    Reviews Summary

    Powered by Myra.AI

    Goona Palace offers a cozy stay right on Dal Lake, perfect for enjoying breathtaking views. Rooms are neat and well-maintained, and the staff, including Mr. Lateef Goona and caretaker Fayaz, are friendly and eager to help. Guests appreciate the complimentary shikara rides and overall service. However, food prices are often considered high, and there have been mentions of occasional power issues. It's a great spot for a unique houseboat experience, especially for a short stay.

    Delightful stay

    chris.group

    Houseboat Goona Palase is located at an ideal spot and gives perhaps the most beautiful view of the Dal lake. The owner along with the management is very warm and hospitable and offered is a good deal in spite of no having booked in advance. The rooms are spacious and cozy. The inhouse cooked us a meal which was very close to home cooked food. Overall, had a delightful stay here. Will definitely come back.

    Good experience. Not the best.

    vikash t.family

    1. Dinner rate was very high. 2. One shd book with meals included. 3. Staff behaviour was good but he did not had all resources to help us. 4. But they were honest in their efforts to service us. So overall due to owner and staff good behaviour, one can consider this.

    Location and staff was good

    arijit c.family

    I stayed there for 4 nights and enjoyed every bit of it. Rooms were nice and support staff were amazing they were always ready to help whether it was a late night pickup from the main road or early morning call for tea. During our stay in Srinagar they enquired about our plans for the day and ensured that they provide a feedback or suggestion to improve our itinerary. The room were very clean and well maintained.

    Cleanliness and behavior of the Owner is good

    kousik b.family

    We had booked 2 super deluxe rooms for one night at Goona Palace H/B and we enjoyed our first experience of night stay at a house boat. There were some problems like power cut due to bad weather condition but the Owner and the caretaker of the H/B ensured alternative power supply and managed water supply in a way that sufficed our need. Overall a good experience.

    Neat and clean houseboat

    swati.couple

    Neat and clean houseboat. Good for a night stay. Complimentary shikara ride provided. To and fro ride by shikara provided free of cost to the chat when needed. Good hospitality. Small rooms but neat and clean. No wardrobes in the standard rooms. Only one option in breakfast but plenty enough to fill your tummy. Overall, good for a night stay in budget.

    It was a nice place to stay and enjoy shikara ride. In amidst the lake it was quite nice to wake up on a floating bed. The view was nice and shikara ride made it a value for money. Overall a nice stay.

    Poor choice

    anup.family

    As its location is o Dal lake its easily reachable .. However few things to note ... They have two houseboats and they will give you a room in thr poor houseboat and not on the houseboat of which photos are loaded ... Power problem was there throughout the night ... Cleanliness was missing. Hot water was not there in the morning there is no view from the room ... There was only one fellow who was trying all. Out to serve us .. Poor choice by us ..
