Kolu Group Of Houseboats

Staff is very good i must say, but other than this everything is over priced. No tv available in room. Noise from other rooms were there. I had my breakfast there which was ok but not up to that mark. Shikara facility is there. Overall its average

Was staying at the boathouse Kolu for a week in end March, overall service was very good, must say Thank you to our room steward, who were always there to help us regardless whatever our request is, from sending laundry for washing to send postcards at the post office. I will definitely be back for me in the near future, as Kashmir is such a beautiful place, Thank you!

The houseboat stay is the highlight of my Kashmir visit. I stayed for one week and the experience is above expectation with great service provided by the crew. Breakfast was sumptuous and many details were attended with personal touch. I’m missing my stay now and will sure be back for more. Thank you Kolu Houseboat, I will be back.

One of the best places we stayed in.The staff was very polite and courteous.The houseboats give you an instant warm and fuzzy feel as soon as you step in.They welcome you with the traditional Kashmiri Kahwa and some delectable cookies. The room was very elegant and well equipped.I loved the outer sitting area where one can enjoy some lone time whilst looking out on the Dal lake or have fun if you are with family. The food they served was ok- nothing over the top. I would love to stay here once again.

A pleasant stay with Kolu Group of Houseboats, well furnished room, excellent room service, proper entertainment & a warm welcome for everyone. A beautiful place for an awsome stay in Dal Lake, Nearby activities are more like motor boat riding, surfing & localite dress photoshoot., Etc

We stayed in kolu houseboat for a night stay.. stay was wonderful.. ambience was excellent.. Hameed sir Hilal sir were too good.. they recieved us like a family.. they provided what all we asked for.. will definitely suggest this houseboat for all our friends and family

This houseboat is very beautiful from inside. The night view is amazing. You will get all the services. Heating was perfect, breakfast and dinner was amazing. The caretaker are very helpful and friendly and always available. The best part is the room and the way it is maintained IT’S PERFECT😍. The bathroom are well maintained.You will be happy and satisfied when you will be leaving the property.

After traveling across 4 places in Kashmir valley, we decided to end our Kashmir journey with a stay at the houseboat. We were very apprehensive about the kind of room house boats have and our previous experience in early 2010, but nonetheless we decided to stay @kolu houseboat. The suite was amazing, I think one of the best across all the houseboats that we saw. The toiletries were superb. The assortment of tea and coffee mixes provided in the room were even better then any 5 star hotel in Srinagar. The food not to miss was personalized and really yummy, our best food experience in Kashmir valley. Keep it up Kolu group of houseboats. We shall be back soon 😊

Kolu group of houseboats have different categories of rooms in different houseboats. There highest category houseboat Gulrose has bathing tubs or jacuzzi in bathrooms. Though I explored it, I decided to stay in deluxe houseboat named as Jilwi along my family, relatives and friends, which also gives you a feel of luxury on Dal lake. Both of these houseboats are ultra neat and clean. I was told that these were renovated recently. The houseboats equipped with modern fittings have a wooden platform in front side where you can relish your tea, drinks or meals enjoying the beautiful ake and green hills. The owner Mr Hilal Kolu, a thorough gentleman is professional who does not mind making extra efforts to make his guests feel comfortable. As people witnessed scorching heat this summer in Srinagar, the work on installation of air conditioners was started in houseboats when we left on August 7.

We stayed at Kolu Houseboats for 2 nights. Would definitely recommend atleast a night's stay there. Pros: 1. Owner and staff were very helpful. They exceeded our expectations with their efforts to provide us a good experience and helped us with a few things beyond the stay at houseboat too. 2. Good ambiance and spacious rooms & bathrooms 3. Good food and plenty of options. 4. Quick service Cons: 1. No air conditioner unlike advertised on TripAdvisor and booking.com. So keep that in mind during warm weather conditions.
