Samenvatting van reizigersbeoordelingen

HouseTale in Bodh Gaya biedt een rustig toevluchtsoord omgeven door natuur, perfect voor soloreizigers en rustzoekers. Gasten prijzen het ongelooflijk vriendelijke en behulpzame personeel, de comfortabele kamers en de levendige sociale sfeer met regelmatige evenementen. Het café ter plaatse is ook een hoogtepunt.

I had a wonderful stay at HouseTale and only wish I'd stayed longer. The room was beautiful and comfortable. The staff were friendly and attentive One thing I especially appreciated was that the staff arranged all of my transportation during my stay. The drivers were professional, safe, and reliable, which made getting around worry-free The outdoor cafe was another highlight. The food was delicious, and it's a popular local spot The property itself is very serene with lots of trees

Super cool vibe. Open-mic every night and an up-and-coming hangout for the locals.

I really loved staying here. The place is beautiful and surrounded by trees, which makes it feel very peaceful. It’s a little away from the busy areas but still close enough to everything, and that small distance makes it perfect for relaxing — you can even hear the birds. The room was lovely, there’s a very nice café on site, and the staff were all incredibly kind and welcoming. Overall, a beautiful and calming place to stay.
