This has been the best place I have stayed at in India so far. It's very clean, the area is super quiet and the staff is so kind. They helped me to get some medical help when I needed and catered to my needs to get better quickly. I felt like I was staying with family.

Maa Durga is one of a kind! Vishnu is one of the most genuine, caring, kind,inspiring, knowledgeable, helpful and compassionate humans we have ever met in India! Our room was perfect, we slept like babies, the water hot and pressure was awesome! Location is prime, right off the Ghats but still quiet enough to get all the rest you need! Vishnu is known for his delicious chai and heartfelt conversation! He knows everything and everyone in Varanasi and can help you plan and execute your adventures with a quickness.. He truly cares about his guests and genuinely wants the best for you! If you want to go on a real adventure ask him about his street food tour, so awesome!! Over all we loved our stay and will always choose Maa Durga and Vishna when we visit Varanasi!!! Thank you for everything!!!

Sona, her guesthouse and wonderful family have been the absolute highlight of my week stay in Varanasi. An ongoing source of joy, a deep well of information, a little Varanasi recommendation when required, the best chai masala in town, and an ever-present smile, it’s a joy to be with her. Sitting still is not part of Sona’s life, she’s always arranging things for her guests, always making their stays even better, or she’s in the kitchen doing her magic. Make sure to eat from the guesthouse’s menu as often as you can, the dishes are delicious and heartwarming. The food is one of the aspects that made me feel home here. The room had all amenities I could wish for, there are many shops and eateries nearby and Assi ghat, the usual southern starting point to explore the river and its ghats, is not even a 10-minutes walk from the guesthouse. Should I return to Varanasi one day, I can only wish Sona and her family have one of their rooms available. I wouldn’t want to stay anywhere else. For now though, I cherish the tea spices Sona prepared for me as a reminder of her hospitality. Above and beyond! Helpful, warm, attentive, capable and service-minded.

I had a wonderful experience staying at Hotel Shri Shiva Homestay during my visit to Varanasi. The rooms were neat, clean, and well-maintained, with all the basic amenities provided. The location is perfect — peaceful yet close to all major attractions like the Ghat and Kashi Vishwanath Temple. What truly made my stay memorable was the warm hospitality of the host and staff. They were always ready to help, whether it was arranging transport, guiding me for local sightseeing, or even suggesting good places to eat. It felt like a home away from home. I would highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Varanasi — solo travelers, families, or couples. Great value for money and a very positive experience overall!
