Lily Houseboat

It gives a typical Kashmiri feel. Yusuf bhai, the manager / caretaker is a very good host. Location is strategic. Overall very good experience. It is better to stay at Nigeen lake, because Dal Lake is very crowded. We had great experience in Shikara ride from Nigeen.

It was very conformable and the team were extremely helpful. The dinner was also lovely, I would highly recommend staying on board for food.

That I couldn't stay longer, it books up quickly

Very good hospitality.

Location is convenient. Food quality reasonably good.

Overall comfort was not to our expectations. Rooms not very cozy.

Beautiful boat with lovely peaceful atmosphere, host Yousef was very nice and gave lots of local advice and tips. The breakfast was great and the hosts clearly know what works well and doesn’t - recommend this houseboat over the Dal Lake boats as much quieter and the hosts are so sincere and aren’t overwhelming

We loved this houseboat. First of all, there were only two rooms on the boat, and for most of our stay we were the only people there. The room was spacious, cozy and the bed was comfortable. The main sitting area was also very nice. The wifi was pretty good, a little bit glitchy on video calls, but for the most part pretty reliable. Our host was extremely helpful, and the view from the porch was great, too. Unlike Dal Lake, which is super crowded, busy and chaotic, Nigeen Lake was serene and not too many vendors came to bother us.

One thing that was a little frustrating was that there wasn't a kettle on the boat. We had to rely on our host to bring us hot water.
