Houseboat Blue Dolphin

describes it as “a magical stay”, praising the great food, lovely rooms, waterfront shopping highlights, and magnificent views. Host owner mr.faheem was very helpful in guiding us for everything, location is just amazing. Highly recommend

Staying on this houseboat was nothing short of magical. From the moment I stepped on board, I was welcomed with warmth and genuine hospitality that instantly made me feel at home. The interiors were beautifully maintained—clean, cozy, and thoughtfully decorated—blending comfort with a touch of traditional charm. What truly stood out was the serene atmosphere. Waking up to the gentle rippling of water and watching the sun cast golden hues over the lake, made the experience unforgettable. The views from the deck were mesmerizing, offering a perfect escape from the rush of everyday life. The food served was fresh, flavorful, and prepared with love, adding an authentic local touch to the stay. Every detail, from the service to the little gestures of care, reflected the dedication of the host. This wasn’t just a stay—it was an experience of peace, beauty, and connection with nature. I left with cherished memories and a longing to return. Highly recommended for anyone seeking tranquility, comfort, and a truly unique stay.

We had a wonderful stay! The room was spotless, cozy, and well-maintained, with all the amenities I needed. The staff were extremely courteous and always especially owner mr.faheem ready to help, making me feel truly welcome. The location was perfect—peaceful yet close to everything. Overall, it was an excellent experience, and I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for comfort and hospitality.”

Nothing

Nothing good. Owner and servent always ask that sleep well, dinner is good, feel comfortable,he always appreciate his accomodation and follow us. We did not feel free.

Booking.com did not book this house boat.

There are many houseboats in dal Lake but the Blue dolphin is unique in a way, It is a quiet, romantic and serene place. Raining, cloudy mountains made it more beautiful. Fahim Bhai has immense knowledge about Kashmir which connects us more to heaven on Earth. Food was beyond words to be expressed, made with mother's love. The palla family went out of the way to make our trip comfortable and memorable. He made sure that we get the best deal in the Shikara ride and cab drive too. Highly recommended.

The houseboat is clean and has nice ambience. Owner is very good and hospitable. Dinner they provided was very nice. Breakfast is good but some improvement can be done. Overall the stay was very good
