    This was our 1st experience in a house boat. And it was amazing. Rooms were clean, which we were skeptical about. Staffs were coordial. Food was also homely. Everything was great. Must be on everyone's bucket list while visiting kashmir. Its an amazing experience.

    Disappointing houseboat stay

    sourov g.couple

    Rooms were ok but food and heating was terrible. The place did not have proper heating. It was so cold that we were not able to sleep properly. Constant power failures and low voltages rendered the bed heaters useless. The ac did not make any difference even when it was running. The food was low quality and barely eatable. Not worth the price we paid.

    Location ok, food quality is not good, frequently light problem, fan not working, shikara people created problems while coming and going both ways. Shikara came very late and they want extra shikara ride for customers and tips also

    Good houseboat

    angad s.loyalty-iconfamily

    Houseboat was good. Room was very clean and cozy. However there is nothing to eat. Only maggie. Also since its a house boat you are dependent on shikara to go to road. There is no other way.

    chandra m.loyalty-iconfamily

    Location is good and food was homely. Considering this is a houseboat, hygiene is a problem but manageable. However, in general the houseboats and shikara staffs are not tourist friendly. They are quite rude. We had our flight early morning and it was raining. They provided us with an open shikara and said we need to manage with that. Upon much insistence they provided 2 umbrellas for 6 ppl. They didn't even help with the luggage. It is not worth spending so much money for stinky rooms and washrooms and such poor service.
