Unfortunately Varanasi is very crowded at the moment and the hotels I contacted were already booked out. So I hoped the best and made a reservation at Uma On the phone they... More

I came to this guest house under the pretence of its great reviews on Trip Advisor but it turned out to be a [--]. I arrived there after struggling through crowded alleyways filled with festival attendees. The owner made no effort to assist with navigating through the streets to his inn/home. Instead, he called me telling me how he had... More

I stayed few days in Uma, it's run by a nice family, you fell comfortable with them. Boloo take great care of your needs and gave us good advice during our time in Vanarasi. They have few really clean rooms and a nice roof top with monkeys

This is a small family house only 5 minutes away from the river. As an alone woman-traveller, I really enjoyed staying at Uma. Safe and clean. Balu, the son of the family and the "manager" of the guesthouse is a very trustable and friendly person. He organizes nice boat tours. I highly suggest to take a boat tour in the... More

Finding it was hard enough, but once you get there you must ascend three, narrow, steep sets of stairs before reaching the upper level, where all of the guest rooms are located. Ours was beautifully decorated, but that is where all glamor ended. The owner sternly told us... More
