Featured review
This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

i was requested to fill up the promotional coupons at Big Bazar, and received 5-6 calls from Mr Abhijeet (Telecaller )Global Connect, inviting me and my Husband for the presentation.
After his continuous calls and request and a number of assurances, i attended the presentation with my Husband.We invested more than 90 min in knowing about the service and the presentation.We were assured to get free holiday, irrespective of the membership .I decided to redeem the voucher for the next month, and hence tried to contact the office where I spoke to Mr Abhijeet, who was very rude and arrogant.
I tried to contact the customer care department where I wasnt given any information .
I WOULD JUST COMMENT THAT THE MARKETING GUYS ARE TOO SHRUDE AND MISLEAD THE PEOPLE AND FAKE PROMISES AND SWEET TALKS, WITH NO REALITY SHOWS THAT THE COMPANY DOES NOT HAVE ANY ETHICAL VALUES.

Yes i agree this is complete Fraud and confusing company, they promis something and deliver other.
Mr. Pravin Kambale is nice speaking person but pls be cautious about him. he is here to sale and make commission and leave us on mercy of global connect. Pl be noted this is not corporate where ethics works and process followed, here it is like a shop which is being run by three director whos information is now where available except one email id which does not work. they are running a fraud organisation. big issue is that they sale same product at different prices for all. so be ware i have paid them 5K, but have stopped further after knowing whatever they promise doesn't comply in written. If all suffer agree let us keep a date of sunday/saturday to meet their Vashi office to take up the issue. Pls suggest either 7/8 or next sunday/saturday

So far we have not taken any concrete steps against the organization Global Connect. They cannot deny a refund as their service level is highy below the promised level and implied requirements of customer delivery. I am checking with all who wants to unite to take this fight to the next level for a refund. We will seek leagl opinion and file police case if required. Please send your contact details, if interested to prodipto.br@gmail.com to stay connected.

Satisfied with service of global connect holidays .

I have been a Member with them since March 2015 and have taken a few vacations with them.

Well to be honest, at 1st I did not think it will be possible for them to provide good hotels at the bargain they have offered to me.

I have mostly stayed 4 / 5 stars on my own & they have lived up to the expectation.

Fortune Park JP Celestial is the best property they have provided me till date, others given were also good ones.

More support staff to do bookings. pravin alone, cannot manage so many members.

you guys have been very supporting & helpful. But you need to Up your Game to satisfy the increasing number of Members every day.

Cheers to you Guys!

It has been a wonderful experience for us during our first holiday to Mahabaleshwar through Global Connect. In a short time the staff of your Vashi office especially Mr. Pravin Kamble and Mr. Rafique, was able to arrange our two day accommodation at Mahabeleswar in a reasonably good hotel there. We were in Mahabaleshwar for 2 days at Fountain Village Hotel which was a reasonably good hotel and at a happening location in Mahabaleshwar.

I look forward to many more such holiday experience with Global Connect.

Thanks every one at Global connect.

Best regards,

Dont waste your 90min there...they are fraud..I got a from Global connect and asked me to come to collect the free prizes and holiday trip from them. Assuring me that there is nothing like membership or something and asked not to bring a single penny. They were calling me again and again which made me suspect over them and I decided not to go there. They called me from 022-[protected]/9 many times.

Dear All Victims of global Connect fraud. They cannot get away by providing below quality service and I am suffering in similar way . They have refused to pay the refund in writing. I have come to know that some Nikhil Pardeshi is their Director and have written a mail to him that understandably have gone without any response. I will be filing a case with the consumer court shortly and woud like all to join hands so that we can show them their right place in the market. They cannot take unsuspecting customers for a ride.

I had visited Global connect holiday & club pvt.ltd. vashi office to collect the gift voucher and attend a 45 minutes session, In that session they explained us an offer costing 1, 20, 000 for 5 years which was represented by Mr.Ganesh and Pravin.

The offer was pretty attractive but it was very difficult to decide for this amount but then I went for 24 EMI. but when I went home I read lot of negative reviews here and then next day again questioned Pravin about it.He said that people only put negative reviews but I was not satisfied by his answer, In order to satisfy me he planned a tour for Rajasthan in Jodhpur and the stay there was amazing and more than what I expected, it was a four star property Ranbanka Palace Hotel on top of it.I also attended the 31st Dec event which was held in Country Inn Suites by Carlson on MIDC road in Mahape.The event was very good as they had made arrangement for children entertainment separately and the drinks and food arrangement was made separately.

This review is just for Mr Pravin to change his mindset that people only put negative reviews, but Pravin thanks a lot for making my holiday experience the best ever and hope it continues in the same manner.

I became a member of Global Connect on 28th Feb. At very short notice they arranged for my stay for 2 nights(Mar 3rd & 4th) at Hotel Le Meridien, where I had to attend a 2-day conclave. I appreciate the efficiency of Global Connect in having this organised at such short notice.

The team at Global Connect have all, without exception, been very friendly and eager to please. They have the right customer-orientation, which is a necessary quality for success for any service-provider like Global Connect as an organisation. I am happy to have taken up the membership.

Truly, I thought as initially, it was a gamble for me when I became the member of the Global Connect Holidays, Pune, for the five year membership with a hefty amount paid at that point. But over a period Global team has proved that my doubts & fear was baseless. They really kept all the promises offered at the time of engaging me as a member.

My first holiday, which was complimentary & not as a member of the firm, enjoyed at La Maison Fontanhas, Panjim, a warm & good experience. GCM, also offered the New year celebration party occasion, at a very nice four star resort near by, to my family.

We are also the member of the reputed Health club, nearby through GCM, at no extra cost.

All the sundry payments assured as per the plan, were promptly reimbursed. Happy to state that I am planning my first holiday break of the this year, now for summer.

I sincerely recommend GCM, as a trustworthy team for carefree Holidays perpetually.

Thanks! to all the co-operative team members @Vashi & Pune.

I brought Globalconnect package last year and I am not at all happy with their service. I also paid money via Credit card and Bank charge me Interest on every EMI. But luckily I got interest amount refunded from GC, after chase of 2 months.

Now issue with their service:
1. They promise of 4/5 * hotel only, but when ever I booked holiday I got 3* hotel only. Every time they have same excuse that all 4/5* hotel rooms are booked.
2. During presentation fraud marketing guys told that we will get passes/invitation of events they organized in some 5* hotel. But since a year, I haven't got any invitation for any event.
3. They also promise of Salon voucher every quarter. But for that also I need to call 10-15 times to get single voucher. Earlier they promise to give voucher for couple, but now they refuse to do so and giving single person voucher.

Customer care is pathetic, they keep bargaining time and dragging your query for weeks. Also they will inform that we will call you in some time with resolution, but you will never receive any call.

I advise not to take member ship of GlobalConnect.

To existing customers I advise, we should go together in their Bavdhan office, once 50 customers reach on their door steps, they might forced them to take any action.

I was called at GLobal Connect Vashi office today. I went there with my family (incl two kids). Over phone they promised children play area, but nothing existed. Our daughter go hurt twice in their discussion chamber. They are very keen to shift my other holiday company holiday to them. Even offering VIP club facilities, low down payment and 0% EMIs etc. But after reading above I am happy that we did not go for the decision to any money else they would have charged us with 14% interest and we would have been left scrambling. I feel they will provide services but of very low quality which will make clients very unhappy. My advise - AVOID!

GLOBAL CONNECT HOLIDAYS BAVDHAN PUNE EXPERIENCE :
This is a fraud company.people are very rude & unprofessional.when u visit their for membership they talk very good & politely. but once after sometime of discussion if they realizes that u are not going to take their membership, their way of talking & tone changes.their receptionist & all other persons behaves in the same way.

even latter they give us free vouchers of Hotel stay & free petrol .

but petrol voucher the petrol pump do not accept saying that this is weekend, u can avail this only on weekdays between 12 to 3 in afternoon. Don't know what is logic behind that.No where this condition is mentioned in the voucher.so like it of no use.no one will plan seperately to come on weekday afternoon to get free petrol.

Same nutanki for free hotel stay. no condiitons they told beforehand.when I request for booking they told we have to book 1 month in advance.then I dropped mail to book for after 1 month date.they replied after 1 week after sending mails 4-5 times & told that this free booking is full for next 4 months.you can get booking only after that.

Overall this is FRAUD CHEAT company full of cheat people whose sole objective is just to trap people out of their money.Doing their operation in the center of PUNE city.Dont understand these so called political parties who should & show they care about people n all why dont they just go & beat these people up, blacken their face & force them to run away & stop cheating people.Even Police is not acting against them

There are no of such companies making rounds in this field. One of them was Spring Hill Holidays. I have similar experience with Spring Hill Holiday and then I fought and got back my money, I also alerted other members and created a group to fight against them. I was sure about such frauds and hence didn't want to fall prey again to such offers. However, at Reliance Fresh in Kharghar I was told that it was not about some time share company but some other company and I filled the form. Yesterday me and my wife we visited Global Connect's office in Vashi and had very bad and rude experience the moment they knew that we are not opting to go for any package. They managed to upset us so that they don't have to give us the promised free gift. Kindly alert all the people in your groups about this company so that they do not fall prey to such frauds.

Very true this is fraud company. I paid for 5 yrs contract. Once I done payment then immediately chaged there tone, behaviour. Within few minutes I realised I made very big mistake. Before transaction they told EMI is without processing fee and 0% interest rate. But in actual statment there was 14% interest + pocessing fee. So its absolutely cheating business. They make all fake promises. Regarding Gymnasium, parlours, summer camp, holiday's booking, pick and drop facility. Once u buy this package ur hedache will start. U will feel like u made a biggest mistake n life. Realy strugling to take my money back. Is there any way? Is there any way to cancel this deal. I will really appreciate if somone helps me... Huge amount I wasted. I cant believe on myself how I got traped in these cheaters. Bandal and Shinde is owner of this company.. I believe n God..hoping that someone teach them a good leasson..This is not the write way to do a business. Surely it will not last for lonr time. There is no future for this company. .No one should go with this company. If u make deal with yhem u will liae ur sleep, health and famiky life.. u will not anything in returns.. I KINDLY REQUEST To u all AVOID GLOBAL CONNECT and leave peaceful life...

Yes. I have taken up membership for 5 years. First two years were ok. but now they do not respond. Customer care phones are hardly picked up. If at all they are picked up, you will find that you are talking witha guy who does not know how to talk to customers. You will get evasive answers, you will get false promises. You will have to wait until 11th hour for hotel booking vouchers. No senior person will come on phone. Only juniors badly trained in telephonic conversations will talk to you.

Very unprofessional company.
