New Jacquline Heritage Houseboats

These people are so good that we regret it

Leo Joseph

We stayed here for only a night and this was our best stay in Kashmir. Was a little disappointed seeing the route from Srinagar Airport and the boarding deck for shikara ride to the houseboat. But it ends there. It was a mesmerizing shikara ride and very warm hospitality buy the staff. Ambience & Building:- Very calm Nigeen lake and beautiful houseboat. The golden hours gave unforgettable scenic beauties- both evening and morning. Food:- Homely cooked, very limited spread though. Staff: Extremely helpful, they even arranged a driver to pick us from airport and he stayed with us till the end of our 7days trip as he was so good. Another suggestion was to take a shikara ride to Dal Lake and board the taxi from there- Thanks for this suggestion as it covered a lot of unseen places and worth every moment. Overall- book this property if you really like to stay at a calm atmosphere. PS: One uncle will come with handcraft materials, don't repeat our mistake- Buy from him, you will never see such a quality anywhere else in Kashmir.

Good place to stay

Location is good. One can reach by taxi or one can take Shikara ride which is free offered by the owner. The house boats are well maintained with full carpet flooring, rooms are neat and clean. Food was awesome, though Rs. 400/- is on higher side, still I recommend one should always take food from here only. Owner Mr. Sammi and his father personally came to greet us. The houseboat caretaker was also very helpful and personally look after the kitchen and our short stay. I was wonder to see an amazing houseboat. Very nice houseboat with courteous staff. At least one should stay for 2 days. Apart from this they have a shop selling all types of very good shawals, other Kashmir garments at a very low price as compared to other shops, buy any cloth without any worry. This is a bonus for staying here.

Excellent Stay

Kashmir, what to say. It is seriously Heaven on Earth but New Jacquline Houseboat. It is magnificent specially the owner Mr. Sami - what a person, he made us felt that we are into a homely atmosphere. Such warm people, soft spoken, you just wish for something and they will just fulfill it for you, it seems that they have some magic box. Ambiance - Speechless, I have not stayed in such a beautiful place in my life. Hospitality - Well, I have stayed in best of the New Jacquline Heritage Houseboatss including Taj and Leela but the way NJB treat there guest nobody does that. I felt so secure as if I am sitting in my home with my family. Big Thanks to Sami for making this trip splendorous. God bless you. Insha Allah, I will pay my next visit in may 2015.

Awesome experience and a memorable stay

My whole Srinagar Trip was excellent and memorable because of the people there and the New Jacquline Heritage Houseboatss. We stayed in New Jacquline Heritage Houseboats New Jacquline Heritage Houseboats for 2 nights in month of November 2015. It was a fantastic experience, loved everything about it. The place was serene. Above all these my affection grew with "New Jacqueline" just because of the homely atmosphere provided by Mr. Sami Bhai and Excellent service provided by Mr. Wasim. The rooms are excellent and Kashmiri feel. The deck is a huge bonus of this houseboat as it provides a delightful place to just sit and soak in the peace and calmness of Nigeen Lake.

Good Stay

I loved the stay here. Mazoor bhai was amazing, the food cooked by him was the best memories I have of Kashmir. The house boat itself was idyllic and away from crowded Dal lake. The view was also nice. A suggestion to all the people this houseboat is a must if you wanna stay in Kashmir. In the nights it gets a bit chilly but that adds to the feel of staying in a boat, the wooden carving is brilliant and the view in the morning from the deck is lovely. The only New Jacquline Heritage Houseboats out of 7 I stayed at in Kashmir and Himachal that had proper running WiFi. Loved my stay here, thanks a lot to the management of this boat.

Memorable & pleasant stay

Muthanna Ammatanda

The staff including the owner himself ensured our comfort & personal care. Location - Nigeen lake, calm & serene. We enjoyed the stay. Do choose meals at least breakfast & dinner at Jacquline. Kashmiri Wazwan was exquisite. No New Jacquline Heritage Houseboatss or shopping in the vicinity. Shop & carry food, if you need anything specific. The vehicle & driver (Shabir) arranged by Mr Sami, the owner, needs special mention & appreciation. To book it on Makemytrip was real value for money.

Awesome experience

Prem KumarS

We were very excited about the houseboat stay in our itinerary. When we reached there by a Shikara, we were welcomed warmly,assured by the staff that this is our home and they would be at our service anytime even the owner visited us in the evening and assured in the same lines.Food was awesome.Architecture is mind blowing,staff are very courteous.Had a very refreshing experience.The stay there became the highlight of our trip.Wifi connectivity had a few troubles.

One of the best in Houseboats

Subhadeep Sen

It's a good Houseboat located in very serene portion of nigeen lake. The Houseboat amenities were top notch in it's class and better than it's peers. The management is well trained in handling sophisticated guests. Food quality was good. They serves welcome drink (kahwa) which is courteous. But they do not provide complementary airport pick up/drop which is not in alignment of it's class. Overall one of our best stays in Kashmir.

Good Stay

Vijaya Kumar Kona

The hospitality of the owners is exemplary. They received us when arrived at the houseboat, offered special welcome tea, introduced the workers on the house boat. Again inquired before dinner whether we are comfortable. Next day they have given their reference to our New Jacquline Heritage Houseboats at Sonmarg so get a good room. The houseboat is well decorated and classical. Enjoyed every minute of our stay there.

Excellent Stay

Siddesh kudva

We stayed here for a night only but we felt to extend our stay for another night, unfortunately we could not because of our plan. The hospitality was awesome and they were taking care of us like a family. The arrangements were excellent and most importantly, the washroom here was very clean and well maintained. The view from the houseboat was eye catching. Thanks for the referral and this houseboat is worth to stay.

Amazing

Unmesh Sonavane

1. Fantastic Location 2. Great Hospitality by Mr. Sami (Owner) and Mr. Altaf (Caretaker) 3. Very good food quality 4. Very good policy for onboard vendors It has been overall good experience. Beauty of Nigeen lake is marvelous and unlike Dal Lake, where most of the houseboats are facing New Jacquline Heritage Houseboatss, here in Nigeen lake, you have uninterrupted sight of beautiful lake and huge mountains

Calm stay & well-maintained houseboat

Vaibhav Srivastava

It's been a good experience at this houseboat located in a quiet and calm place. Houseboat has been well-maintained with 24 hrs hot water and room heater (common across all places). Food has been average. If your prefer a quiet stay and do nothing then it is a good location but if you are looking for a happening place and want to explore Srinagar then go for a houseboat in Dal lake area called Golden lake.

Good Stay

Mrinal Pawar

Food was very good, we could get parantha on demand as breakfast that is really delight to us. Caretaker Mr Manjoor is very polite. We had comfortable stay at houseboat. Littlebit problem of smell due to lake, but over all experience is good.

homely atmosphere, co-operative staff, location excellent

Syed Haris

They made us feel at home. Everything about their service was great. I would recommend this for any group who is travelling. The place is extremely quiet hence you can enjoy a peaceful yet scenic view of the mountain from the house boat. The hospitality is awesome and that makes the whole experience special.

Good Stay

Dr Ravinder Kaur

It was great hospitality and ambience with personal interest being taken for needs and food likings. Beautiful view and surroundings. Special thanks to Manzoor, the caretaker, took personal care. Commendable. The owners also took special care of us. To ease us about the conditions, we were worried because of rain etc.

Serene bliss and attentive staff

Oh! wow, house boat was awesome. Staff is very friendly, food was good like home. I want to stay one more night but cannot because my trip was ending. I suggest to every one go and enjoy house boat rooms it is awesome. My wife and my infant kids enjoyed too much.

Hot water comes late else all is fine

Parking Murarka

Had an awesome 3 day stay. Wasim is good. Breakfast and dinner is tasty. Taxi booking through them is costly. Houseboat is not around market area but after shikara ride i felt it is the best location for houseboat. We were never misguided here as this is common in Kashmir.

Good Stay

Shiva Prasad

It was a nice stay in this houseboat. the only problem was that cook was away so one has to go to a different place to have dinner. Similarly only a basic breakfast could be provided.

Pleasant stay at new jacquline heritage

Zersis Irani

The houseboat was clean and the staff very friendly, stayed there for 3 nights and wished we could've stayed longer. Nice place to stay and a homely atmosphere, highly recommended. Areas of improvement: could have in-room heating facility and the food could have been better, though it was not bad but was not mouth licking delicious.

Excellent , well maintained

Udayan Sathe

The Hotel staff who was incharge of the houseboat was very co-operative and took special care to make us feel at home. The house boat is well decorated and away from the crowd, hence you can enjoy the beauty and peaceful stay.

Excellent location and clean room

Vedvyas Shenoy

The location of the houseboat is excellent. The room service is also very responsive. The room was neat and clean. The only problem in our short stay of a day was the flush in the bathroom needs to be repaired.

Excellent Stay

Vijay Mohan Kaul

The reception on reaching the houseboat was very warm and welcome Kashmiri Kahwa was very tasty. Location is good and the view of Nagin lake and mountains is excellent. Manzoor the caretaker was very cooperative and friendly. Food served was a mix of Kashmiri and North Indian food. Excellent

Excellent place to stay

Sumit Sahita

Amazing place with superb people in their staff make it a perfect place to stay. Highly recommended.

View from the boat and courteous staff!

Ankit

It is one of the most beautiful boats in Nigeen Lake! Having visited Kashmir 6-7 times, I can vouch for the fact that the location of this boat is 'The best'. Staff is polite and friendly! The view from the boat is simply heavenly. Go ahead and book this boat. Thank me later :)

awsome experience a must for everyone who wishes to stay in a house boat on nagein lake in shrinagar

Nachiket Kodkani

Peace, feel at home, extremely friendly staff, very helpful,will try and fulfill all your wishes, owner Sameer extremely polite, well read and highly customer centric, akbar chacha and mazoor service is star highlight.

Very good location with fantastic view

Nikhil Desai

It was admiring that to accommodate all 3 rooms in one houseboat they upgraded our room category. Room and houseboat interiors were outstanding. Very good location and good view of Nigeen lake. Food was excellent, service was good. Staff and owners ensured that we felt at home. Our experience was better than expected.

Well located and peaceful

Deepak Malhotra

Owner and staff of houseboat was very cordial and made us feel like home. Wonderful experience while staying for 3 nights.

Good Stay

Tutul Dasgupta

Everything about the houseboat was excellent except that the tariff was relatively on the higher side considering that the booking was during the off season.
