This is my second visit to India, and after meeting Shanti House owner Gouri on my first visit, was always planning to return. After experiencing many different Guest Houses in India I can very easily recommend Shanti House, it's clean and quiet, the food is home cooked and very good. Gouri and his family are very friendly and Gouri will... More

On the card it's standing "come as a guest and leave as a friend" and that's true. Gouri is the honest guesthouse owner which I met in India. He gave me information about the indian prices, how to go around, and about traditional things and the daily live in India. Over there you can feel the real India and you... More

Lovely homely guesthouse run by the friendliest of families. Gouri and Tara will make you feel very welcome and nothing is too much trouble. The rooms are comfortable and the guesthouse well situated in a quiet alleyway. Highly recommended!!

We only planned on staying 2 nights in Bikaner but ended up staying for 5. The family who run the Shanti House are very friendly and welcoming, and Gouri in particular will help you with anything you need. We often bumped into him around town, his van filled with his guests; helping one tourist buy a train ticket while directing... More

Nice little guesthouse in the middle of the old city of Bikaner. The owner Gouri is very welcoming, he can pick you up for free and give good information. The food is tasty and homemade, you can watch the cooking. I had the rooftop room open to the city which was really nice and quiet. It is really like staying... More

In our one month in Rajasthan, Shanti House was by far the best place we stayed at. The rooms are tidy and simply but attentively decorated, with floral borders and typical Rajasthani motifs on the walls; the beds are clean and comfortable. Hot water is provided by the bucketful, which has proven to be the most reliable system we've encountered... More

A few rooms in a house with a friendly family. Gouri, the owner, picked us up from the train station and had lots of great advise about how to get train tickets without tatkal and general info about the area. It's a great place to feel at home.

This was, so far, the most friendly guesthouse we have been to on our trip. The owner is very helpful and easy to talk to, and he is not pushy. The hospitality is great. Rooms are clean and have very soft beds, you will sleep like a rock. The bathroom is spartan with a bucket shower and squat toilet, but... More
