From the warm welcome to the comfortable rooms, and from the excellent service to the prime location, everything was simply fabulous. I couldn't find a single thing that I didn't like.... evrything was good about d stay...!!

Clean, net rooms and building in general. Generous help and service from the owners.

The host and his lovely family made our stay in Bodh Gaya exceptional. They were super nice, caring and nothing was an issue. The room was clean, comfortable and we even had hot water, which is pretty rare in India. They also had a spacious rooftop where you can practice yoga like we did. And his family's chai was amazing! Can't recommend this place enough

Very clean, nice staff, comfortable

The owner was too humble and very good

The place was clean and near the main attractions . The host was very good and responsive. Only thing to keep in mind if you go during summer or during warm weather go for the AC room only , without AC it is not recommended as it gets very humid .

All good , value for money.

The guest house is perfectly located, near enough Maha Bodhi temple and yet in a quiet area. Sumit was a very professional and caring host. He helped me arrange holy sites tours and even took me himself to Mahakal Cave with his bike. He also arranged laundry service. Absolutely recommend this guest house for Bodh Gaya visit.

It was “ok”

We arrived at the place at late night, we had booked a room with outside bathroom but he prepared another one instead because he assumed that we had made a mistake, and because of that he also canceled the booking without us knowing, then he convinced us to take the more expensive room because it was only 200 rupees more, and we accepted, at the end we stayed for 4 nights, 3 of them really uncomfortable because of the heat and the mosquitoes, but you get what you pay right? That was our thought, just that we ended up staying long time in Bodhgaya and guess what? They charge basically double the price of the average for Bodhgaya and the guy even had the nerve to suggest that we where lucky because in high season he charges 4.000 rupees for a non AC room which clearly doesn’t worth it, I am making an honest review because I don’t want low budget Travellers or long term ones to get scammed, yes you may threat host in a good way and be helpful (which is the minimum you spect from a place), but not because of that you should charge double of the fair price. Imagine our surprise when we asked in around 6 more guests houses and we realized that by that price we could have gotten an AC room double big and with balcony. Most of the Travellers come for short periods of time to India so they don’t really bother to compare or just don’t care about what they pay, maybe also assume that as foreigners we should be scammed, but I am making an honest review because I don’t see any single complaint around here and it is needed. There are honest guest houses around Bodhgaya and you should support such businesses. By the price we were charged is unbelievable that we didn’t even got a towel or a blanket. Is just an honest review
