Located 2.1 km from Mahabodhi Temple, Momotaro House offers a shared lounge, and accommodation with a balcony and free WiFi. It is set 1.5 km from Thai Monastery and provides a shared kitchen.

The rooms were very spacious and clean. The owner was very helpful and welcoming. Location is a bit far from the city in a village area but I liked the peaceful and quite surrounding.

Situated in Bodh Gaya, Marina Home Stay is a recently renovated accommodation, 3.3 km from Mahabodhi Temple and 2.5 km from Bodh Gaya Bus Station.

Everything was great about Marina Homestay and ended up staying for many days. It’s a nice place in a spacious open field, though the most impressive thing was the staff and owners they are an inspirational family and I felt warmly welcomed which was a delightful surprise. There was group from Thailand staying there who were also very friendly and welcoming too which all contributed to my stay and wholesome experience of Bodh Gaya after 20 years since my first visit there… Marina home stay is a little away from the main Maha Bodhi temple but this means that it’s a quiet peaceful place and there are some local temples close by like the 21 Tara Devi temple which is exquisite. So really Marina home stay was perfect for me and well recommended. Thank you 👁️🙏👁️

    Probably our best stay in all of India! We arrived in Gaya on the train after 3am. Sumit the owner waited for us to arrive and helped us navigate with our tuk tuk driver from the station. 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

    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.

    This was a really friendly little homestay and excellent value for money. It's only a few minutes walk from various places to eat, and about 10-15 mins walk from the temples around town.

    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!

    This is the type of place you can stay to decompress for a long time, there is much less motor traffic on this side of the dry river and it has the homestay vibe here. Laundry and good food available.
