    Reviews Summary

    Powered by Myra.AI

    This property offers a fantastic location by Dal Lake, with beautiful views and well-decorated rooms that are mostly clean and comfortable. Guests rave about the welcoming and helpful staff, particularly Mr. Firdous and the management team. However, the food quality and pricing have faced consistent criticism, and some users have reported issues with cleanliness and service at times. The rooftop access for stunning sunsets adds to the experience, though it could be more budget-friendly.

    well maintained house boat in good location and good hospitality

    soham c.family with 1 kid

    very good location well decorated good hospitality good view accessible rooftop. views from the roof top, including sunset, were mesmerizing. our care provider Mr. Firdous is a nice guy, charming and always lends a helping hand with a smile. there is no crunchy sound of wooden blocks in the bed room. hardy enough. food quality requires improvement, and food price is also high in my opinion. the condition and maintenance of the house boat is good. heating available. bedding is comfortable.

    Terrible stay ever

    shivam s.family

    House boat stay was terrible, owner or the manager may be his name was subhan was very rude he was forcing us to book entire kashmir package from him before few days of traveling and we said no so he made our stay very terrible, he charged us double for the room heater and was miss-behaving with me over call and while we arrived we have stayed at same house 2 years back and it was really good so we booked again but this time it was waste of money time

    Srinagar trip

    eshank b.loyalty-iconfamily

    Overall experience was good, hotel staff was very well mannered Shabban G and Sajjad Bhai specially these 2 people make our trip memorable. However Houseboats amenities are not good. No in room dining available, heating charges are extra which should not be the case. Per person dinner and breakfast charges are very high. No menu available. Rest it is paradise on earth.

    Good location

    parvez a.

    You have to spent extra bucks in the name of heating/cooling charges.
    They cheated by charging more per night, extra for heating charges. Heater and aAC supposed to be complimentary in any hotel. But they charged us extra for 2 nights in the name of heating charges. I was accompanying with my two small kids and temp was minus 6 degree. In such situation you have to pay any amount they ask.
