    Very friendly and warm hosts, who make you feel like home. We loved the location of the guesthouse, because its very near the ghats at a convenient and calm place. Besides that, rooms were spacious and clean with a nice view. We will definitely stay at Baba Guesthouse when we will ever come back to Varanasi. Thanks again!

    There is an excellent communal vibe at Banaras Guest House. Brothers, Naveen & Krishna are the reason for this. They are friendly and genuine people and great hosts. My visit to Varanasi was all the more memorable for staying here. Highly recommended!

    Excellent hostel. Clean and tidy, fast WiFi, cheap breakfast, hot showers and good location with easy access to the ghats. The staff were friendly and helpful, knowledgeable in their respective areas. Good vibe with a mix of Indian and foreign travelers but hostel is large enough to find a quiet place if you want to relax by yourself.

    Had a good stay at Mangla guesthouse. Great location near the Ghats and some nice restaurants. The double room with private bathroom was nice, spacious and clean. Good hot shower (of hot water isn't coming, just ask the hosts and they will solve the problem straightaway). Amy and Raul are good, honest people and amazing hosts, and will help you with anything you need. I would stay there again!

    The guesthouse is very quietly located in a side street directly at the Assi Ghat. Within 5 minutes you can walk to the Ganges and in 20 minutes to the main Ghat. Sona and her family are the best hosts you can imagine for your stay in Varanasi. After a hard day you want nothing more than a delicious meal from Sona, a hot shower and a clean bed. Sona also organizes all kinds of tours and tickets at a very reasonable price. Absolute recommendation!

    A great location overlooking the Ganges, with a lovely view from the rooftop. The house is charming, tucked away in a quiet lane next to a temple. Mostly we liked Pinky and Rani our exceptional hosts who made us feel so welcome, our favourite stay so far in India.

    The guesthouse is located bang on Babua Pandey ghat, which is 200m away from Dashashwamedh ghat (main ghat) and 400m away from Kashi Vishwanath temple. Despite being in the heart of all the action, the place is neatly tucked away in quietude and serenity. The guesthouse hosts good sized rooms with private bath. The host Mr. Priyankar and his family are kind and genial and ever accommodating. All in all, we had a very pleasant stay here.
