Place is good. The resort is much equipped with conference hall for meetings. One can even book the place for wedding purposes. The place is huge . They also provide catering services. Though as of now, when I'm writing this, much of the grasses needs trimming and the pools cleaned. It's not pleasing for the eyes. Over-all I do think, they usually clean and prep the place before any special event. Cafeteria is present.
The best part of the property was the waterfall and river flowing through the property. It was an awesome experience. The walkway was well illuminated and one can take a walk in the evening as well. The food was good and the staff attitude was good, though they were not well trained. The rooms could have been better, the cleanliness needs improvement. They need to have more staff to serve, with such a speed out property with just a few service staff, its a torcher on them to manage so many people's expectations ad serve all the rooms. The location is little off track, you cannot do anything outside the hotel, the inside track can keep you busy not more than 30 mins. Since there's no view, you end up staying in your room, no point coming closer to nature and staying inside room.
it is the best guest house location wise. just behind the guest house there is small water fall and there is very nice sitting arrangement. if you have a group of fun loving people this is the location for you. the food is also affordable and it is tasty too. there are less restorents near by. if you want to stay there personal or rented car is preferable. so that you can reach to the place and go whenever you like as place is little bit in outskirt.
This place is a work in progress, but trust me, once completed, it will be one of the best in the area. The location is easy to access. It has a mini waterfall within the perimeter. They are building the gym and spa. It has both outdoor and indoor dining area and a sitting place near the waterfall. There is a path crisscrossing the waterfall and the perimeter of the area. The rooms are not expensive when compared to the services, but they need to bring down the prices in food menu.
Nice location,adjecent to beautifull waterfall stream and small trakking route to mountains. river facing rooms are small, need a bit of cleanliness. front side well developed but river front side tey have costructed common eashroms and stuffs which is not a good idea. Very far from main town and all sight seeing places, so need to have your own rivate vehicle if you stay. location
The view of the small stream is awesome. They offer camping also on request. One can chose the place in rainy season for that sounds of young hill stream .. Food here was good specially the mono. It was of big size and was reasonable. But now almost after 4 month in this visit I saw the momo was too small and they charge almsot 160 rupe per plate. They have increased the price of other items too . So the restaurant is getting costlier the early days ..
As location it is a must to have a stay over with good food choices and cozy room space with basic ammenities. But the surrounding natural location is awesome with a small waterfall and breath of fresh air. The common place is great to detox. And has a parking space. Only thing i would like to improve is the service which is rather delayed due to lack of staff but can be improved with more staff hiring.
I am writing this review from the place itself. I have no words to describe this place. From the time we entered this place till now we have a big smile on our face. And time and again we're just amazed as how beautiful a place like this can be. The wall along the entrance is filled up with beautiful artworks. The small garden, the reception area, is so simply yet beautifully done. Small bits like small flowering plants along the stairway to the rooms, the led lightings at the parking area makes you realise the amount of time went into designing this place. The small stream of water flowing by near the rooms makes one feel very relaxed. I want to thank the people behind this for working so hard to bring up something so beautiful. The host, the staff, are the best. Thank you for your hospitality, thank you for the great time.

Place is awesome landscape but being govt run resort maintenance is almost zero. Rooms are big but very poor condition with cockroach infested. But food n staffs are helpful. I came to know that this resort will be demolished soon for a 5 star hotel.
Large, vast and serene. You can visit en route Shillong or on way back. You can enjoy from the viewpoint or go down to the lake if you have time. Boating available also.
