We had an excellent stay at Sri Someswar Guest House. Sharmaji, the owner, along with his two sons, was extremely helpful and friendly. They guided us with a well-planned tour program, negotiated with auto-rickshaw drivers on our behalf, and even assisted with transferring our luggage from the 600m drop point. The accommodation is conveniently located near Dasashwamedh Ghat. Overall, we had a very pleasant and comfortable stay.

The 7 Traders Hostel was our salvation! After we arrived early in the morning on the night bus from Agra, our previously booked hotel room was unfortunately canceled. The 7 Traders Hostel confirmed our booking immediately and we were able to check into our room much earlier. The staff were super friendly and helpful. We booked a second night on the spot. The room is clean and very central. We were able to visit all the attractions on foot and to escape the heat, we always stopped off at our hostel. The price-performance ratio is really great. We are happy to recommend it to others and will be back on our next trip to India!

Ashirvad Homestay must rank among the very best places to stay in Varanasi. Elegant, spotlessly clean rooms, wonderful breakfasts, centrally located but in a tranquil cul-de-sac, we could not have been more comfotable. The owners are very attentive to their guests' needs and even presented us with a beautiful hand-painted picture of Varanasi upon departure. This was our favourite accommodation in india.

Amit is very concerned about the well-being of his customers for whom he makes all his time available as well as his vehicle or boat… He receives his guests as if they were members of his own family. With only two rooms in the homestay, guests can easily communicate in the “lounge / living-room” ..

We had a great stay at Azure Family Paying Guest House! Sona and her daughter are incredibly nice and caring! We could check in at 7am in the morning as our train from Agra was that early and there was a room available (for no additional charge). We had a cooking lesson with Sona, making Samosas, which was so much fun! And when we left, Sona organised an airport drop off for us. The room was small but comfy and clean, with hit shower and ventilator.

Reasonable and worth every penny! I recently had the pleasure of staying at Ajnara and I must say, it was an exceptional experience! This spacious Homestay is perfect for large families, groups of friends, or even corporate retreats. It comes with multiple bedrooms, bathrooms, and living areas. The kitchen is fully stocked, making it easy to prepare meals for a crowd. The location is also ideal, with plenty of parking space and easy access to public transportation. It's a true gem that feels like a home away from home!
