shangrila stay, hotel in Gaya

Boasting garden views, shangrila stay features accommodation with balcony, around 2 km from Mahabodhi Temple. Featuring a shared kitchen, this property also provides guests with a picnic area.

I had a brilliant stay and would highly recommend. The host was very kind, helping me book a new train to Varanasi at short notice after my reservation was rejected and also move my room to the back which was quieter. The rooftop has a great view and the breakfast was delicious

Marina Home Stay, hotel in Gaya

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.

My stay at Marina Homestay was one of my highlights of my India trip and I can highly recommend this stay to any foreigner looking for a clean and budget friendly stay. The room was spacious, clean, and had everything I needed. The best part was the helpfulness and friendliness of the staff. They helped me organise a complicated transportation to another city, took me to the city of Bodh Gaya with a motorbike and even invited me for breakfast and dinner. They also invited me to visit a local school which was a very cool experience.

The host and his lovely family made our stay in Bodh Gaya exceptional. They were super nice, caring and nothing was an issue. The room was clean, comfortable and we even had hot water, which is pretty rare in India. They also had a spacious rooftop where you can practice yoga like we did. And his family's chai was amazing! Can't recommend this place enough

    The rooms were spacious and clean, Gulshan and his family are amazing hosts and very gracious. Not only did they make great food for us in amounts that could fill the stomachs of a flock of elephants but they were overall very helpful and most of all we enjoyed their presence and company. Very nice people and very nice Homestay. Hope to see you again❤️
