Yashshree Lachung

We got a great last minute deal at Agoda, the hotel food deserves a mention, the location is immaterial because there's not a lot to step outside and see. Everyone recommends to not eat outside at Lachung.

I was very let down by how this situation was managed, especially for a property with such high ratings on booking sites. After a tiring drive to Lachung, the check-in process became unnecessarily difficult. I had booked and fully paid for a room through Agoda, based on the category and availability shown there. But when I arrived, I was told my booked room was unavailable due to ongoing construction and painting, and then asked to pay extra for a different room. This is not how hospitality should be handled. If a hotel confirms and accepts payment for a room category via a booking platform, it should honor that booking. If the room is truly unavailable, the right approach would be a free upgrade or refund, not demanding more money because of the hotel's poor inventory management. Another frustrating aspect was communication. As a foreign guest, I had to repeatedly remind staff that I don't speak the local language and am not from India, yet they kept speaking to me in that language. While I understand using the local language is natural, continuing to do so after being told otherwise is very frustrating. I often had to pretend to understand just to avoid interrupting. It made me wonder if they rarely deal with foreign guests or mainly serve locals. Regardless, a professional hotel should communicate clearly and respectfully with international visitors. The overall environment was also disappointing. Construction was happening in many parts of the property, which affected the stay. If a hotel is undergoing major renovations, it should either close temporarily or clearly inform guests before accepting bookings. Guests rely on the information, photos, reviews, and availability shown on platforms like Agoda and shouldn't have to call to ask if the hotel is under construction or if their room will be available. That responsibility shouldn't fall on the customer. The long trip to Lachung made this even more frustrating. Instead of the hospitality expected from a highly rated hotel, I felt my time, money, and booking were disrespected. Overall, a very disappointing experience and poor value for money. The management needs to improve how they handle confirmed bookings, communicate with international guests, and be transparent about ongoing construction.

The resort is stunning. The room was clean and the service excellent. The view from the room was captivating. Breakfast was enjoyable with a wonderful mountain backdrop. The staff were friendly and accommodating. The food was tasty as well.

The property is very old and located well, but the staff managing it are extremely unprofessional. Definitely will not choose this place again.
