Location and facilities

Very friendly and helpful host, good and comfy room for local standards

The AC didn't work too well, hot water not readily available, room was not completely mosquito-proof. Only after negotiation I got a fair price for extending my stay on site (compared to booking.com rate)

Staffs were helpful.

Mr. Seyd and the staff at Rajhat Maranao made our stay in Bodh Gaya very comfortable and my wife and I both felt at home. The apartment is located on a quiet and safe street. It is conveniently located near the Mahabodhi temple (short walking distance) and easy to find transportation to other city attractions both in Bodh Gaya/Gaya. The location is good to access from both the Gaya airport and Gaya train station. The room and bathroom were very clean. We appreciated the provided amenities and room clean up on request. Mr. Seyd is a very kind and hospitable host, inviting us for tea and coffee at every encounter. We tremendously enjoyed our conversations with him. It is the perfect stay for your visit to Bodh Gaya.

The location was great - just a 5 minute walk to the Mahabodhi stupa, and my room was clean and comfortable. The staff were friendly and kindly allowed me a very late checkout, as my train was departing in the evening.

We had an amazing 8-night stay at Rajhat Marano House, and it truly exceeded our expectations in every way. From the seamless pre-arrival arrangements to the warm hospitality throughout our stay, everything was well taken care of. Pre-Arrival & Check-in: The host helped arrange our airport transfer and transportation for two days of excursions, making our trip hassle-free from the start. Accommodation & Facilities: Our room was excellent—sparkling clean, well-maintained, and equipped with both AC and a fan, an attached bathroom, and all the basic amenities we needed. Accessibility was a plus, with an elevator available to reach our floor. Location & Surroundings: Rajhat Marano House is located in a peaceful neighborhood, yet it is conveniently close to everything. The Maha Bodhi Temple is less than 200m away (a 5-minute walk via the Bodhgaya Gov Hospital shortcut, accessible from 5 AM to 9 PM). Plenty of eateries—including cafes, food stalls, restaurants, and bakeries—are within the same walking distance, making it easy to explore the locals. Hospitality: The host was incredibly attentive and helpful with all our requests, making us feel right at home. What made our stay even more special was the host’s warm accommodation of our interest in local delicacies, which led us to privately name our favorite food gathering spot as “Osama Kitchen.” The highlight of every meal? A humble yet comforting cup of chai, never failing to delight us! Overall, Rajhat Marano House provided a wonderful stay with top-notch hospitality, great location, and excellent accommodations. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Bodhgaya!

Check-in at the reception was smooth, though it could be improved by offering an option to complete the guest details with eform prior to arrival to shorten the process.
