Good to Know Before You Book
Air conditioning matters here, so please read this before you book. AC may be used between 8:00 PM and 8:00 AM, and during the day only while you are in the room, with 24°C to 26°C recommended. Doors and windows should stay closed while it runs, and the AC, lights and fans switched off when leaving a room. Continuous or excessive use beyond these hours will incur an additional charge, so fair usage is appreciated. Power cuts are common in parts of Varanasi, so the AC may not run during an outage depending on the backup. Bedroom 4 does not have an en-suite and uses a separate bathroom. Smoking is not permitted inside the air-conditioned rooms. Quiet hours are 22:00 to 07:00. Check-in is completed in person, with a host on site to welcome you. One well-behaved pet is welcome, so please add this to your booking. There is a security camera at the property exterior.

A few notes on the air conditioning, which matters here in Varanasi. It may be used between 8:00 PM and 8:00 AM, and during the day only while you are in the room. A setting of 24°C to 26°C works best. Please keep doors and windows closed while it runs, and switch off the AC, lights and fans when you leave a room. Please don`t adjust the AC controls yourself; if you notice any noise, leakage or low cooling, just let me know and I`ll sort it. Power cuts are common in parts of the city, so the AC may not run during an outage depending on the backup. Continuous or excessive use beyond the stated hours will incur an additional charge, so fair usage is appreciated. Please switch the AC off and secure the room before check-out.

Please respect quiet hours between 22:00 and 07:00.

Maximum 16 guests; the listed capacity is the absolute limit and includes any visitors.

Please treat the space with care and leave it as you would hope to find it.
