Guest Reviews
- Cynthia (6/5): No lo recomiendo - La cama era cómodo. Debes andar en la casa sin zapatos. La cocina es de uso común y cuando llegamos estaba toda sucia. Además andaban ratones en ella. Al principio teníamos baño privado, decidimos cambiar pieza por que necesitábamos ventana, la cual no tenía l anterior. El baño nos tocó de uso comunitario, en los 4 días jamás lo limpiaron no sacaron el basurero para limpiarlo. El refrigerador están sucio. Al segundo di el tato. Se metió a nuestra pieza y tuvimos que pedir ayuda para sacarlos. La verdad no volvería a alojar ahí. Los basureros en general siempre estaban a tope y más de basura en tema d e limpieza muy mal. Mal limpieza. Personal dormía en la sala de estar.

- Arthur (10/5): Friendly host and clean big rooms - Had an amazing stay at Mandakini! Nothing
- kunito (8/5): - ・清潔で設備が充実していた。
・従業員がきちんとしていた。 ・ドライヤーがあると尚良かった。
・決済端末の不具合でカード払いが出来なかった。英語の堪能な従業員を呼んで説明してくれた。結局、現金で支払ったが、丁寧な謝罪があり納得して宿を出た。

- Srijit (10/5): Exceptional -
- Shashi (10/5): Exceptional - Good place to stay Location is at small street.but that is normal in Varanasi
- Tintu (9/5): Superb - The property is within walking distance of Kashi Vishwanath Temple (around 30 minutes). While the listed check-in time is 9:30 AM, we had to wait until 11 AM as the previous guests had not vacated the room. However, the receptionist was very helpful—he allowed us to use the bathroom to freshen up and assisted us in navigating the area since we were unfamiliar with it.
There is no breakfast provided, but Swiggy and Zomato are available for food delivery. He also kindly offered us tea. One thing we overlooked during booking was that the room does not have an attached bathroom. While the room itself was comfortable, having an attached bathroom would have made the stay even better.
Additionally, there were a lot of monkeys around the property, and when we tried to step out, they became a bit of a nuisance. Thankfully, the receptionist helped us get rid of them, which we really appreciated.
We are from Kerala and were visiting Varanasi for the first time. Overall, it was a pleasant stay, and we would recommend this place to anyone visiting the city.
- Acharya (9/5): Mandakini Home Stay provided a clean, comfortable, and welcoming experience—thank you for your warm hospitality and kind - Mandakini Home Stay in Varanasi offers a clean, comfortable, and welcoming environment.

- Sunil (6/5): Not meet expectation as per reviews - Location is good As it mentioned as a home stay .
.
It is not a home stay care taker who will always be there with us if you use the kitchen.
Caretaker saying that we can use only for coffee and milk not for lunch and dinner.
And especially for washroom it is not combined one .
Wash room they provide for us it not up to the mark .
We paided for 1 night 4k ok included taxes.
My personal suggestion not up to mark

- Dhaval (8/5): Very good -
- M (9/5): Superb - We very much thank Deepak Gupta for excellent facilities. We felt like in home.If he can provide window with glass doors and curtains instead of closing with wooden board, it will be excellent for seeing sun light in winters now and then.We also thank Mr.Vishal for his services.
