Ri Kynjai Serenity by the Lake

Beautiful place to be. Visited in June this year The rooms are od two types. We booked the separate villas available there Extremely spacious rooms with Beautiful view of umiam lake. Interiors were very pleasing. Good place for both family and couples. Restaurant with a view There's a shop too inside which has quality goods. Lush greenery around A peaceful stay Only thing is walking up and downStairs Little difficult for elderly people for ambulation and movement

Had the most amazing time at Ri Kynjai. From direct reservation (thank you Ms Reena) to welcome, check in, quality of our cottage, breakfast and meals served: everything was just perfect. It was so good that we didn't want to leave the hotel and go to Shillong city. Our lake view cottage had the most breath taking views. One could just sit in the balcony over looking Umiam lake. Breakfast was amazing everyday. The staff is so well trained that it's a delight to interact with them. We slept peacefully as the resort is so quite and serene. They even helped us with a taxi and driver whose services were beyond excellent. I cannot recommend this hotel enough.

The property is spectacular. No better location to take in the serenity of Lake Umiam and spectacular sunrises. The architecture is a marvel, the rooms are big and wonderful, the foliage impressive. The staff is super helpful. It is far from any place else but that is the point. The local black sesame dal in the restaurant is the best dal you will ever have. But really, this is a unique hotel with a gorgeous view of a lake with trance like peace.

I often visit this property with my family as it is the easiest getaway from Guwahati with an amazing location. The property is well maintained and now they have added air conditioners to the lake view cottage which has become a must coz it can get hot especially in summers. Otherwise the rooms are super spacious, cozy and good to just relax. But beyond a day it may become boring as there is nothing else to do.

Wonderful place to be on the outskirts of Shillong. Really defines - Serenity by the Lake (except for the occasional noisy crowds). Great ambience esp. for the rooms overlooking the lake. Courteous Staff from reception to house keeping to the restaurant. Tasty food esp. Continental and Chinese. Breakfast spread - nice for a 4-star hotel. The wood interiors gives a majestic touch to the property. Bar is well stocked with most of the brands you would like. Did not use the spa. There are a few issues however. Not exactly disable or wheelchair friendly. Also not recommended for elders with bad knees as stairs to climb at several areas. Limited activities at the resort - a trail leads to the lake and a small open area for some outdoor games. Great to relax but not if you have a large family and want to do activities. Shillong is 15-20km from the property - both an advantage (away from the maddening crowd) but if there is shopping to do and places to visit a limitation. The emporium (shop) with handicrafts can be better stocked. Very limited options and many overpriced. Overall a great place to relax and chill for a couple of nights with a great view to enjoy and nice staff to pamper you.

Nestled amidst the serene beauty of Meghalaya's lush landscapes, this authentic architectural marvel stands as a testament to the rich heritage of the region. Each room, adorned with intricate wooden craftsmanship, whispers tales of tradition and timeless elegance. As the gentle breeze dances off the tranquil waters of Umiam Lake in Shillong, guests are enveloped in a symphony of serenity and awe-inspiring vistas. From the spacious interiors that beckon with warmth to the culinary delights that tantalize the taste buds, every aspect of hospitality is meticulously curated to evoke pure enchantment. In this sanctuary of natural splendor, every moment is a celebration of beauty, grace, and the soul-stirring magic of Meghalaya.
