We absolutely loved our stay on Houseboat Wild Rose. The view from the houseboat was just stunning with the mountains, the lake, the water lillies and the myriad birds circling the sky and on the lake. Because it is located further away from the hubbub of the lake, it was serene and soothing. We loved the peace and quiet of the lake, broken only by bird calls and the croaking of the frogs. Breakfast is simple and tasty - eggs and delicious Kashmiri bread. We had dinners on the boat and the food was fresh and tasty. On our last evening, we requested Wazwan dishes which were arranged for us. The rooms are adequate and what you would expect in a houseboat. It was cosy and we enjoyed sleeping with the windows open. We loved relaxing on the deck with our books and coffee and noon chai ( delicious!). Amir who served us was attentive and prompt with everything we requested. Faizan was courteous and prompt with bookings, queries and suggestions. Both of them along with the cook who made our meals, the shikara boatman, and the owner Ibrahim ensured we had a pleasant stay. Kashmir is a beautiful place with beautiful people. We loved our first trip to the state and we hope to visit again. Highly recommend this place!

Some minor suggestions - to have washable covers for the deck furniture and cushions. They do look worn out so having removable, washable covers will keep it looking clean and tidy. The commode could be cleaned better. The wifi is patchy and power outages are frequent (at least during our stay) so come prepared for this and you will not be able to use appliances like a hair dryer. But these are minor things which did not detract from the overall lovely experience we had here.

Houseboat Wild Rose lived up to the high praise reviews that previous guests posted. It's hard to imagine a better location for a houseboat let alone a hotel in Srinagar. Houseboat Wild Rose is located outside the noise and clutter of the main canal area and the short daily journey we took by the shikara (taxi boat) to the mainland was what other tourists paid for as a special excursion, one that we never tired of. As well as being on the edge of, but away from the main hub, an unexpected bonus was the prolific birdlife right on our doorstep, particularly first thing in the morning and late afternoon. The team at Wild Rose could not have been more helpful and accommodating while the food was tasty, varied and generous in size. A big thanks to Amil, Faizan and Ibrahim for making our visit so memorable. We look forward to staying with you the next time we visit Srinagar.

We fully enjoyed our stay at Wild Rose Houseboat and would love to come back whenever time allows. We have been warmly welcomed and supported during our stay. The food was delicious, the rooms charming and comfortable. We couldn't have enjoyed our stay more! Many many thanks to Ibrahim, Faizan and everyone else from the Wild Rose!

Its in the back side of Dal Lake. If u want to enjoy its true Beauty, go there in the Lily season. Its serene and tranquil. Faizan and his father are very friendly and gentle people. Food is very good. There is a very old Chacha. U need hot Kahwa, Chai, anything he will give u his sweetest smile and serve u. We went in last week of March, there were many migratory birds -we used to wake up hearing their chatter. Its surrounded by water plants and other houseboats but other boats are slightly and comfortably away. Boating in dal lake from here is interesting , the boat man takes u through local water gullies. Through garlic and mustard plots in full blooms. Just beautiful ❤️

Nothing. I love nature and thi place is surrounded by unspoilt nature.

I had a wonderful stay at Houseboat Wild Rose. It truly felt like home – the hosts were so kind and welcoming, and the atmosphere was very peaceful. The homemade food was delicious and gave me a real taste of Kashmir. Everything was clean, comfortable, and well taken care of. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for an authentic and homely experience in Srinagar.

I initially booked Houseboat Wild Rose for just one night, but the exceptional experience made me extend my stay to 12 days. The hospitality of Ibrahim and Faizan was beyond expectations — they made us feel completely at home. They also organized a 5-night, 6-day trekking adventure in the Himalayas, which turned out to be one of the most memorable experiences of my life. Everything was perfectly arranged, from the routes to the campsites, and the food throughout was simply delicious. The houseboat itself is charming, with a blend of traditional Kashmiri style and modern comfort. Waking up to serene lake views every morning was magical. The warmth, care, and personal attention from Ibrahim and Faizan truly made this stay unforgettable. Thank you both for such a wonderful experience. I will definitely return soon with my friends, and I highly recommend Houseboat Wild Rose to anyone visiting Kashmir. A perfect choice for comfort, culture, and adventure! 100% recommend. 🌟

The type of accomodation, being on a boat and the location somewhere in the Dal lake far from city noise. The boat ride to place it takes you thru the nice Dal lake landscape that is so peaceful. Faizan and the rest of the stuff were sociable and very helpful and knowledgeable. I fully recommend then for finding more about the aria and what can be done around.
