Guest Houses in Bodh Gaya

It’s basic and authentic. Keeps you safe, and the family are lovely

Really good central location and fairly clean. Nice owner.

Location, staff, environment, everything

I as a lonely women travelling alone. Felt super comfortable. it is clean, the hosts are helpful. The place has it own kitchen, can be nice if you are planning to stay for a longer time. can definitely recommend!

If you want to experience the local culture while supporting a good cause, this is the place to do so! We felt very welcome in the family and as we visited during the festival we got taken along to all the ceremonies the festival entails. This was a truly unique experience which we are very happy to have been a part of. Furthermore the guesthouse is next to the school it supports so you can easily pay a visit there too. The place is just outside of town, so this gives some peace from the busy city. But it can be reached easily by tuktuk (although you might need to help a bit with the navigation) from the temple area of bodh gaya. The guesthouse serves a simple but delicious breakfast and dinner as well as an assortment of hot drinks. Beds are basic but comfortable, so is the shower with reliable hot water. The guesthouse can also arrange other touristic excursions or transportation with a good driver and comfortable car. They are however not the cheapest option in this category.

I liked the rooms and surroundings.

Clean and new room and bathroom. Good Wi-Fi. Liked the location, quiet enough for good sleep. The owner was friendly and responsive. 15-20 minutes walk to Mahabodhi temple. Shared tuk tuk to Gaya Junction is 400 metres away, 50 rupees only.

Very calm and peaceful clean guest house. good place for single lady and familyas well . Kitchen was available. Helpfull staff,all places near by.

The property is new, it was clean and spacious. The Mahabodhi Temple is nearby.

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.
