Decent house boat at decent price and great staff !

Decent house boat at decent price and great staff !The great strength of Chicago boats is it's staff that genuinely cares about customers. They try their best to make the stay comfortable with all the constraints they have like power problems and extreme cold weather.

The heating in the room was a bit average. The fire heater dies down late night and the room becomes chill, electric blanket was not really heating much due to low power voltage , had to manage with the heavy blankets.Not sure if this is the case with all house boats in winter.One other aspect was the rest of the rooms in the boat were taken by a larger group and they were drinking smoking and making noise in the lobby and outside and I was with my 10 year old. Did'nt find the environment so kids friendly. In Kashmir every worker asks for tips even before you give them and was found here too !

Very poor

Nothing about this property is good.

The rooms were not clean, food was bad and they charged 500 per meal for what was like below average food. There was no hot water almost all of the times and the rooms also lacked heating. It is not worth the money.

Pleasant

Houseboat stay is definitely to be recommended, but the facilities

The view across the lake is beautiful. The access by small boat was perfect. One older staff member was kind and very helpful. Tea and biscuits served on request

The bathroom needs an upgrade. The food (dinner and breakfast) was rather 'samey' , without options. One younger staff member was a little less helpful (could do with more supervision by the owner!). Internet a bit patchy!

Unique and intense

On our recent trip to Kashmir, we were heartily welcomed by the owner, Mr. Ajaz, who consistently went above and beyond in helping us plan our outings. His reliable presence was a reassuring aspect of our journey. Every night, a homemade meal awaited us, which we enjoyed amidst the peaceful backdrop of the Dal Lake. The attentive boat staff were always at hand, ensuring our needs were met promptly and with a smile. An extra touch that stood out was the daily welcome of Kashmiri tea and cookies, adding a cozy and delightful note to our stay. Overall, a wonderful and highly recommended place for a relaxing getaway.

The main issue we found with our stay in Srinagar and in Kashmir in general is that you are continuously harassed by people that want to either sell you something or are directly begging for money. Also every time you interact with someone they will ask for tips and even get angry if you don't give them an amount that they are happy with. I think this is even more evident if you are from a western country. Most of the people won't see you as a person but as a potential source of money. This unfortunately had a negative impact on our experience of Dal lake.
