Had to give a $200 damage/security deposit. Made a video just before checking out to prove the condition of the condo was just as it was found. Contacted them several times requesting refund of damage/security deposit. Was told to wait 7 days from checkout. Have waited longer than 7 days and no refund

Dear Steve, thank you for sharing your experience. We’re sorry for the confusion regarding the security deposit and appreciate your patience while waiting for the refund. We can confirm that the $200 deposit was returned on August 30th. We’ll also share the confirmation with you via email shortly. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and hope this helps clarify everything. Best regards, Globalstay Team
I would avoid Global Stay at all costs.
Edited to add: I have screenshots to verify everything that I am saying. I’m sure Expedia has recorded calls that can verify too. Amazingly the fasted response I ever got from them was when I posted a review. The multiple negative reviews don’t lie. They are a scam.
I would avoid Global Stay at all costs.
I travel frequently and have never had such a horrible experience.
First of all, the booking states that check in information would be sent within 48 hours of the stay. We received nothing. We tried to call at this point and the phone just rings busy consistently. At this point called Expedia who said they had an “agent number” and they got able of someone named Marcus who would send us info right away. That did not happen.
Next day as we are driving into Toronto on one of the many attempts the phone actually rings and is answered. I’m told I’ll get a link on Expedia. I ask before I hang up if I fill this out will I get a near immediate response, answer was yes. I upload my ID per the link and wait for further instructions.
Two hours later and no contact, I email, message and call back Expedia as we make our way into Toronto. No luck. We arrive at property. Security at the building has nothing to do with Global Stay and can’t help us at all. Only comments from them is they often see travelers have issues with Global Stay, including problems with security deposit.
At this point we have asked Expedia for a refund so I can book a new location for our family of 6 and get on with our trip. a lot of red flags and no guarantee will get in.
After asking for this and booking a new location, Global Stay sends another link for me to go OFF site to leave a security deposit. The VRBO/Expedia platform clearly recommends right at the top of the message box to not leave site for payment.
Expedia was little help so filed a credit card dispute. They note that they also cannot get through when they call.
I have NEVER had such poor service in all of my travel. Do NOT book. They shouldn’t even be allowed to list. Disservice. Reads these and Google reviews. Clearly I am not the only one.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re sorry that the check-in process did not feel as smooth as expected, especially while travelling with your family.
We’d like to clarify a few points regarding the reservation. Our records show that the mandatory pre-arrival form was shared with you via Expedia chat at least one day before your arrival. This form is part of our standard self-check-in process, and completing it is required before check-in details can be provided.
The refundable security deposit is also a mandatory requirement for all guests and is clearly outlined in the listing before booking. The deposit is fully refundable provided there is no damage to the property, and hundreds of guests have completed this process successfully during their stays with us.
We’re also sorry that the timing of the communication did not meet your expectations. We’ll review the communication process and check our records to ensure everything is working as it should.
Regarding the cancellation, reservations are handled according to the cancellation policy agreed to at the time of booking, which applies equally to all guests.
We appreciate your feedback and will use it to review our processes and make any improvements needed. We wish you all the best in your future travels. Best regards, Globalstay Team
Bait-and-switch scam
Do not trust Globalstay.
I booked their AirBnB apartment at 89 Dunfield Ave, Toronto. A message from Sofiia, our host, said they would email the entry pass details a few days before we arrived in Toronto. The day before we were due to leave for the airport I received an email with a PDF confirmation which showed a different address to the one I booked. Globalstay tried very hard to convince me the new address was my correct booking. Fortunately I still had the browser window open showing the address I booked was Dunfield Ave but they still tried to convince me I was wrong.
I contacted AirBnB support who cancelled the booking and returned my booking fee.

Dear Bahir, thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry for the confusion surrounding the address information and understand how important it is to have complete clarity before arrival.
We would like to clarify that no modifications were made to your reservation. Your stay was scheduled for the exact unit you originally booked at 89 Dunfield Ave, Toronto. The Dunfield and Lillian addresses refer to locations within the same building, which is why both names may appear in the information provided to guests.
We also understand that you ultimately decided not to proceed with the reservation. The cancellation was made at your discretion, and we did not make any changes to the booked unit or reservation.
We’re always happy to provide additional clarification and assistance to help guests feel confident about their arrival arrangements. We appreciate your feedback and will continue working to make our pre-arrival information as clear as possible. Best regards, Globalstay Team

Just adding to the negative reviews with a time stamp. The booking on Fort York in Toronto was horrible beginning with the lack of communication to get into the unit. The place was filthy, and A/C did not work. Also, “manager” would not give us access without putting down a $200 security deposit then would not give it back PLUS asked for an additional 176 to cover damages that we did not create. Trying to get my security deposit back - nightmare, scam, run, report!

Dear Anne, thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear about your experience. Please allow us to clarify that the information regarding the security deposit, as well as other mandatory check-in requirements, is clearly stated in the listing and available to guests before booking. Once all required steps are completed, we are able to provide the self-check-in instructions. Regarding the security deposit, it is automatically returned within 7 business days after check-out if no damages are found. Please note that we carefully inspect each apartment after every stay and before each new check-in to ensure that the apartment is fully prepared for our guests. Unfortunately, after your check-out, damages were identified and you were informed accordingly. We regret that you were left with a negative impression. We will continue working to improve our processes and provide a better experience for our guests. Thank you for your understanding. Kind regards, Globalstay Team.
Scam operation
Scam operation, do not book with them. They will blame you for their failures to provide information for check-in timely and not return your security deposit for verifiably bogus reasons. I was charged for not being out by designated 12pm checkout time which prevented the cleaners from getting in timely, despite checking out 2.5 hours before 12pm and providing proof of this when requested. They insisted that I met the cleaners even after providing texts with metadata showing I left at 9:30am as well as parking garage receipts with date and time stamps proving I was out of the apartment I rented through them on Expedia. When I tried contacting them via phone, the only "response" I got was AI. Ended up getting a consolation credit from Expedia and had to dispute the charges with my bank, but these pricks still got their money.
Update: their reply here is automated trash like their phone lines, and has bonus lies! Not only was the deposit supposed to be $140, but they took MORE than $60 out of it. DO NOT BOOK WITH THIS SCAM OPERATION.

Dear Michael, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're sorry to hear that parts of your experience did not meet your expectations. With regard to the late checkout and cleaning fee concerns, our standard check-out time is 12:00 PM. Our cleaning team schedules access immediately after this time in order to prepare the unit for incoming guests. Based on our records, access to the unit was not available at the scheduled time, which impacted the cleaning schedule. While 60 CAD has been deducted from your deposit, the remaining 140 CAD has been sucessfully refunded within alloted timeframe. Thank you again for your feedback. We appreciate you staying with us and wish you all the best in your future travels. Best regards, Globalstay Team

Very poor service!!! NO WIFI and part of the ELECTRICITY SHUT DOWN. And when we arrived, the security man did not let us into the apartment, because we LACKED ENTRY INFORMATION that Global Stay simply did not provide.

Dear El Ha, thank you for sharing your feedback. We're sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. We appreciate your comments regarding your arrival and the communication.

GlobalStay did not provide access to the accomodation and took my money for the whole stay!
I do not recommend GlobalStay to anyone! Miserable customer service and no services provided, but they took all my money! I booked an apartment in Toronto and they did not provide information for the check-in, although they confirmed check-in at 15pm. After 4 hours of trying to reach them and waiting around at the reception and on the streets i booked another stay out of desperation and requested a free cancellation, because they were IN BREACH OF CONTRACT. They did not offer their services as per booking.com contractual obligations. They denied my request and took all my money. What a scam! I contacted their CEO and she ignored me. I did not get my refund. I have never seen the appartment.
Do not book with them.

Appallingly run organisation to be avoided
No Hot Water. Locked out of building in garage. Very poor housekeeping. Broken dishwasher. Absolutely no response from Globalstay to remedy the problems. Managed by an unprofessional and incompetent team remotely so they have no clue how to remedy problems. a formal complaint via Booking.com - who were also totally ineffective - yielded a refusal to offer any form of compensation.
I have since had a response from Globalstay containing a series of untruths and a general tone of complacency that all the problems were ours or the buildings. I repeat stay clear of any booking involving this organisation

Dear Mr nigel worne, thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear about your experience. Please note that the hot water interruption was a planned maintenance issue in the building, which is managed by the building administration and outside of our control. As soon as we were informed, we promptly notified you with the information provided to us. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. Regarding the dishwasher, our records show that we attempted to contact you during your stay to arrange for a technician to inspect the issue, however we did not receive a response/it was declined. Following your check-out, we immediately inspected the appliance, and it is currently fully operational, and the apartment is confirmed to be in proper condition for guest stays. We always aim to assist our guests as quickly as possible and appreciate your understanding. Kind regards, Globalstay Team.
Deserves a 0- worst customer experience ever!
I would give 0 if I could. We booked the room after reviewing everything on Booking.com. The day before rental we were sent a note saying they needed an additional 200 damage deposit and that the age to check in was now 25, not 18 as on Booking.
Booking was for a Toronto apartment.
We tried to reach them as we were staying for a conference and the person checking in was not 25. They said it was policy and that there was nothing they could do. After being hung up on 3 times we finally got through and were told if we paid an additional 1000 for the rental ( original value less than 700) they would consider it.
We could not afford the change and they refused to refund for the changed policy. They said it was policy but could not show us the policy on the site. They then blamed booking.com for missing information on the site but still refused to talk to us or provide us any compensation for the miss. Throughout emails they took no responsibility for the issue and policies changed based on who I emailed. Very inconsistent, poor service and treatment for a business that is designed to welcome people to their apartment in Toronto.
I for one will never use them again and have raised complaints with the tourism and business bureau so they are less likely to do this to others who visit Toronto.
We were out the money for the rental and had to scramble to find a hotel.
Stay away from this company! They refuse to talk through the issue and policies we have on screen shot were updated without letting us know.
They have no customer service and only care about ripping off clients. There was not even an attempt to meet half way with the changes. It was all in their favor or nothing.
They cancelled the reservation and did not refund anything.
Do yourself a favour and stay anywhere but with them.

Dear Guest, thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear that your experience did not meet expectations, and we apologize for any inconvenience caused.
However, please allow us to clarify that the deposit requirements and minimum age policy are clearly stated in the listing and visible prior to booking. We are therefore not able to make exceptions outside of these terms.
In some cases, we may allow guests under the age of 25 to check in; however, an increased security deposit would apply in such situations. If a guest does not agree with these conditions and wishes to cancel the reservation, cancellation is only possible in accordance with the cancellation policy selected at the time of booking.
Unfortunately, we are not able to modify or override these policies.
We appreciate your understanding.
Kind regards, Globalstay Team.
Global Stay makes it exceedingly…
Global Stay makes it exceedingly difficult to finalize bookings. They take your money but won't release the address. They failed to send me the parking and deposit forms. I asked before and they said it was too early. Then on the day they were supposed to send it they did not. I kept asking. On the day that I was driving to the unit it was not booked. The form they send does not send to a link. Instead it does nothing. This make it very stressful. I do not recommend; the advertise wrongly; a junior 1-bedroom is advertised as a 1-bedroom. The living room space is just a sliver of a space.

Dear Georgina, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that parts of the arrival process felt stressful for you. We understand how important a smooth check-in experience is, especially while traveling. For security and guest safety purposes, our team sends the required check-in forms and access instructions approximately two days prior to arrival. This allows us to complete the mandatory verification steps while ensuring all booking details are finalized before check-in. Based on our communication history, it appears that the provided links were successfully accessed and the booking process was ultimately completed through them. Regarding the layout of the unit, we always aim to present the property as accurately as possible through the listing description, room details, and photos available prior to booking, so guests can determine whether the space is the right fit for their needs and expectations. We truly appreciate your comments, as guest feedback helps us continue improving both our communication and arrival experience. We wish you all the best in your future travels. Best regards, Globalstay Team
Scammers !! Be careful !
I rented a unit from Global stay via hotels.com, little did I knew they clwoild be charging a damage deposit of $500 Thats I had to send in a private email e-transfer outside the site. The site told me it was safe to do so I sent it together with a pet fee aa dog were allowed. The bed in the unit was nothing but a foamy mattress wrapped in plastic , no window that opened or ventilation so we had to sleep on the couch. When we left the place was pretty much spotless and in good condition. Two day later rhey Messaged saying there was “damage” and attached were pictures of dog hair and two paw prints, which is not damage but something that can be whipped off and to be expected when you allow pets in your property . They said they would take $70 for the damage and also charged me for other $30 for an extra guest that we never had. I had called them and emailed them with no success , they never refunded any of my money; they stole from me. So whenever you see their properties in any booking website steer off and save yourself the headache of loosing money , in my case money I worked very hard to earn and don’t have.

Dear Itzel Ramirez, thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. However, we would like to kindly clarify that all check-in requirements, including the security deposit payment, are clearly stated in the listing and visible to guests prior to booking. Regarding the deposit deduction, please note that all apartments are carefully inspected and cleaned after each stay. Your apartment was fully prepared and in excellent condition upon your check-in. Unfortunately, after your check-out, damage requiring additional professional cleaning was identified and communicated to you. In particular, the sofa required specialized cleaning, and the cost of this service was 70 CAD. We have also confirmed with our finance department that the remaining balance of 430 CAD from your security deposit has already been refunded to you. Please note that refund processing times may occasionally be extended due to technical delays that are unfortunately beyond our control. We always strive to provide transparent communication and a comfortable experience for all our guests, and we appreciate your comments and understanding. Best regards, Globalstay Team.
STAY ANYWHERE ELSE!
Adding my review to countless others in hopes that you will be spared spending your precious vacation time in a crappy rental. Rented accommodation in downtown Calgary. The door to the unit was literally glued together hastily after what seemed like a breakin? The upholstery was stained and the room advertised as a second bedroom was a windowless doorless alcove off of the kitchen. Wish I could post photos of this nightmare!

Stay away from this company
Stay away from this company! We booked to stay with them in downtown Toronto and are not only out the $1500 + $200 deposit but also the $1800 it costed us to stay elsewhere. We waited almost 3 hours for a person who never showed up and lost our damage deposit for a missing key that we never laid eyes on. We were never inside the unit to damage anything. We followed all their check in instructions and yet somehow it was our fault that they were not able to show up to let us in or that we could not access an off property lock box that they tried to point us towards. The communication has been very frustrating. Always by email, never answering their phones and always someone different who does not answer our questions. Save you money, stay somewhere else.

Dear Susan, thank you for your feedback. We’re very sorry to hear about your experience and understand how frustrating this situation must have been.
We’d like to clarify that after you've contacted us about your issue, a detailed self check-in instructions were shared with you, and our team remained in contact during this time to assist as needed. The check-in process is designed to be fully self-service, and allows for a successful check-in once all the steps are completed.
Regarding the key, the lockbox was checked shortly after the check-in attempt and was found empty. As the keys are placed there before each arrival, this indicates they may have been removed during the access attempt.
We truly regret the inconvenience caused and understand how impactful this situation was on your stay. We will continue reviewing this case internally to ensure our instructions and processes are as clear and seamless as possible for future guests.

I am currently taking legal action to get my deposit back. Utterly terrible experience. The entry information did not correspond to the key box. I repeatedly telephoned the numbers given and the only contact was via email. I then received new entry information which gave keys to a different flat. I was then informed this was the incorrect flat but they then informed me by email some three hours later I could stay in it. They were totally unresponsive on all phone numbers given. When I left completely within the leaving deadline before the entry time (as I can evidence from my train ticket) and as I was heading to the airport they lied that I stayed beyond my time. They claimed I exited much later which is totally untrue and withheld the deposit. Despite pointing this out to them they have still refused to refund me. Therefore, despite the likely extra cost to me I am pursing them legally. DO NOT STAY WITH THEM.

Dear Adam, thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your stay did not meet your expectations and that you had a negative experience. However, after a thorough review of the situation, we would like to clarify a few important points. The check-in instructions provided to you were correct and included detailed, step-by-step guidance for both arrival and departure. Unfortunately, you checked into a different apartment on your own, which was not in accordance with those instructions. Additionally, there was a violation of the agreed check-out time. Late departures can significantly impact our team’s schedule and the experience of incoming guests, and we kindly ask all guests to adhere to these timings. As a result, a portion of the deposit was retained in accordance with our policies. The remaining balance, as per our records, has been refunded to you. We appreciate your understanding and regret any inconvenience caused. Best regards, Globalstay Team.
Very poor communication and unacceptable service
Very disappointing experience overall.
The main issue was the lack of communication. On the day of arrival, I received instructions that I couldn’t access due to permission issues, and despite calling and messaging multiple times (phone and WhatsApp), I did not receive any response. Arriving without clear check-in information was very stressful and not what you would expect.
Communication remained poor throughout. At one point, I was unable to reach them through my usual number and only managed to get a response by calling with a hidden number, which was quite concerning.
There were also management issues, such as basic details not being correctly handled despite being provided more than once, which led to unnecessary inconvenience.
In addition, the overall quality did not meet expectations, especially considering the standards typically associated with Dubai.
Overall, the experience reflects a lack of responsiveness and customer service. Based on this, I would not recommend it.

Withheld deposit for 36 days with false damage claims
I stayed at their Toronto property (3503 21 Iceboat Terrace) from January 18-22, 2026.
The deposit scam:
Required $200 CAD deposit + passport photo outside Booking.com before check-in
Their own policy states 7-day refund, but took 36 days
Only refunded after I filed formal complaint with Booking.com
Charged $20 for false "towel damage" - I only used it normally for bathing
This is a pattern:
Check their reviews here (1.3/5), Google (1 star), and Booking.com - dozens of guests report identical issues: withheld deposits, invented damage charges, poor communication.
The apartment itself was acceptable, but the deposit refund process shows this company operates unethically. They bank on guests not fighting back.
Warning: If you book with Globalstay, expect deposit problems. Document everything with photos and timestamps at check-in/check-out.

GlobalStay rented us an apartment that they knew had bed bugs and then refused to give a refund
GlobalStay rented us an apartment in downtown Toronto that they knew had bed bugs and then refused to offer a refund. At the end of our stay as we were packing up, we found a live bed bug on the bed. Upon lifting the mattress, we discovered a bed bug trap with dead bed bugs inside of it. There was an ongoing active infestation in which we unwittingly became victims. (The bed bugs also travelled home with us in our luggage, which we had to treat.) We immediately notified GlobalStay and requested a refund. Then a week went by with silence, and the numerous bites appeared. So we got in touch with Booking.com, since we booked the property through them. Thence commenced a five-week battle. First, GlobalStay tried to claim that we were no-shows, but we had copious documented evidence to the contrary. Then they pretended for some time that they would offer a refund and that they were only waiting for their finance manager to approve it—a falsehood they repeatedly told both to me and to Booking.com. Eventually, they stopped taking my phone calls and stopped responding to my emails about a refund. Booking.com finally formally requested compensation on my behalf, and GlobalStay ignored Booking.com’s emails. In the end, Booking.com, not GlobalStay, offered me the refund as future travel credit. Afterwards, in little more than an hour, GlobalStay writes to say, “we can see now that Booking refunded the cost of the stay and hope it is settled now.” GlobalStay was simply waiting either for me to give up or for Booking.com to step up and be their fall guy. In short, this is the most dishonest, unethical company with which I have ever dealt, and people should steer clear. If I could give zero stars, I would. What can they do to improve? Consider taking a course on ethics.
