for example: we needed to receive some packages and had no problems at all. I would wholeheartedly recommend this experience to anyone who is willing.

  • Emily | Taiwan

    It was an unexpectedly amazing experience meeting artists and digital nomads from around the world and exploring a new country together. I’d definitely recommend it if you’ve never had the chance.
