"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.

Top Mahakala Caves Hotel Reviews

Welcomhotel By ITC Hotels Bodh Gaya Hotel & Convention Centre

10/10 Excellent

"Very accommodating staff: we reached early afternoon and they stored our luggage so that we could go out and visit places. We ate all meals in the restaurant—the staff was super friendly and food was great (they prepared non spicy vegetarian food for us, exactly as we wanted)."

Ramada by Wyndham Bodh Gaya Mahabodhi

8/10 Good

"Great location. Great price. Slow dining service and restaurant. The hotel has Great infrastructure. Could be maintained better."

Marasa Sarovar Premiere Bodhgaya

10/10 Excellent

"Above my expectations! Beautiful and recharging."

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

10/10 Excellent

"Good staff no pool"

Niranjana Hotel

"Breakfast was the best "
