Disgruntled hosts taking it out on guests

After a lot of thought, and consideration, I’ve decided against being part of harvest host, because of a group on Facebook where it seems like a lot of hosts are not happy with the terms set forward by harvest host, and they take it out on the customers.

If customers “only” spend the minimum amount required to be part of the program, they get side eyed, chastised, and they get called out in that group that is supposed to be about ‘experiences’. I understand the hosts are having an experience as well, but I think it’s SUPER tacky, and horrible business practice to come at the customer, and create a culture of ‘bullying the customers’ like has developed in that group. It’s counter productive at minimum, and harvest host should not allow them to do this, it hurts them, but mostly it hurts harvest host.

When everyone is telling you “don’t join” in response to legitimate concerns that many others have as well, you will undoubtably lose business unnecessarily.

Hi ubtctc - Thank you for taking the time to write this review. We would very much like the opportunity to address your concerns. Please contact us at mobileapp@harvesthosts.com with these details.

Canadian’ Beware!!

This company uses “negative billing” practice for auto renewals!! This is illegal in Canada. They also store your credit card info to be used for their auto renewals! This app does NOT allow you to cancel, nor does it allow you to remove/change private credit card info. What person in the RV community travels with a computer to access a full version of the Harvest Host website? I don’t! I use an iPhone when I’m traveling. HH needs to do better for the RV community and they need to add the cancel membership and modify payment options functionality to their app. Hiding behind “terms and conditions” argument is weak. Do better HH

Travel made better

I’m 78 years old and I’m on my “ This may be my last serious motor home trip “ (until my next adventure). I’m definitely old enough to remember rv’ing without a system like Harvest Host.

All I can say is: Thanks

Best Harvest Host experience so far

We just started our Harvest Host journey and this was third time trying. This place is absolutely stunning: very nice/clean/private site, big enough for long rv with slideout. We were at site #3 and we can see site #1 is also very neat.

The beef we bought from their store was also delicious! Would like to buy more:)

Will definitely re-visit! Thank you host!

Thank you for the good review and 5-star rating. It sounds like you had a great visit with one of our hosts. Consider leaving a review on the host's page to help other members get to know this host.

Complete scam! Con artists.

Harvest Hosts will continue to charge you fees through affiliate companies like Campers Card - even though your membership with Harvest Hosts is cancelled. In my case they were able to put a charge through an expired credit card. This is their business model and it’s very scammy. Be very careful. If you sign up, you will need to cancel every membership at their affiliate companies that they automatically sign you up for - even though you may not even know who these affiliates are. Your credit card company may not help since these other companies are affiliated with a company you e had previous business with. Never again for me.

Easy booking experience - app route planning great

I recently tried HH with a last minute trip (meaning a few days prior) in early August peak season in our home state of Oregon. I noticed some places don’t allow same day booking, which is super reasonable. However, you can filter for that - and filter for dogs! We planned our route - and found lots of stops along the way (very few along coast). We stayed at two vineyards, a golf course, and a blueberry farm. All were great experiences. What I additionally like about the app is the ability to add the dump station layer and see recent experiences (would be nice to add review or update data vs thumbs up/down as some info was inaccurate). Messaging through the app is easy, viewing calendars easy, reading reviews easy. Buy your UX team a beer!

What a great review! We appreciate the 5-star rating, too. Help us spread the word by recommending us to your friends and family.

Not for Canadian travel

Not enough participants to support

Beware, subscription is renewed automatically without notice and no refund. No invoice. I requested an invoice and they made one up, but it was a date of two months after the fact that they had billed me. I don’t know who’s doing the bookkeeping with this group, but I’m not sure that they’re up and up.

Just keeps getting better

We’ve been members of Harvest Hosts for a frighteningly long time. It has become a resource we use regularly on our travels. The number and variety of hosts just keeps growing! The app, too, keeps getting better; filters now identify hosts that provide electricity, allow generators, or permit extra nights. Online reservations, where hosts provide this service, make scheduling a breeze. The app itself is a snap to use; logically laid out, clean interface, and not at all buggy. If I could add anything I would like to see churches in a separate category, and it would be plus to have a filter to show stops where food is available. Nice job, HH!

Best kept secret

We love travelling with our 27 foot trailer and staying at Harvest Host. We have met so many great people and enjoyed beautiful farms, wineries, markets and private homes. It is an easy, relaxed way to travel. Last year we went to the east coast and this year we are doing the west coast of Canada. Finding a place to visit has been east both in Canada and the United States!!
