As a host, it took me close to a year to get any response in order to register my farm from anyone at this organization.  After hearing the continued complaints of paying volunteers for a list, which is not forthcoming, I have concluded that something is most definitely wrong here.  I'm not sure if it's organizational or just plain uncaring, but if money is being accepted for a service that is not being provided, then that would seem like fraud in my book!  I was also told that in order to register my farm, I would have to pay tobecome a member in Costa Rica and later found out that that was false information.  It has been almost two years, and I am still waiting for a refund! I think that this is a great program, but someone needs to blow a wistle here!

I paid for a membership of Wwoof Ecuador over a month ago, received the confirmation of payment email and have not received an invitation yet. There has been no answer to a query sent last week either. It seems it is dead. Has anyone had better luck luck than me with Wwoof Ecuador?

Also,
About 90% of farms in Costa Rica do charge a fee from WWOOFFers.
The other 10 either have not responded, so I couldn't say if they charge, or fail to follow through a conversation; complete avoidance. I found this to be true with Pansma as well. Attempting to WWOOFF in Both countries has been a disappointing expeirence altogether. Perhaps there should be better criteria for joining members in this
program. Just a thought.
Ate there any suggestions to finding

Hello,
I have yet to receive an invitation e-mail to view the Guatamala list after receiving a confirmation payment e-mail over a week ago. Unfortunately, I am in a very tight window of time for communicating with farmers. I would appreciate access within a day,2 max. Otherwise, I will have seek a membership with another country, and may have to request a refund.
It seems there are several others experiencing he same trouble.
Thank you for your time.

I have purchased membership for Belize, Guatemala, Costa Rica and Mexico, but thus far I have only been accepted by Belize. Is there a reason some countries take longer ?? Is there anything I should/could do in the mean time ?? Thank you. Have a Great Day.

I am a member of both Latin American independents and also Colombia. I have logged in several times over the last few days and am not able to see the Colombia farm lists. When I click on farm lists, it goes directly to Colombia discussion topics. I am currently in Colombia, and I need access to the lists immediately. My email is katielynnroot@gmail.com, please respond promptly. Thank you!!

I have contacted host ID URU003 "B.I.O. Uruguay International about WWOOFing with them. They welcomes me, and said they ask for a daily stipend of $680/day for four meals. I thought no money was exchanged when WWOOFing, as this was a work exchange program.

Here is the reply message:

Hola Diane:
Para nosotros será un gusto recibirte en nuestra granja en la fecha que propones.
Podemos dar apoyo total de alimentación (las 4 comidas), pero te solicitamos un "stipendio" de 680$ por día.
En caso estés de acuerdo escríbeme para enviarte las pautas de apoyo en BIO y las actividades del mes en la granja.

gracias y saludos
Alda

Please advise.

Hi, dear WWOOFers!!!

I would like to report the same issue, which is discribed  below by Alexey. The guy really charges money and pushes the artesanal stuff to the WWOOF and CS visitors. I would kindly ask you to arrange all the necessary restrictions for this profile not to confuse wwoofers in the future. I   provide the information over his wwoof profile one more time, as well as a link to his cs profile https://www.couchsurfing.org/people/montano/ , where  one negative reference  mentiones that he, indeed charges money cs and wwoof members.  Thank you for attention. 

Sincerely yours Natalia

Hello, dear WWOOF administration!

Recently I have had a bad expierence in WWOOF El Salvador. These guys own a kind of hostel where they charge 10 usd per day per person and also sell all kind of artesanal stuff, what is more, they don´t have any work or projects to do. Me and my wife were really confused, Mauricio had a very unfriendly and insultive actitude when we refused to pay or buy from him,  we had to leave next day. The directions of this person are provided below. I would insist that this profile should be deleted not to scam the plans of other travelers.  Please, inform me over the actions taken on that issue.

Kind regards   Alex
