Fresh Water Resort

Beware! Confirm the booking with the hotel before traveling.

Please do not book trouble for a beautiful destination like Kashmir, the owner is troubled, and in no touch with MMT, he denied any booking at first, terrible experience, look for somewhere in town!

Worst stay in my 5 nights trip to Kashmir

Santosh Kumar , May 09, 2018

We were fascinated with the location of the hotel which is indeed excellent. It lies just beside the Lider river and the view in the morning is just amazing However, the hotel reception and how they handled our stay is pathetic. We had booked 2 Deluxe rooms with no breakfast and got it confirmed almost a month before. When approached the reception for check-in, the person at the counter said some guest have extended their stay and they won’t be able to give us 2 deluxe rooms. Instead, they can give us a suite and a deluxe room. The mentioned “suite” is exactly what their website shows for deluxe room, and the mentioned “deluxe” room was a very poor standard section of the hotel which had 2 small rooms and a common toilet. I felt like it is staff room. It did not have anything except for a bed. So, basically they had only one deluxe room for us, and they pushed that below standard accommodation for the price of deluxe which they had charged already. This treatment is painful when you have charged the whole money in advance and the customer has no option than to say yes, unwillingly. I will NOT RECOMMEND to stay here at any cost. There are plenty other options available there, you can explore. Volga is a good choice, based on what I have heard afterwards. After checkout, our guide cum driver told us that. That night some party had manhandled the hotel manager for something similar done to them. While I am personally not a big fan of violence, sometimes I enjoy someone hitting others for any mistake done. Have a good trip to Kashmir !!

Awesome experience come here and enjoy your trip

Nice hotel with awesome location and view, staff was very much cooperative and ready to serve all times, food quality is also very good I mst say it's true value for money. One must visit and feel the good experience . . Plus point of this hotel is the owner also resides in this hotel and he is also very much concerned about his guests.

Not a pleasant experience . Just 3 star rating

MATHEW ME , Apr 09, 2018

No WiFi, TV not working, no hot water in morning, half km away from main road by katcha road, food costly but compulsion since no restaurant nearby, too much voice due wooden flooring/structure . Only best thing is spacious Rooms . Service staff provide service only when asked . Will not recommend .

Couple stay fr 2 days

Nice hotel. Awesome location and everything is just perfect. The owner also resides there and he took care of us like our family does.

It is a nice play to enjoy a vacation.

We were on our honeymoon and we decided to stay in this hotel after carefully reviewing it through the various website. It was a nice place to stay for our vacation. The full night we were hearing the little sound of flowing water which was pleasant. Service was also good.

Rooms could be warmer

subhkirti sinha , Jan 04, 2018

Rooms are spacious. However, in winters, the rooms become pretty cold because of proximity to river. The small heaters provided by the hotel is not sufficient. The host (Gulzar Khan) is fabulous. We had an amazing time listening to his stories. He is an overtly warm person, who loves to serve his customers. The food is great. The location is quite easily the best.

Scenary

Manideep Reddy Sunnapu , Jan 03, 2018

Not recommended in winters. Otherwise excellent view and service. Staff and owner are so nice.

Definitely not worth the price charged.

Shilo Stephen , Dec 14, 2017

Rooms were spacious with a good view of the mountains but it had pretty bad insulation. Heater was non effective. Electric bed heating was not good enough and did not reach the feet while sleeping. There was no proper electricity supply. TV was very small and frequently gave trouble. Only hindi movie channels worked. They provided the drivers with rooms which had no electricity either which was a pathetic gesture considering the kind of prices they charge. Calls were not answered at times which made resolving any issue difficult. It's pretty far from Pahalgam market from where the trek/horse ride begins.

Awesome resort in Pahalgam

Sandipan Nag , Nov 01, 2017

Its a very good resort on the banks of liddle river. You can hear the sound of the river flowing by just from the room. The resost has got very spacious rooms. I visited the resort with my family and everyone enjoyed the stay over here.

Beautiful stay and warm staff

sindhura reddy , Oct 31, 2017

My stay at fresh water resort has been amazing. The place has a beautiful view of the lidder river. I have been there in summer, hence less water flow. I’m sure the view is going to be even more beautiful when the river flow is high. It feels like a home stay and regardless of (low) budget, the place meets every goal. The owner and the staff are very friendly, warm and made every effort to make us feel comfortable. Go there to feel like a lo val in spite of staying in a hotel. P. S: carry a usb with movies and watch them in the basement lounge curled up in warm blankets.

Batteries recharged !!

Located in the midst of hills and with Lidder river passing by, this is an ideal place for 'Dil dhoondhta hai fursat ke raat din'. The quiet environs, punctuated by chirping of birds and the sound of flowing river really relaxes you. The staff is helpful and courteous, and chatting away with Mr. Gulzar, the owner who calls himself a sewak, is fun.

Cozy rooms with excellent view

Sandipan Bhowmick , Sep 29, 2017

I've been to Pahalgam, in August 2017 and put up in this Hotel. I've got a very positive vibe from the hotel staff. We were little late (around 9:30 pm) in reaching the place and were facing little difficulty in zeroing the place down. One phone call and the staff were there to pick us up in the main road crossing. Though the place is located around 10 kms. Downhill of Pahalgam town, yet it is the place for great stay and to unwind. Everything was good about the hotel, the room, the staff, well curated garden by the side of Lidder, the food, especially the morning breakfast .. I have saved the Fresh Water Resort as my favorite location, when I come back to Pahalgam. Cheers guys .. Keep up the good work.

Excellent location adjacent to lidder river

Rajiv Dhawan , Sep 15, 2017

It's more like a homestay, you are personally taken care of. Although some of the things need improvement like their power back up and the quality of food. But overall experience was nothing short of amazing. We even witnessed a double rainbow from the window of the room which was just so amazing after a hailstorm

Great location and ambience

Aparajith Narayanan , Jun 23, 2017

Great location, great property. Great ambience and great hospitality. There was not even a single thing to regret about this resort everything was just fantastic and was as mentioned in the MMT description. Once you are there you will fall in love with the resort because of the ambience and location and you would want to extend your stay.

Very cool resort and value for money

Chetan Dhaker , Jun 22, 2017

Location can't be better than this and food quality was awesome and services was great. People working there were very humble and helpful. Ambience was very awesome and everything was wooden in this hotel.

Excellent service & food, little bit expensive

Deepak Tomar , Apr 03, 2017

The owner I. E. Mr. Gulzar is a very good host as well as great person, always ready to help the guests. Food was delicious and service was also excellent. Beautiful lidder river is flowing in front of the resort which makes the resort 'feel like heaven'. Little bit expensive comparing to other tourist place. Overall experience was excellent.

Loacation is very nice

Animesh Singh , Mar 21, 2017

Very good in terms of location, service, breakfast, hotel premises and beautiful Kashmir. 15 Km before Pahalgam I definitely recommend Fresh Water for nice location. Ambience very nice very good service. Food quality awesome over all it was very good experience and Irfan very helpful.

Amazing place, beautiful location, excellent

Nitin Ahlawat , Mar 05, 2017

I was on my honeymoon. We stayed at Fresh Water resort in Feb 19 & 20, 2017. It's Mr gulzar's palace who himself is a very kind gentleman.. The location is fabulous... And the food is really mouthwatering... Far better than Heaven's and other good star hotels. The staff guys Rehman bhai and Irfan are really humble and nice. Me and my wife really enjoyed Mr Gulzar's company. If anyone plan for Pahalgam this is definitely a not to miss place. I really wish Mr Gulzar and his staff good health and prosperity.

Best location & good food

Harshdeep kumar , Dec 26, 2016

We arrived after dark, and it looked like away from population. But as we reached the resort, we were greeted by the staff which was courteous and very attentive to the needs. Couple of them gave us their phone numbers to call if we needed anything. We ordered food which was pretty good. In the morning we were woken up with bed tea and were promptly asked for our breakfast order. Pros- Best location, Courteous staff, Good food. Cons- Away from population and markets.
