Soujourn at Sujata Village
Pros:

It has been very nice to be host of this happy and peaceful family
It is a big house situated in the Sujata Village, just outside Bodhgaya,
so it is a quiet and beautiful place, surrounded by fields
Also the air is very good
The room was large and with a balcony and two windows
They provide a food of very good quality, also because
they grows themselves the fruit and the vegetables
So thank you to the family of Islam and Guri to have me hosted,
and make me feel part of their Life

Cons:

The place is a little far from the town, but that is in the truth,
something better, because it quieter and the air quality is very good
You can anyway take a autorickshow, that for only 10, 20 rupees
can take you to the town
It is situated beyond the Niranjana River, where on its banks
the Buddha has meditated for years
It is so, indeed a very peaceful place
In the village there is also the Sujata Stupa,
and the Sujata Temple, that they are also worth visiting

Pros:

To miejsce jest pięknym doświadczeniem samym w sobie, pobyt przewyższył wszelkie nasze oczekiwania. Rodzina Ansari jest ciepła, troskliwa i przecudna. Dużo bardziej ceniliśmy czas spędzony w Ansari House niż okoliczne wycieczki. Z całego serca polecam każdemu komu zależy żeby zaznać czegoś więcej niż zameldowania i wymeldowania z obiektu.

Pros:

Favourite place to stay in Bodh Gaya. Peaceful and away from the noise and crowd. On a local rikshaw for 10-20 rupees, you can get from here to the Mahabodhi Temple. Or you can walk 20-30 minutes. Delicious home food for a good price.

Nice family home
Pros:

I really like the location. I like to stay outside of town where it's quiet and fewer people more locals and a great walk to the attractions. The walk is around 20 to 30 minutes to the main temple, which is nice because you walk through a small village and across a bridge. So, there are plenty of nice views along the way.

Cons:

Not really

Miglior qualità-prezzo a Bodh Gaya
Pros:

L'ostello è il più economico in Bodh Gaya, inoltre e situato lungo il fiume, lontano dal caos cittadino, immerso nella natura, ha un Terrazzo molto ampio nel quale ci si può rilassare, ammirare sul tempio di Mahabodhi, oppure deliziarsi con del cibo. L'ostello è provvisto di una cucina, il cibo è davvero molto genuino, credo sia il cibo più genuino che ho mangiato in due mesi di India, ed anche ad un buon prezzo. Ho soggiornato in un dormitorio da 12 letti, eravamo solo in due quindi il soggiorno è stato molto piacevole.
Il prezzo è imbattibile, è uno dei prezzi più bassi che ho pagato per un dormitorio in India.

Cons:

Se fosse stata alta stagione, e il dormitorio fosse stato pieno, credo che non mi sarebbe piaciuto affatto perché i letti sono appiccicati l'uno all'altro e non c'è spazio dove mettere zaino o vestiti, inoltre avrebbe fatto molto caldo se fosse stato pieno. Fortunatamente la mia esperienza è stata col dormitorio vuoto, ed è stato meraviglioso, non ha fatto mai caldo, bastava il ventilatore a soffitto per rinfrescare l'aria.

horrible
Pros:

nothing

Cons:

When I said I wanted to go to the Buddha cave, they said they would take me there on a motorbike for 1000 rupees. The father and son worked together to try to convince me. However, if you check it out properly, you will find that it costs about 100 rupees. They intended to scam me from the beginning. They also made me pay an extra night's fee without my permission. If I hadn't warned them, I would have been scammed. I don't know how much they have been scammed without my knowledge. If you don't like that, you shouldn't stay here. They are a family that embodies the worst aspects of Indian people.
