It probably depends on the hotel or guesthouse. I booked twice on-line with no problems. A few guesthouses didn't reply so I tried another one. When I arrived, if I wanted to book ahead I would just phone from the place I was in to book ahead. Phone calls are cheap when you arrive.

I would ring,I had similar problems with email and just ended up ringing and then emailing after i made contact.It probably depends how much time you have before you go.

Nothing new from me: When I'm in India, I call. Quicker, and cheap. Sometimes the hotel/guesthouse/whatever then asks me to email details to them. So if you are in India, call the hotel/guesthouse. (Calling does have its challenges such as ever changing telephone numbers, but that's the topic of another thread.)


If you're not, and you have the time, email (or fill in the form), wait for a week or two, email again, or try another one - lots of hotels/guesthouses in Delhi/Varanasi.

(I emailed three boarding houses a few days ago, and - no replies!)
