What a price below the band actually means
Below roughly $130 per day, something has been removed. In order of likelihood: the private room becomes a shared dorm, meals drop from three to one, the group grows past sixteen, the teacher is unpaid and working for accommodation, or transfers and excursions are billed separately once you arrive.
What the price should include
- A private room, with no single supplement. If a supplement exists it should be stated on the page, not discovered at checkout.
- All meals, with dietary requirements handled rather than tolerated.
- Daily practice with a named, qualified teacher.
- Airport transfers both ways, with a licensed driver.
- A 24/7 local emergency contact for the duration.
What is usually extra, legitimately
- Flights, always.
- Travel insurance, which any competent host will require.
- Massage and one-to-one treatments, typically $40–90 in Asia and $90–160 in Europe.
- Alcohol, where it is served at all.
