Ri Kynjai Serenity by the Lake

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.

I stayed in this property on Jan9 and Jan 10,2025.I booked this property three months before after searching various websites andreviews.According to reviews and description from website this five star property should be luxurious and rooms should have amenities as claimed. But I highly disappointed to see that the lake facing suite room in which I stayed is badly maintained.There was few substandard toiletries, smelling quilt,broken tiles,old bath tub, corroded faucets,two ugly oranges.There was a 32 inch size tv in this so called ultra luxury room.Tea kettel was malfunctioning.Tea bags was just basic., ordinary tea cups with non matching small plate..Drinking water of local unknown company.There was a small old carpet and few dim lights in the room.No bathing gowns. This hotel don't organise any recreational or cultural activities. If I compare this property with Hotel centre point (same owner) in Shillong,that is much better. For condition and amenities in room I would give just two star. I would never recommend this property to anyone. Only merit of this property is that it is near lake.

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.

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.
