This stay was a hit and a miss for me
While the location and it's seclusion makes it likeable, the broken approach Road (especially the last stretch) makes it hard to drive to the resort.
We stayed there for one day. The rooms were spacious and clean. The resort was decently maintained. The food was decent.
However, rooms do not have any intercom. In addition, no mobile network means you have to walk up to the reception every time there is a request/query
I was willing to ignore the above issues given the quiet of the place - however, an unruly crowd arrived late in the evening and began creating ruckus. This kept happening for hours and there was no one at reception to help control the crowd. We tried reaching out on their given numbers (thru whatsapp using the weak wifi) and knocked at reception but there was no one. I eventually had to shout at them myself. This incident spoiled the experience for me. This takes the purpose of the resort and turns it on its head. Very disappointing.
Also, there is wifi which hardly works.

We stayed here for 2 nights and believe me this was really a wonderful experience. Huge green area for walking and sitting spaces in open with bonfire. We met 2 cute dogs and 7 cats. Just walking around this place is so peaceful. Owners is a lovely person and very helpful. It was the only place where I got a nice cup of tea during my whole travel. Staff was very cooperative. If any wants to stay at Cherrapunji and wants a peaceful and stress free experience, it's a no brainer. It's also near to double decker trek.

Pros and cons of the place is that the view from the resort is pretty,as bangladesh border is visible from there.but its completely a no network place(if you are required to stay connected for work then its better not to visit) Food is pricey compared to its taste.so we found it better to carry local khasi food from outside or cook by ourselves,provuded you need to carry your own utensils and crockery.
Rooms are very very basic with damp walls with black mold growth and condensation.we understand its due to its rainy and wet weather but room price should be a little less according to it though rooms are big no doubt..
One night stay is just more than enough

"Staying at this resort in the heart of the Cherrapunji forest was an unforgettable experience! The sense of being surrounded by untouched nature gave a true feeling of staying deep within the jungle. The rooms are basic but staff were incredibly supportive, always attentive, and the restaurant offered delicious food with great service. One thing to keep in mind: there is no internet, and the mobile network is very poor, so it’s the perfect place to disconnect from the world. Also, the road leading to the resort is quite rough, so it's best to arrive before sunset to avoid any issues. Overall, a fantastic retreat for nature lovers!"

Positive -
1. Staffs are very polite and helpful.
2. Rooms are large and very basic.
Negative points -
1. Very far away from Sohra(Cherapunjie) city centre and roads are bad. It will take minimum 1 hour from the city. Not safe to drive in dark so should come back to hotel by 6 PM.
2. No mobile connectivity. Don’t know what to do after 6 PM when it is dark.
3. Food prices are on higher side compared to quality.
4. Too many cats roaming in the kitchen so not sure about hygiene.
