Rooms are very clean and well maintained. It’s nearby to all major temples and tourist spots. The host was very kind and helpful and also guide you on how to travel to the tourist spots.
Camera semplice accogliente pulita, Host fantastico e davvero gentile, ha saputo accoglierci e rendere la permanenza in città piacevole. Appena arrivati hanno offerto una pietanza calda a mia sorella che stava poco bene e Avevamo anche della biancheria e ci hanno fatto la gentilezza di lavarci i panni prima di lasciare la struttura, sono stati dolcissimi!! 😍Struttura consigliata poco distante dalla via principale e dai ghat , raggiungibili anche a piedi. Un grazie speciale!! Tornassi a Varanasi sicuramente mi appoggerei nuovamente a ancora un grazie speciale 🥰🫶🇮🇳
Direi che ci sarebbe poco di negativo, ci ha fatto sentire sicure e davvero tranquille, forse sarebbe da aggiungere qualche strumento in più per la zona comune/cucina ma per brevi soggiorni è perfetto !
It is near Kalabhairava temple, 1.2 km by walk from Kashi viswanath temple.
The host is very kind and is willing to help you 24/7! We had a very nice stay here. The room and bathroom are clean and the room has an AC.
The place is very cozy in the city center and equally distant from the temple to be visited and the ghats. To escape from the heavy traffic of the city, it's better to live in the middle so that you can walk in the narrow lanes of varanasi, exploring its rich culture. The host is very attentive for all kinds of services insured and extended his help and guidance for the itinerary of varanasi visit. They even plan a city trip for you on the package basis. The place is very safe and family oriented. Even for the solo female traveller it reached my expectation. They also have freshly home cooked food served in your room on order.
The best thing about this place is it's in the middle of the city and you will get public transport any time you want. The host is very cooperative and helpful. He is even available for any kind of help at odd times on a single message. I am really happy with the homestay services. The room is comfortable. They also have the option of home cooked food, which is very tasty.
The location was close by the main temple and ghat. The host was very helpful and welcoming.
We overpaid for the size of the room and facilities. It was on the higher end. Basic amenities like toiletries were not refilled, there was a lack of space in the room + bathroom for hanging/keeping things.
The host was extremely welcoming and accomodating, helped out with the places and the routes. Great location of the hoemstay, all major attractions are at a walking distance
Everything is excellent. Neat & Clean room. manager is very helpful 👌
Location is near to kashi vishwanth , all ghats and kaal bhairav temple.
I cannot think of anything.
The host is too friendly and kind😇😇 he invited us to his sister’s wedding on the same day.. Helpful and kind. Room is too neat and comfortable
A perfectly located homestay in the old part of town with a welcoming atmosphere. The room had all the essentials, and the host was incredibly helpful. Highly recommend.
Caretakers were very friendly

I travelled from Mumbai to Banaras with my child, and we had a very pleasant stay. The homestay room was clean, tidy, and well-equipped with all the necessary facilities. Everything was thoughtfully arranged, and the room looked exactly as shown in the pictures on the website. The location was easy to find and just a short walk from the Kal Bhairav Temple. The Kashi Vishwanath Temple was also conveniently located within 1.5 km. The host was extremely cooperative and responded promptly to all our queries. My child and I had a comfortable and enjoyable experience. Thank you so much for the wonderful hospitality..
Amazing host…perfect place to stay near temple and this property is a heritage property…. And situated in old varanasi..24/7 accessible….pure heart host…really such a wonderful place… And I like the home made food ….which is 100%fresh and hygiene….really appreciated…must recommended..do visit…👍
We had a great stay! The room is very comfortable with good amenities, and the location is near most sites of interest. The best part of staying here was our host, he was very kind and always willing to help us with anything we might need, providing recommendations, and making sure we were comfortable. He even invited us to join his friend's wedding, which was a wonderful experience. Also, great lassis!
You could probably find similar value for less money, but this was not an issue for us. Also, it is nice to know that there is no common area.
Perfectly climatized room with plenty of space for a couple. In a calm street with a medium walk to get to the river and see the cremation site and see the locals life which we truly appreciated. They even let us let our bags during the day of the check out in the room which we truly appreciated. Thank you for the stay :)
Location is great, very central. The host is kind, very helpful and attentive. If you need advice or a taxi, he's there to help you.
The room is a bit dark and there is no proper common area, but this is quite common.
We had a wonderful stay at SS Homestay, Varanasi. Our host, Abhishek, was incredibly helpful and felt more like a dear friend than a host. He suggested several great things to do, which really helped us plan our short visit efficiently. He was warm and welcoming from the moment we arrived, and went out of his way to assist us—including helping us buy authentic Banarasi sarees and local sweets. He shared so much valuable information that made our experience richer and more meaningful. The best part? He was available at any time of the day whenever we needed help. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Varanasi!
We had a great time here. The host was super nice and cared a lot about us, gave us a bunch of good tips on what to do in Varanasi - and we enjoyed the chats with him. The room was clean, matress very comfortable and the homecooked food delicious. We highly recommend this little gem in Varanasi.
❤️🙏🏼Host is so so helpful and provides many suggestions of what to do and where to eat. Our wellbeing was his top priority the entire time and he went above and beyond to ensure we had a good experience. The rooms and bathrooms were clean and comfortable. Tucked away in a quiet street away from the chaos. Was great to come back mid-day to refresh. We felt safe and relaxed. They also have super delicious home cooking on offer! Very convenient. Highly recommend
The stay was really good, especially the amenities and service. Abhishek Jaiswal was the best host — always just a call away, super helpful, and made sure everything was perfect. Truly appreciated his warm hospitality!
Host was very soft spoken, I really loved my stay there. Its very close to Kaal Bhairav Mandir, and walking distance from Manikarnika ghat
Super helpful host with nice recommendations. Pretty easy access to the ghats.
In quite a lively neighbourhood of varanasi with busy traffic to get to and from. We found this a bit tiring, but it is outside of the control of our host. The homestay was as expected and true to the photos.
The host of this place is very sweet and kind. He welcomed me although I arrived very late due to train delays. Host was very accommodating and willing to help. There is a small kitchen but I didn't see other common areas that appear in the listing.
The bed was uncomfortable: the host is so attentive he bought a new mattress when he heard of my sleepless night, so this should not be a problem anymore. The room is a little smaller than expected: the photos make it look different. Auto rickshaws don't go to this area, so a bit difficult if you have luggage.
Perfect room with no disturbance and self cooking shared kitchen also available with all the facilities. Very very satisfied.
The host is very helpful and a nice person. He helped with my mother's food. The room was clean. The bathroom was neat. The location was close to the temples though not very close.
It was a more of a roomstay and not a homestay. I booked looking at the kitchen but there was none. At this price point for a homestay, I expected the property to have a TV, a common area, a balcony to dry the clothes, a kitchen so that I could cook my food.
The homestay offers a warm, family-friendly atmosphere with a peaceful ambiance. The bedroom is cozy, providing a restful retreat, while the bathroom is modern and well-equipped. Conveniently located within walking distance of key attractions like the Manikarnika Ghat (cremation ground) and the Vishwanath Temple, it’s an ideal base for exploring Varanasi. The host is incredibly welcoming, attentive, and helpful. In addition to our great conversations, he kindly shared recommendations for places to visit and dine, enhancing our experience. I highly recommend this homestay to anyone seeking a tranquil and authentic stay in Varanasi.
Great host, very helpful and considerate. Convenient room with private bathroom and shower (hot water). Excellent home cooked food fir order. Small kitchen facilities for guest use. Perfect location near main Shiva (Kaal Bhairav) temple and 7 min walk to the Ganges (Panchaganga Ghat).
The location is at a walkable distance from both the Kaal Bhairav temple as well as Kashi Vishwanath temple. The host was extremely helpful n provided necessary guidance with regard to temple darshan as well as good eateries nearby. He went extra mile to help us board cab to airport amidst chaotic traffic as it was a festive season!
Very friendly environment , with good host
Nothing like that
It was a great experience
Very neat and clean place. Courteous and helpful host.
Location in old Waranasi city center. Small room but kind of clean like for India circumstances. Very helpful owner that's a big plus.
We stayed at S.s Homestay for 3 nights. Abhis, the host, was extremely helpful with us and kind. He helped us with some health issues we had and we are really grateful for that🙏 The room was clean and there was hot water in the bathroom!
The mattress was a bit too hard, if that's an issue for some people. We want to be fair, so the truth is that there were some misunderstandings with the owner on some issues.(A boat trip, a visit to a place with fabrics, etc). There were moments of doubt, but in the end all good. There was no natural light and air in the room. Actually there were windows but we didn't feel comfortable opening them because the streets outside were dirty.
Very nice place to stay Warm and helpful owner and his family
Vehicles do not reach and need to walk for some distance with all the luggage
I stayed with my mother there for four days,very homely place,food is very tasty, walkable distance to kalabhairava temple and kasi temple.Host abhishek is very helpful,he guided us for exploring local places and food.highly recommended if your looking for a homely atmosphere.we felt at home if we visit varanasi again we will surely choose this place
The location was perfect. Kal bhairav and kashi vishwanath was on walking distance. Host was friendly and providing us help at each and every step. Food was homemade, clean and hygeinic. Room was clean.
It was clean and host was really good and friendly
had an exceptional stay. From the moment I arrived, the service was impeccable, with friendly and attentive staff ensuring every need was met. The room was spotlessly clean, and equipped with top-notch amenities. The facilities, were equally impressive. Overall, it was a truly memorable experience, and I highly recommend it for anyone seeking comfort, homely and outstanding service.
Great Owner, Very helpful, great hospitality and very caring. City location is very good all the destinations are at walking distance.
Less facility, neighbours hood of the stay is very dirty.
The cleanliness of the property. However reaching the property was a bit tough but the host was kind enough to provide us with exact location as it was not clear on google maps. The host was kind enough to provide us with snacks and tea which charged us after our long journey. It had heater and water heater as well.
It would have been better if we would have been provided with towels.
The host, Abhishek was extremely helpful in guiding us how to go about the city, and was available all the time to clarify any doubts that we had. The room including the washroom was very clean and tidy. We had a great time altogether!
The room was really clean and well-equipped. It is ultra centric in the old town of Varanasi. Also the host was fantastically nice and helpful. I can only recommend 100% this great homestay. Thanks again!
It was an amazing trip I like the hospitality. And the owner of this place are amazing. It's just make my stay became so much better. I would recomend this place to others if they are visiting varanasi and all the places are so nearby.
The SS Homestay is a lovely little oasis of calm amongst the intense spirit of Varanasi. The room is very clean, private, and comfortable. Prashant and his family are incredibly friendly and hospitable. They are so attentive to the needs of the guest. As a huge bonus, the home-cooked Indian meals are cheap, wholesome, and delicious. I highly recommend SS Homestay.
I recently stayed at a S.S. homestay in Varanasi and had the best experience. The host, Abhishek, was incredibly helpful, guiding me around the city and helping plan my itinerary. The location is excellent, with major attractions like the Ghats nearby. The rooms were very clean, and the washrooms were hygienic. Overall, it's the best homestay and great value for money. Highly recommended!
The homestay is in accessible distance with each place that needs to be visited mainly in Varanasi. Kala Bhairav Mandir is just a walk away. The room and washroom are very clean and the photos shown on the website are exactly the same as they are. The owners are very helpful. The owner (Abhishek Jaiswal) responded for each and every msg or call at any time. We can reach the place even during midnights easily. As we both are girls staying in this homestay, we thought that autos would not be available at night. But we can reach the place at any time in the night too.
