I loved EVERYTHING at Kosmic Tortoise!! They were so kind, knowledgeable and very helpful, especially when my friend was not feeling well. Great communication through and through. Thank you very much for your hospitality , I will definitely be making another trip soon.

The outdoor shower was very cool

Stayed in July 2025

It doesn’t have any mirrors.

It was a surreal experience. Everything looked like we are either on a different planet or in a movie.

For the restroom, there was a porta poddy, and it was smelled and was hot inside. But at least there's somewhere to use the restroom.

The entire place was perfect and romantic. The room was absolutely perfect. It ad AC inside so we could cool down after being in the eat. The grill was perfect for making our burgers. The firepit was amazing because we were able to make smores and stare at the stars above. And the shower is outdoors which was really cool to use. With hot water.

Very nice stay, even if I’m more used to hotel

The overall aesthetic was very cute and the location was perfect for gazing up into the night sky.

No complaints. Cute little spot

Loved the star gazing at night! Short distance to park. Host was very helpful and friendly.

It was beyond the expectations. Really. They provide you all you need. I suggest making your own food there. Such an amazing energy.. and the sunrise from the bed?!?! Wow!

Stayed in April 2025

The portaloo toilet doesn’t flush.

Fantastic location, we loved sitting round the fire under the stars. The hosts have thought of everything and the bed was very comfy.

We didn’t realize the bathroom would be a portapotty. It was very clean, but hot during the afternoon.

Perfect location. Close to Joshua Tree National Park. Quiet, peaceful, dark at night for stargazing, with comfy chairs and a fire pit, hammock. The dome was clean and had almost everything you could need- refrigerator, hot/cold water cooler, utensils, grill, games, charger, electricity. The bed was very comfortable and the place was cozy! Private shower and sink outside. The owners were welcoming and very helpful.

Nothing I can think of

Everything is included, things like cutlery, grilling items, spices for grilling, hammocks outside, water, refrigerator, portable lights, you name it. Fantastic place to see the stars.

Nothing bad to say about our stay at the dome. This is not the “Hilton”. So stay there if thats more your thing.

Great location outside of town in the desert. Very comfortable bed. Frig and freezer, cold and hot bottled water for drinks. Dome was very warm and cozy. Nice fire ring outside with chair and a hammock to relax in. And the VIEWS! Stars, stars and more stars. And then watching an amazing sunrise from the comfort of bed. Host Ree was quick to respond to our call when we had some trouble with the door code at check-in. She even messaged us to tell us about the full lunar eclipse that night, which was amazing by the way.

Stayed in March 2025

The owner had everything but it could have been better if they had microwave and hair dryer.

The place itself was amazing. I like how the owner kept the place neat and clean. Every Daily items were available and the owner was very responsive to my questions.

I splurged on groceries to make a nice meal and was disappointed to find several basic cooking items missing. There was no knife. I had to use a butter knife to cut veggies and steak. There was no can opener (or knife) so I couldn’t open cans. Finally there were no tongs for the grill. I loved this place and will be back but can you please add a knife, can opener and tongs first?

I can’t imagine anyone in Joshua Tree has a better sunrise view from bed.

Stayed in February 2025

We were only on the property at night (we spent our days in the park), and it was very cold, so we weren't brave enough to try the shower. I checked out the facilities, though, and it looked great with an open top, so I bet using it in the summer is sublime. We were a little worried about chemical toilets, but they were exceptionally clean, smelled great, and weren't too cold at night.

An excellent glamping experience in the desert just outside of Joshua Tree National Park. It was quite dark and the owners have been very mindful about minimizing light pollution, so the stargazing was superb. The view of the sunrise from the dome was an incredible experience, as well. It was in the 30s at night while we were there, but the dome remained warm and cozy, and the fire pit kept us toasty while we looked at stars. Everything was so clean, there was fresh water provided, and the communication was great. Wish we had been able to stay longer!

Stayed in January 2025

Really cozy, amazing views of the stars and sunrise/sunset. Loved that everything was provided (besides food, of course!), and that we didn’t need to bring any fire starting equipment! There were utensils and plates and cups and hot water and complimentary tea… everything we needed for a relaxing stay! Porta potty was clean and didn’t mind the outdoor shower— it is camping/glamping after all. Hot tip: shower before dark and bring slippers or an extra towel to dry your feet off if you’re wearing the towel in the shower so your shoes don’t get wet!

Stayed in December 2024

Beautiful sunrise view from the comfy bed, fun cozy outdoor fire pit, relaxing view of the stars from hammock

Stayed in December 2024

We enjoyed our stay! Everything was clean and comfortable. The temps dropped down in the thirties and the firepit and heat inside the dome kept us warm! we even survived the outdoor shower!

Stayed in December 2024

Don’t love the portable toilet, but at least it was out for the stay. understandable given the set up.

The set up was really good with everything you might need quite available. The electrical heated blanket was great during the cold nights. Beautiful sunrises with an open view.

Stayed in November 2024

Response from owners during stay was delayed and could have impacted experience (Struggled with grill and fire). You were right next to the other yurt so did often see/ hear the people next to you.

Amazing location. Amenities were what would be expected for location and cost. Would 100% visit again if back in Joshua tree.

Stayed in October 2024

I loved it. the star gazing was excellent even with a full moon. The owner pointed out a visible comet which was very cool. They are working on getting a flush able toilet and then it would be perfect!

the staff was friendly, the pod wonderful nicely furnished. Some good old instant coffee would have made life easier. the only downside was the porta potty by even that was ok. I would definitely stay there again! I dont know why there's a sad face on my review. no sad face here!

Stayed in October 2024

I didn't have control of the a/c due to a remote problem. Also, there wasn't a mirror. I had to do my hair from the reflection on the glass door.

I loved the location, away from everything so I could see the night sky. The set-up was cute, had almost all the amamenities you could need.

Stayed in October 2024

Perfect stay for a secluded get-away with campfire, stargazing and hot chocolate:) The owners were amazing, even gave us a jumpstart when our car ran out of batterie!
