    It's quite a stroll to the main temple, 25 minutes. But transport is easy and cheap

    Staff is amazingly friendly and helpfull. Peacefull place all together, as the guesthouse is located in a green and quiet area. Enjoyed the conversations and breakfasts on the terrace and some interesting excursions. Rooms was really comfortable

    The electric plugs were not enough and placed in weard positions. They should provide more toilet paper and some soap

    I liked a lot the facilities, the room had a good size, there was hot water , we had mosquitoes nets at the windows, nice blankets and nice cotton towels.

    The bed was a bit hard

    I felt like I was living as part of the family. I enjoyed playing with the children, chatting to the family and doing some vegetable preparation for the meal. Food was fresh, delicious with lots of vegetables. I felt more connected here than in a hotel. I also felt under the protection of the family who were able to give lots of help and advice. They helped with transport, guides for sightseeing. There was lots of laughter and goodwill. My room was on the second floor. It was a very generous size, clean and no traffic noise. I was able to visit the Shantindiaschool where I spoke to the students and teachers and was fortunate to sit in on a teacher training session. A fantastic project that provides education to 850 disadvantaged local children. This place radically changes lives for the better. I felt happier contributing to the school rather than giving plastic covered biscuits or rupees to the hundreds of beggars. The location is 1.5km out of town so I accessed the beautiful Tara temple and Tergar Monastery as well as the Temples in the main town.

    It’s a little far from the main sights, but not too bad if you don’t mind a 20-30 minute walk.

    The room was clean and comfortable for a budget option. The staff were all very kind and super helpful. Anuj spent hours one night trying to book us train tickets, and didn’t charge any commission. They run a not-for-profit school for disadvantaged youth, of which they are more than happy to give you a tour. And they will make a home cooked breakfast or dinner for you with advanced notice.

    Little bit far from Mahabodhi temple but not too much. No Mosquito nets over the beds but that seems to be a standard in this region so no complaints really.

    Amazing hosts. The family running Regis hostel is the best thing about it. It's good for many reasons.

    Was a bit noisy outside, recommend having earplugs

    As a solo traveler it can be hard not knowing anyone in the places you come to, but at Tara guesthouse, you expect a place to stay, but once you come you feel a part of their family. The food was the best I have tasted during my one month travel in India. I can’t recommend this place enough!
