I had a wonderful stay at this houseboat in the first week of March. The location on Dal lake was beautiful and serene. The hospitality was amazing, and the owner, Mr. Ajaz, was very kind and helpful. The food served on the boat was delicious, and the rooms were spacious, clean, and warm. The view from the houseboat was truly mesmerizing, with the frozen lake and snow-covered mountains. The staff's behavior and cooperation were outstanding, and transportation was easily arranged. I would definitely recommend this place for a peaceful and enjoyable stay.
100% Recommend this hotel.

During my stay at the houseboat, I was pleasantly surprised by the warm hospitality and friendly staff. Mr. Ajaz, the owner, went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and even provided helpful advice for our plans. The houseboat had a cozy ambiance and the food served was delicious. The bathroom facilities exceeded my expectations and were well-maintained. it was a perfect pampered stay in Srinagar.
There were a few minor drawbacks that affected the overall experience. The lack of heating in the room upon arrival was a bit disappointing, and the absence of a heater in the dining area made it uncomfortable to eat there.

The houseboat is located in a quieter area and offers beautiful views of the surrounding lake and snow-capped mountains. The rooms are spacious and cozy, with comfortable beds and traditional decor. The staff is warm and welcoming, providing excellent service and assisting with sightseeing arrangements. Guests can enjoy delicious vegetarian meals for breakfast and dinner, with options like eggs, toast, and local dishes. Additionally, the houseboat offers amenities such as wood-fired heaters, hot water facilities, and the option to purchase mineral water and beer.
Some additional facilities and services, such as shikara trips, local transport, and airport pick-up and drop-off, are not clearly listed as chargeable, which can lead to confusion and inconvenience for guests.

The houseboat provided a serene and tranquil atmosphere with beautiful sunset views. The rooms were clean and the housekeepers were super nice and accommodating. The food served was delicious and the owner, Ajaz, offered private and customized tours in Kashmir and India, making the trip very enjoyable.
Lack of good English speaking skills from the driver provided for the private tour.

Our visit to the houseboat on Dal Lake was a unique and delightful experience. Despite the sub-zero temperatures, the traditional heating system kept us warm. The hot water facilities were also excellent. The small rooms were neat and decent, and the vegetarian food exceeded our expectations. The staff members were incredibly friendly and helpful, especially Tahir saab. The shikara ride and the stunning views of Gulmarg and the Himalayan hills were unforgettable.
Can't recommend this hotel highly enough.

The food offered at this hotel was absolutely delicious. They had a wide variety of options and the chef was always available to cater to our needs. The location of the hotel was also very convenient, being close to the main road. Another advantage that I enjoyed was the good wifi connection, which was essential for my office work.
There are a few areas that need improvement. it would have been better if the hotel listed additional facilities such as shikara trips, local transport, and airport pick-up and drop as chargeable services, so that guests can plan their trip accordingly.
