Offering a garden and river view, Ansari House is set in Bodh Gaya, 2.6 km from Mahabodhi Temple and 2.6 km from Bodh Gaya Bus Station. This homestay offers free private parking, a 24-hour front desk and free WiFi. The accommodation features airport transfers, while a bicycle rental service is also available.

It is a beautiful homestay, owned by a very kind and welcoming family. The house is a bit outside the craziness of Bodhgaya, yet still very close to the main touristic points, which I found to be a perfect mix. I hope to come back!

The standard of cleanliness is almost Japanese throughout the house. There was a desk and chair to work on with many electrical points. Room had AC and ceiling fan, but the latter was sufficient in February. The room also had a balcony. Laundry facilities. The owners are an amazing family who can communicate in English, Hindi and Japanese.

The location is walking distance to restaurants and temples. Room was.perfectly clean, and the AC was great! I would recommend for single travelers or couples. Wonderful and welcoming family that owns the homestay. Mahalo for our stay Trevor and Brittany- Honolulu, Hawaii

Located within 1.9 km of Mahabodhi Temple and 1.6 km of Bodh Gaya Bus Station in Bodh Gaya, Gaurav guest house features accommodation with seating area. This guest house provides free private parking, a 24-hour front desk and free WiFi. The accommodation offers airport transfers, while a bicycle rental service is also available.

If you are looking for a hotel with excellent facilities and conveniently located close to the sprawling pilgrimage town of Bodhgaya, I highly recommend Gaurav Guest House. During my recent stay (March 2023), I was impressed by the comfortable rooms, good amenities, and friendly hosts who went out of their way to ensure my trip was enjoyable. One of the standout features of this hotel is its location. It is close to Mahabodhi Temple Complex. Some temples are just a stone's throw away, but not in the centre of the bustle of the crowded area, making it the perfect base to explore the city. So everything is within easy reach whether you are interested in pilgrimage or shopping. The guest house itself is well-appointed, with spacious and comfortable rooms. The beds are cosy and provide a good night's sleep without disturbing noises. Free Wi-Fi speed is good. They also have parking space. I went with my parents, and they also found the guest house suitable for their liking. What really sets this hotel apart is the friendly and attentive hosts. We went there during Holi festival week. So many temples and shops were closed. But the guest house staff provided valuable information so we could visit the temples during the limited open hours. They speak English fluently and are always on hand to provide guidance and advice on the best things to see and do in the area. If you plan to visit Bodhgaya, especially if you are someone like me who plans a trip without a guide or travel agency. Finding safe and friendly accommodation when planning a trip can be challenging. Finding a hotel with a sense of friendliness and safety, where your well-being is a top priority and genuine hospitality is extended, can significantly enhance your travel experience. That's why I highly recommend Gaurav Guest House.

    It's cheap, spacious, quiet (there was only one other guest), family-run, in the village. Local people doing their own stuff. The hard bed was good to me. There's a kitchen with a refrigerator and a small cooker to use. By paying more attention to few aspects and adding few more services, Sujata Buddha Homestay can be really appealing for travellers who look for accommodation off the tourist zone but still at a reasonable distance from the main attractions.

    The homestay was situated near Mahabodhi Bihar, just a short walk from the Bihar and other eateries. I chose this place because they offered an early morning checkin. Sunita aunty was very warm with us. The room and bed linens were clean, and the AC worked fine. We were provided with necessary amenities such as tissues, soaps, glasses, and even mosquito nets. My mom really enjoyed the experience.

    We loved this place! The room and even the bathroom were so clean! Love the minimalistic style of everything and the high ceilings, it's really a nice place to stay! About the location, what many people mention: there is nothing wrong with the road, you can easily drive here. If you have any issues with locals living outside the hotel, then don't visit Bodh Gaya!
