"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

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."

Welcomhotel By ITC Hotels Bodh Gaya Hotel & Convention Centre

10/10 Excellent

"Great service Amazing ambience Tasty food Very clean rooms Great for families"

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"

The Supreme Hotel and Banquet

10/10 Excellent

"This is normal India... inside a property all is clean...the streets are terrible... the poor people live in horrible ways and the people who are well do a blind eye... I hope someday this country does better... it is not a problem of money... they have lots of money... but they do not see it as a priority"

Narayans Residency

10/10 Excellent

"Very responsive owner, clean room, quiet space, having access to a washing machine a real perk. Such a nice family, a real pleasant stay. Definitely recommend. "
