COVID-19 related compliance to SOP
Pine Air Bed and Breakfast adheres to the standard operating procedure (SOP) to prevent the spread of COVID-19 issued by the Tourism Department, Government of Meghalaya. All our staff have taken double vaccination doses and are following the necessary protocols.
All guests must submit copies of their vaccination certificates and IDs before or on the day of their arrival at Pine Air.
CARETAKER:
A caretaker family resides in Pine Air property. They also have 4 local breed dogs – Witty and Lexi are females and Milo and PhupPhup are males.
PETS:
Pine Air is pet-friendly.
When we have guests, the dogs are let out at night usually after 8 pm or after all, guests are indoors, and are led back to their enclosure in the morning 6/7 am. Many of our guests have enjoyed the company of the dogs as they are mostly playful.
However, for guests who are not comfortable with dogs or who have a cynophobia, we request them to inform us beforehand so we can keep the dogs in their enclosures before the guests arrive and during the time that the guests are in Pine Air premises. The guests should also inform any of the staff if they need to go out after 8 pm or when they arrive at Pine Air after 8 pm.
