My stay at the resort was a mixed bag. On one hand, I truly enjoyed the beautiful design and variety of activities available. The unique room types and the intriguing art really caught my eye. However, the service left much to be desired, with cleanliness issues and maintenance problems overshadowing the experience. Although it offers great entertainment options, the overall condition of the facilities could definitely be improved.

My experience at the Sambodhi Retreat Resort in Bodhgaya was quite varied. The resort has beautiful design elements and plenty of activities, which made it enjoyable for my friends and me.

The amenities were a mixed bag—great gardens and pools, but others were either unavailable or poorly maintained, which was disappointing.

I recently stayed at this resort in Bihar, which offers a unique blend of innovative concepts and outdoor activities. While the expanse of the property is impressive, I found the maintenance to be quite lacking, particularly in the rooms and bathrooms. The staff was warm, but they seemed a bit untrained. The food was generally good, although the service in the dining area was slow. Overall, it’s a decent place for a family trip but could be better with some improvements in upkeep.
