We got to know about this place checking here in TA and I've got to say that Harish and his family deserves to be at the top of the rank with all these enthusiastic comments. Since we contacted him first the owner Harish has been very honest and helpful and prompt in each answer. When we arrived there he organized... More

I had a fantastic experience at Homestay Varanasi with Harish and his family. They organized an airport pickup, sightseeing tours, as well as providing fantastic food. They couldn't do enough for me, and it was such a memorable experience. Thank you. Lauren, Sydney

Me and my boyfriend stayed here for 2 nights during our brief tour of India. The breakfasts were excellent, the room so clean and basic and our kind host, Harish, was an excellent source of information for dining,You feel like you were in your relatives home, If you are looking for a great place to stay, try this Homestay

You read the reviews and cross your fingers but this homestay was not only a true cultural experience but it also enhanced our stay in Varanasi. In most of our travels we just stayed in a hotel but here the homestay became as memorable as some of the sights. The rooms are spotless and contain everything a traveller needs to... More
