GLOBAL INDIAN FAMILY

 

 

Frequently Asked Questions

I can give all the help and support in guiding the visitor to fetch him an affordable and decent accomodation but it is not possible for me to keep him at my place. Is it ok if I become member.
 
Yes! you may become member, and convey the same to your matching guest as and when you happen to be a matching host. Finally (as we are not providing your residential address to any one) it depends on your email communication between your matching guest and you. However in that case you cannot expect the gift amount from your guest.
 
How do I become a Globalindianfamily member?
 
By registering with Globalindianfamily you can become member. Your login name & password will be mailed to you on receipt of your subscription. Then you can start using the services of Globalindianfamily
 
Can other members of Globalindianfamily view my details any time?
 
No way. No one can view your personal details without your consent. But as per your request for a stay, the matching hosts will have to be provided with a part of your details. To be precise such hosts will be provided with only your Name, Age, and Place. Your email address will be provided to them only if they accept your stay to enable further communication between you two.
 
I am not an Indian, can I join Globalindianfamily
  By all means, provided you appreciate the concept of bridging cultures. We welcome all nationals around the globe even our Logo states that whole Globe is one Family.
   
How do I send in a request for a stay as a guest?
 
By submitting the Stay Request Form with your details.
 
How many days in advance do I need to send my request?
 
Earlier the better. However the request should be minimum 8 days in advance and maximum 30 days in advance. You can cancel your request up to 5 days in advance. You will receive confirmation of your stay if a matching host is found 5 days in advance. Once confirmation is sent to you, whether you accomplish the stay or not your chance for request is counted as we provide one family member’s contact to you.
 
Is there any guarantee of my stay with a host?
 
No. There is no guarantee that each request for a stay would find a matching host. However with more and more people joining our family there will be more and more chance of match.
 
What do I do once I register with you and pay the subscription?
 
The only expectation from members is that they keep checking their emails (if not daily once in two days or so) so as to either receive confirmation as per the request or to confirm a guest’s stay if you are a matching host.
 
What am I supposed to do after becoming a member?
 
Use the services of Globalindianfamily by checking your emails as normally you would check other emails. Globalindianfamily would highly appreciate if you promote the website and encourage.
 
How will I be communicated about a prospective guest?
 
You will be receiving an email giving the details of your matching prospective guest 5 days in advance.
 
Do I have the liberty to terminate my stay as a guest at any moment?
 
Yes you are free to do so. However as a courtesy you are expected to inform the host likewise.
 
Can I decide not to stay with the host at the last moment?
 
Yes. However you will be deemed to have used one of your chances of request for stay.
 
Can I communicate with my host/guest further to the stay?
 
Yes very much. In fact that is exactly in line with the Globalindianfamily philosophy. Connecting families, bridging cultures.
 
As a guest, what if I wish to cancel/pre pone/or postpone my stay?
 
You are allowed to alter your details of stay up to 6 days prior to the original date of stay requested.
 
As a host what if I wish not to have any guest for a particular period?
 
Any way no stay of any guest is confirmed without your prior confirmation of availability and concurrence.
 
What if the guest and the host work out another stay on mutual understanding without involving Globalindianfamily?
 
Globalindianfamily does not come in the way of any such stays being arranged by mutual convenience of the guest and the host. Globalindianfamily sees no threat to its operation as it believes in spite of such contacts being developed its services would always be needed by the members.
 
How do I recognize my prospective guest?
 
You would be getting their name, age, sex, language before you confirm their stay and then you would be able to communicate with them and thus identify.
 
Can I take any non-member along with me to my guest to my host?
 
No. In any case no member or non-member can be a guest without prior confirmation from the host.
 
What does Like-minded Family mean?
 
By like-minded family we mean: the members have an open heart, they love, enjoy and accept the company of people, they feel proud and rich in developing increasing number of contacts and have a friendly attitude.
 
What is Globalindianfamily’s definition of a stay?
 
Our definition of a stay: a place of shelter for not more than 4 - 5 consecutive days, where a guest can keep his belongings (say a bag or two), where he can sleep overnight and basic homely amenities are available to him. We do not expect the host even to offer a cup of tea or so to the guest. However they mutually can agree upon any further deal.
 
Is my stay going to be free of cost?
 
Not exactly. Just as any guest normally brings some gift for the host, we propose Globalindianfamily member guest to pay his host a sum of Rs.100/- (For a stay outside India the currency equivalent of USD 10/-) per person per day as a cash gift. This is to be considered as a goodwill gesture towards the host and not to be evaluated for the comforts offered.
