Some of the must see sights in Meghalaya are about same distance from Shillong and Sohra. Our decision to base ourselves in Sohra was dictated by frightening traffic in Shillong. Cherrapunjee Holiday Resort turned out to be a great choice. This pocket friendly place offers basic comforts and really great service. The owner Mr. Denis Ryan is always around and ever ready to oblige and provide guidance. The place is located at the edge of a small village with friendly people.

Dear Sir, We are happy that you enjoyed your stay at our place. We are trying to provide a great ambiance for Family Holidays while bringing employment opportunities to the people of our surrounding villages in a scenic hill top location. We have developed many treks around the place and had named and promoted the Living Root Bridge including the Double Decker Root Bridge. One can take bath in waterfalls and fresh water springs during the monsoon season and can do many treks, River Canyoning and Adventure Caving in the winter season. We provide good amenities at a family friendly price so that many families can benefit from our service. We appreciate your Five Star Rating. Thanks a Million. Denis P.Rayen

We had lunch at this place though we didn't stay here.. The food was awesome and delicious.. Especially, the rasam is amazing.. We ordered a thali/meals which costs around 250/- but worth it. The rice is unlimited. You don't get curd and that could be a drawback.. The place is centrally located and might be good for stay as well.. They also serve ice creams. Not a lot of flavours you get but the taste is good..

The Cherrapunji Holiday Resort run by Mr Justin Dennis and his family is the best value for money place at Cherrapunji. Not only is the place affordable it also well maintained and has the most amazing staff and the food is just what you need after a long day of trek and travel

This hotel is the closest you can get to being in the heart of the mountains and jungles, while being on top of one, with a fantastic view of everything around you. I came here to stay as close as I could to the living root bridges. The rooms are simple but very clean. The food was great, the staff; extremely accommodating and kind. If you're looking for an eco-adventure and a nature-filled weekend, staying here is your best bet. Coming from Delhi, the hotel arranged a taxi to pick me up at the airport for a 5 hour drive to their resort (great scenery and totally worth the travel time). Being female and traveling alone, it was also perfectly safe and pleasant. The hotel is actually near another root bridge that's less of a tourist focal point and I thought this one (Umkar…

Dear Ms.Jolsen, Thank you so much for your kind words of appreciation for our staff and for our property. We are glad that you had a pleasant stay and enjoyed visiting the some of Living Root Bridges around. The trek to Double Decker Root Bridge is indeed getting a bit crowded thesedays given the amount of focus it's getting, but there are other lesser known bridges too, just 2-3 kms away. A few weeks ago, a European couple also commented that they preferred the jungle trek to Umkar & Umunoi Living Root Bridges. Good news is we have charted many trekking routes, and most are on paths less travelled. For avid trekkers, we also recommend trek through limestone karst areas in winter, where the landscape is very unique and through which local areca nut farmers walk to get to their farms. Well, now you have something to look forward too on your next visit! :) Once again thank you for the lovely review and recommendation. Cheers!

It's 15 KM away from Cherrapunjee through the jungle and actually located in Laitkynsew village. They offer great foods but little expensive. It's a small place with view from one side only. The linens could have been better, rooms and furniture need revamping. There's a playroom for kids. There is no TV in rooms. Network in the area is poor and the so-called resort does not provide WiFi. But if you just get bored in the maddening city life and just want to relax, you can come here, sleep-eat and repeat and just relax.

Dear Sir, Thanks for your Three Star Rating. Yes, our place is located in Laitkynsew village that is 15 km from Cherrapunjee town. Since our area falls under the heavy rainfall area indicated by Cherrapunjee we have named it Cherrapunjee Holiday Resort being the very first place that was opened 20 years back for tourists to stay in Cherrapunjee. We have different categories of rooms and we are upgrading the facilities in all the rooms at regular periods. TV is not provided in the Rooms and common TV is provided in the Lobby to enable families to have more time to interact among themselves and enable closer family bonding by removing the usual distractions to enjoy a better family holiday. The non-provision of TV is specifically mentioned in our website. Wifi is provided in the Lobby area. We have created many outdoor activities such as trekking, taking bath in fresh water springs, waterfalls, Riven Canyoning and Adventure Caving in winter. We appreciate your frank review. Thanks for the same.

During Feb, i have visited the place. The location of resort is very beautiful. The staffs were co-operative and the evening programme can give you the local flavor. To visit the place you must have one car with you. If you have time, u can see root bridge by tracking.

Dear Sir, It's kind of you to take time write a review despite the fact that quite a few months have gone by since your stay with us. We thank for appreciating our staff and our efforts. We are glad you enjoyed your stay with us. Looks like you missed the experience of trekking through the hills to the Double Decker Root Bridge. But maybe that's a good excuse to come back again someday! :)

Almost Bangladesh!! Yeah you get to see amazing view of Bangladesh from its top. But this hotel is only for people who takes Treck to Double root bridge. Otherwise it is an extra hour of travel. But if you want to visit root bridge, natural pools. Hats off to this. Don't expect fancy rooms but they will give you an experience not to forget.

Dear Sir, Thank you very much for your kind review. We appreciate it. The Double Decker Root Bridge has been named and promoted by us. We have more treks around our place. We can do adventure caving and river canyoning in winter. During the monsoon season one can enjoy baths in natural cold water springs and in waterfalls. Our Standard and Deluxe Rooms are of the starting range. The Executive and Premium Rooms are better furnished and are more spacious. We are getting ready another sixteen Valley View facing rooms which will be much more spacious and will have large over 10 feet wide full plane glass windows overlooking a 3000 feet deep valley that get adorned by clouds drifting through the valley the sides of which are streaked by over 18 large waterfalls. We have created many sit outs to enjoy the scenic beauty of the place at different levels. Many rooms are provided ramp access and even elders who can not do the adventure activities can enjoy the scenery of the beautiful valley in front of us and the plains of Bangladesh from the Resort itself and the in house recreational facilities. We shall look forward to make the stay of your family and friends pleasant, comfortable and memorable. Thank you very much for your review.

I called up directly and booked just a couple of days in advance. Right from first day, this resort was different. The hotel staff kept me updated about the booking and called called us as we are a bit late to reach. The location can be a bit tricky but our ola driver knew where it was. We reached there and had the excellent dinner that was served. The morning really showed how beautiful the hotel and it’s surrounding is. The views of Bangladesh plains and the hills of Meghalaya from the hotel us just breath taking. Had the best cooked breakfast in the morning and left for trekking to the living root bridges. Thank you Denise and the entire team for coming up with such a lovely resort and a remote location of North East.
