How It Works:
If you would like to book an apartment, or make an inquiry for an apartment for your client, you may do so by accessing our web site at www.globalguestsuites.comand then locating the apartment you are interested in. You may then click the booking/inquiry form located on each apartment information page and enter your information which can then be directly e-mailed to us. Once you make a request we can usually have an answer for you right away.
We need the following information from you:
- What dates do they wish to travel?
- Do you have special requirements?
- How many persons will be traveling?
- Room Type (double bed, twin, sofa bed or cots)?
- Are you flexible?
Commission
Apartments are either sold on an 8% commissionable basis or on a net basis to which you can add your commission. Travel insurance is non-commissionable. Travel agents may wish to deduct the commissions upfront and therefore must prepay the entire reservation by check five to eight weeks prior to arrival and deduct the commission from that final payment. In order to receive commission for your agency we must have your IATA number and you full mailing address.
Prices & Payment
The prices of apartments are quoted in U.S. dollars and include all taxes and services except telephone usage. They are based on a seven-night stay; however the apartments can be pro-rated for shorter and longer stays. Prices are subject to currency fluctuation, However when accommodations have been paid in full, there will be no increase.
- Additional nights are charged pro-rata as one seventh of the weekly rate.
- Apartments are different than hotels in that apartments must be prepaid in full.
- For stays in excess of six weeks many apartments can be discounted by 10% on quoted prices.
- You may also check out our corporate section where you will find substantial discounts on bookings of 30 days or more.
Deposit Requirements / Final Payment
On making a booking you will need to pay a deposit (which is part of the total rent) to secure the apartment. The balance is payable anywhere from 2 – 6 weeks before arrival and will be automatically debited if a credit card is provided for payment. There may also be an additional security deposit required for some apartments. Please refer to the policies section of each property.
Cancellations
If you need to cancel a reservation contact our office and we will be happy to do this for you. You will need to give notice anywhere from 48 hours to 6 weeks in advance in order to receive a refund. All fees and restrictions associated with the individual property will apply.
We recommend that guests be covered by our travel insurance policies in case of illness, health issues or loss of luggage.
Arrival & Departure
Apartments are reserved from 2:00 p.m. on the day of arrival until usually 10:00 noon the day of departure. Although check-in for most apartments is 2.00 p.m., if the previous guest leaves early apartments are sometimes available earlier
Confirmation Document

In most cases you will receive a final confirmation will all pertinent details which is sent after the balance of payment is taken.
