    I recently had the pleasure of staying on a houseboat in Srinagar, and it was an unforgettable experience. Here’s a detailed review of my stay: **Location: ★★★★★ (5/5)** The houseboat is moored on the serene Dal Lake, providing breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains and the tranquil waters. The location is perfect for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of city life and immerse themselves in nature's beauty. Waking up to the sunrise over the lake is truly magical. **Ambiance and Decor: ★★★★☆ (4/5)** The houseboat itself is beautifully crafted with traditional Kashmiri woodwork and intricate carvings, exuding a rich cultural heritage. The decor inside the boat is elegant, with comfortable furniture and cozy nooks to relax and enjoy the view. The only downside was that some areas showed signs of aging and could use a bit of maintenance. **Service: ★★★★☆ (4/5)** The service was warm and hospitable, with the staff going out of their way to make our stay comfortable. They were attentive and responsive to our needs, whether it was arranging a shikara ride, providing local travel tips, or serving delicious meals. However, there were occasional delays in service, likely due to the unique setting. **Amenities: ★★★☆☆ (3/5)** Given the unique nature of a houseboat, the amenities are more basic compared to a traditional hotel. The rooms were clean and well-maintained, but the bathroom facilities could be improved for a more comfortable experience. **Food: ★★★★★ (5/5)** The food was one of the highlights of our stay. We enjoyed authentic Kashmiri cuisine prepared fresh daily. The flavors were rich and the portions generous. Dining on the deck with a view of the lake made each meal special. Special dietary requests were also accommodated with care. **Activities: ★★★★☆ (4/5)** The houseboat stay included opportunities for various activities such as shikara rides, which were a delightful way to explore the lake and its floating gardens. We also enjoyed visiting nearby Mughal gardens and taking a day trip to Gulmarg. However, entertainment options on the boat itself were limited. **Overall Experience: ★★★★☆ (4/5)** Staying on a houseboat in Srinagar is a unique and memorable experience that offers a peaceful retreat amidst stunning natural beauty. While there are some areas that could benefit from improvement, the overall charm, hospitality, and cultural immersion make it a worthwhile stay. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for an authentic and relaxing getaway in kashmir

    I found this houseboat through make my trip. I emphasized on specially on the location of the houseboat rather the reviews and it totally worth the searching. The houseboat is beautifully located in the middle of the lake and just 3 minute boat ride from ghat no. 9. The manager faiz bhai took great care of us and the meal was fantastic. Overall 9 on 10 ratings.

    Dear guest, Firstly we always mention the rates of every food item and is served only when the guest is ok with that , if it was that much expensive you could have simply denied for the same . You can't comment like this just because you didn't want to pay for the food you had. Secondly, our staff never ask for the tip, guests give them by their will only. We have got good ratings because of our dedicated service towards our guests. Our customer is always our first priority.

    Dear guest, first of all , houseboats don't have their own shikara for crossing secondly we charge only ₹300 for the bukhari and the guest is asked first if they want to use the room bukhari Or not we don't force them. Also electric blankets have been removed from the houseboats recently due to some vaild reason. Please be honest with your feedback.
