Risa Forest Green | A Forest View Stay

When I searched a homestay in Shillong for our 3 days stay at Shillong, the most important consideration was the location. On scrutinising the maps I found Risa Forest Green Homestay in a very suitable and peaceful location, amidst the greenery of Risa Forest and completely out of the hustle bustle of the city, yet very near to the important places. Then I booked it through MakeMyTrip after seeing the visuals of the rooms and common areas. It is one of the best homestays I have ever stayed in. The property is well maintained, neat and clean with every amenities. The host Veera is very cooperative, helpful and friendly. We had a very nice and comfortable stay here and I strongly recommend Risa Forest Green Homestay if anyone is looking for a homestay in Shillong.

The location is absolutely awesome, the hospitality is top-notch. There's not a speck of dust or grime anywhere, the property is well maintained. There are 4 bedrooms in total, 2 in ground floor and another 2 on the first floor. Along with that, there is a beautifully decorated living cum dining area, and a huge kitchen with all modern amenities and perfectly clean utensils. The owner herself is so warm and hospitable that you'd feel absolutely at home staying there. The food was made as per the availability and our choice, fresh homely meals, kept in clean containers with utmost care. It has become my go-to place anytime that I visit Shillong. The energy of this place is refreshing, calm and serene.

The interiors are tastefully decorated with a perfect blend of modern comfort and local charm, making it feel like a true home away from home. The surroundings are calm and inviting, with plenty of greenery and open space to relax. Whether sitting on the verandah with a cup of tea or enjoying the evening breeze in the garden, every moment felt refreshing. The hosts were incredibly welcoming and ensured every little detail was taken care of, making the stay even more comfortable. If you’re looking for a place with a relaxing atmosphere, cozy interiors, and genuine hospitality, this homestay is a perfect choice. It’s ideal for anyone who wants to unwind and enjoy a serene getaway.

We had a blissful, relaxing stay in Veera’s lovely place. Of course, the favourite part of our stay was watching the rain fall amidst the forest greenery from the balcony, sipping on our tea & coffee.

An easy one to recommend. Very clean and well maintained. Lovely staff and host. Responsive and helpful. A nice forest view from the balcony. Peaceful location and ample amenities. A great place to stay.
