Rufina Lachung Deezong

Room was quite good. They provided good room service focusing on providing the slightest possible necessity like slippers etc.

Russel homestay is the ideal place for a couple or a group of friends. The place gives a great view to the kanchenjunga from its valley rooms. Rooms are warm and cozy. The service was great and we are leaving with happy memories.

Was a disppointment both in terms of room amenities as well as food. The generator is inadequate for all the rooms in case of power breakdown. Did not even ask for id proof at time of checkin. Very bland food with unhygienic conditions. My daughter disliked it so much that we didn’t even eat lunch which was part of the package.

The stay was good. Food was good. Just book because in season you won't get room on arrival.

Electricity issue. Food is simple. No lift. Rooms are ok type not like a 3 star as claimed. Geyser, kettle heater can not be used as there is electricity issue. They don't provide backup.

Lachung is the second town/village tour while travelling North Sikkim. This is the pit stop for visiting areas like Zero Point, Yumthang Valley, Hot Springs, etc. This is a newer property and you could smell the fresh paints when entering the room(personally I like the smell of fresh emulsions, if you’re allergic check in advance). As with the Lachen property of Rufina, this is also has standard amenities like geyser, 2 quilts and a decent bed. The windows in the hotel rooms were not locking properly and the topmost window sill didn’t close completely as a wire was going outside of it. In such freezing temperatures that is a challenge. Though if you close the blinds you might get some protection. The food standard and quality is okish with minimal spread like what we got in Lachen. Overall the rufina properties are quite alike. If you find one good, the subsequent ones will have the same features as the previos.
