Stayed in April 2013 with family. Rooms are clean. But issue is with the service. I assume the property was full during out stay, and there was only only person to service the lot. A few tips to make your stay hassle free- Dont expect tea before 7-30, as the cook will only arrive at 7 am. Please order dinner... More

We were there for 3 nights. 6 Adults and 2 Kids. Clean place. Rooms at ground floor can be a little cagey so try negotiating for rooms on first floor. The places seems to attract a lot of students so they are not geared up for vacation travellers, to cite we missed seeing anyone from the owners to come and... More

I booked a room in the guest house about a month before my stay. I felt the staff was very polite and well-spoken. Although I doubted the place would be any good, I enjoyed my stay in Shillong. The rooms were simple, warm, spacious, comfortable and very clean. What more does a person require? The in-house food was delicious and... More

A very cosy, extremely clean, comfortable guest house in Shillong run by wonderful people. The Manager & staff are warm, courteous and always strive to please.

We were very pleasantly surprised at the clenliness and standards of this Guest house - getting to Shillong from Guahati was a struggle because of the road work on the way, but the warm welcome we received at White Orchid made those headaches go away. We were very impressed by the manager Chetan, who was very attentive and polite. The... More

We stayed here 3 nights and then came back and stayed one more night. The first time we stayed here it was great! When we came back there was some problems with the Kitchen help, that resulted in yelling, pushing, & hitting in the Kitchen while we were having our breakfast. It was a unfortunate way to end our stay.

Clean rooms, comfortable beds, clean toilets. Affordable pricing. Service is good. Very easy check in and check out. Things they can improve: a) Have a printed leaflet of places to visit b) Cab hire contacts c) List of interesting restaurants d) Provide Tea / Coffee maker in rooms
