Short answers to what people ask us most. If yours isn’t here, write to hello@holisticcroatia.com and we will add it.
Using the site
Is Holistic Croatia free to use?
Yes, completely. Browsing needs no account and there is nothing to subscribe to. We take no commission on anything you arrange with a venue, and listing a business is free as well.
How do you decide which places get listed?
Every entry starts from public sources — the venue’s own website, official registries and Google Places — and is then checked by hand: category, address, contact, opening hours, and whether the place is still operating. We list practices with a plausible physiological or psychological mechanism: bodywork, movement, nutrition, licensed therapy, thermal and spa treatment. Reiki and bioenergy, crystal healing, astrology and tarot, shamanic ceremonies, homeopathy and Bach remedies, applied kinesiology and family constellations are not listed.
How current is the information?
Details are re-checked against public sources and owner updates, and a venue that has closed is removed rather than left standing. Even so, a place can change its hours the week after we check. If you find something out of date, write to support@holisticcroatia.com and we will correct it.
Why can’t I find a place I know exists?
Usually one of three reasons: it has not been added yet, it is listed under a different trading name or town than the one you searched, or it falls outside what this directory covers. If it should be here, send us the name and town at hello@holisticcroatia.com.
Can I book or pay through the site?
No. We publish information about places; we are not a party to anything you arrange with them, and we do not take bookings, hold payments or act as an agent. Every listing carries the venue’s own phone, website and address so you can contact them directly.
For business owners
How do I add my business?
Use the “Add your listing” link in the site footer, or write to hello@holisticcroatia.com with the business name, address and website. Adding a business is free and there is no contract to sign.
A listing for my business already exists — how do I claim it?
Open the listing and use “Is this your business? Claim this listing”. Enter your name and email, we send you a 6-digit code by email, and once you confirm it our team reviews the request — usually within two working days. Claiming means asserting that you are authorised to represent that business; we may ask for proof and may reverse a claim we cannot verify.
Does listing cost anything, ever?
No. Listing is free and stays free. We take no commission on bookings, and there is no paid tier that changes where you appear in results.
Can I pay to rank higher?
No. Paid placement is never mixed into organic results, and anything featured is labelled as featured. Position follows relevance and data quality, not payment.
How do I edit or remove my listing?
Once you have claimed a listing you can edit it yourself. For anything else — a correction, hiding an entry, or removing it entirely — write to support@holisticcroatia.com and we will action it.
Data, photos and privacy
Do you use cookies?
No tracking cookies, no advertising cookies and no consent banner. The site does keep a few values in your own browser: your light or dark choice, your recent locations and searches, a scroll position, and — only if you sign in as a business owner — your session token. The Cookies page lists every one of them by name.
What data do you collect about visitors?
Nothing that identifies you. Our analytics are cookieless and aggregate — page URL, referrer, browser, operating system, device type and country — derived without storing your IP address and without a persistent identifier. Accounts and listing submissions are different, and the Privacy Policy covers those in full.
Where do the photos come from?
Venue-supplied images, photographs credited to their authors, and Unsplash and Wikimedia contributions used under their respective licences. If a photo on your listing is wrong or should not be there, write to support@holisticcroatia.com.
Something is wrong — how do I report it?
Write to support@holisticcroatia.com, or use the “Report an issue” link at the bottom of any listing. Wrong opening hours, a venue that has closed, a bad phone number, the wrong photo — all of it. No account needed.
