"Would like to have at least one item that represents the local cuisine. There were none. It is high time that hotels - at least the hotels at this price and comfort range - get rid of the little plastic bottles of shampoo, conditioner etc. and bar soap. So much wastage. We were in fact very surprised that the liquid soap, shampoo, conditioner dispensers were not there. Had only one little soap bar in the whole bathroom. We were two occupants. No soap in shower. Very unhygienic. Liquid...

Top Mahakala Caves Hotel Reviews

Marasa Sarovar Premiere Bodhgaya

10/10 Excellent

"Above my expectations! Beautiful and recharging."

Ramada by Wyndham Bodh Gaya Mahabodhi

10/10 Excellent

"Clean, room service was good, overall stay was pleasant."

Welcomhotel By ITC Hotels Bodh Gaya Hotel & Convention Centre

8/10 Good

"I did the mistake to book the room with 2 single beds, those beds were actually so very small, I had the feeling to do some camping. Also I wasn't too lucky with the shower, I stayed 2 nights and on the 2nd day, imposibl to get hot water, no choice than going to the breakfast unshowered... Air conditioning was litl hard to master, either on = too cold, either switched off, too hot.... Wifi otherwise, perfect, same as the location, perfect. Front staff and door staff otherwise not very helpful at all, I had to find my own street transportation to the airport, never mind. Breakfast was fantastic with lots of choices and delicious options, also all staff at the restaurant very friendly and helpful, especially also very very big help and excellent service from Aman Mishra at the restaurant."

The Supreme Hotel and Banquet

10/10 Excellent

"This property is a gem in Gaya for those looking for a clean and safe place to stay. The staff were very friendly and the restaurant on the property had a good menu. Overall, a good choice for all types of visitors."

The Fern Residency Bodhgaya, Series by Marriott

10/10 Excellent

"I am fully satisfied with staff. Their hospitality is excellent. Same feedback for cleanliness. Safe area."

Hotel Viraat Inn

8/10 Good

"They say you get what you paid for. This is the epitome of its kind. A rather run down hotel in a bustly city street next to a main line station. It is great if you wish to bed somewhere and heading to the railway the very next day (very noisy and dirty in the streets). Room has no A/C and availability of other amenities is silch."

The Bodhi Palace Resort

10/10 Excellent

"A great little hotel for big events like weddings so on. We found the rooms small but comfortable and clean. Nicely situated on a main road between airport and Boydgaya. Any foreign visitors beware. The tu-tu from hotel to market (Domuhan) costs 10 ruppies for locals but 100 for you. There are no bus, uber or ola, so figure this in your budget. If you fancy Indian curry the resort's own restaurant could step in competently. When we were there it chaotic and dusty outside deal to heavy road works and traffics."

Hotel Star Bodhgaya
