Nice breakfast (omlette / indian + tea), nice guy the owner, rooms clean, bathroom clean and funky, tuktuks to Bodhgaya leave from just outside the hostel.

The best hostel in Bodhgaya, if not in India. The location is in a quiet, safe and peaceful area where you only hear birds from a distance. The hostel is well cleaned with lovely garden areas and communal space. It’s very rare to have such a spacial hostel not just in Bodhgaya but in rest of India. Wifi is well connected, I watched multiple Netflix episodes without ever lagging. The only problem is it’s difficulty in access due to its distance from central area of Bodhgaya but the hostel knows reliable Tuk-tuks that offers secure transport with the right rate. Biggest plus is definitely the manager; Extremely hospitable and willing to help with many needs of the guests including area guides, foods and general help you will naturally have especially you are visiting India. Not to mention his cookery is amazing, has a vast range of conversations in English but also respects your privacy and solitude whenever you are in need. I came to Bodhgaya quite sick and tired, as a result having to stay in the hostel for nearly a week, within that week I was able to fully nourish myself, get a proper rest, engaged in a various conversation with the manager and other guests, even learnt how to make chai:) all due to the positive aspect the hostel bring. I will definitely stay in this hostel whenever I visit Bodhgaya again and I hope this review attracts many more travelers there as well! The photo was taken close to the hostel. It is surrounded by such a peaceful beautiful landscape of rural Bihar.
