This is a hard review to write. We loved the honeymoon/lake view room on the top (they only have a couple of these) with a personal balcony. And the service was just amazing - the mutton Rogan Josh was the best I tasted throughout Kashmir. The only sticking point was while leaving one of the staff member loudly commenting on the tip we gave (we were traveling from out of country and weren’t calibrated in the tip amount). We didn’t stay there for free so the comment was a bit unwarranted and spoilt the entire mood. Worse was the fact the manager was right there asking for a review and he didn’t say a word about the comment. Other than that we had a lovely stay. Also these are located in Nigeen lake and not on Dal lake.

The whole experience was awesome. We had a small kid with us and they made sure even he feels comfortable. The food,the hospitality everything was so homely that you did not feel you are away from home. We stayed on houseboat 2 and the managers there were really warm to talk to . I would recommend all to try the experience once you r in Kashmir.

We were welcomed by the manager and his team as soon as we disembarked from the shikara. The very look of the living room was majestic. The room was cosy and comfortable. The dining experience was amazing. The food was delicious and as per our demand. The view of Nageen lake was mesmerizing especially after it rained in the evening. The hospitality was amazing. Mr Tanvee, Riyaz and Ashraf took good care of us. Overall a satisfying experience.
