Houseboat Wild Rose

I stayed for two nights. The houseboat is amazing and is located very quite appr. 15min from the riverfront in a field of Lotusplants. Faizan and his Family and staff were super friendly and did everything to feel you like home and comfortable. The food was very delicious and they help you whereever they can to arrange daytrips and so on. Thank you very much for the nice stay

I had booked Wildrose house boat for a day but ended up extending my stay for a week. This is an ideal place where you can reset your mind , body and feel rejuvenated. Early morning view . Slice of nature peeping at you from the window is what I will miss the most. The family is so welcoming and especially Faizan who even chalked out a weeks itenary with the best places in and around that could be seen. The visit to local places and the mountains was a surreal experience. The food was excellent and I can vouch for it. They even customize it to suit your taste buds.The local tea is something I fell in love with. All in all it was a very memorable stay..I wish I could stay more. I can only request one and all to not go by what is put out there in the media. Kashmir is a beautiful place with even more beautiful people at its core. It is absolutely safe heaven. I will ever be so grateful to the family for making my stay in the boat house a never to forget experience. I will be back soon and that I am sure of. 🙏

Such a wonderful place, The family is very kind and helpful. The houseboat is very beautiful and the location is Great. The food was delicious... We booked for one night and we stayed three nights .. We like this place so much, specifically the family is absolutely amazing.. We highly recommend this place to everyone. We will definitely come back again next time.

I travelled with my wife and two daughters. We had taken a ride in Dal Lake in our previous visits to Srinagar. This time we decided to stay in the Lake. The location of houseboat is very important depending on your taste. If you like a tranquil and serene place away from the main road or far from the crowds, this houseboat meets that requirement. Needless to add, the houseboat is made of wood. So, you will find wooden floor, walls, beds, and anything you see. Walking on the floor will produce that wooden feeling. The size of the rooms is adequate given the size of the houseboat. It has a living room, dining, bedroom and second bedroom with attached washroom in both the bedrooms. The room has large size bed for two persons. Accommodating a third in a room will be a little tough. You are in the company of nature with birds playing in water and perched on the wooden logs looking above the surface of water, extremely peaceful. The place is safe. The caretaker was very courteous. The meals were simply awesome and sumptuous. We loved the food and the way it was served. The dining place had a unique presentation of cutlery and dining seating. You have to tell them in advance what you would prefer in breakfast or lunch and dinner. We ordered Indian food, so I have no idea of food ordered by foreign tourists. The owners were very helpful in sharing information and arranging travel within and outside the Lake. Be mindful of taking essentials like your regular medicines with you as you will have to come to shops outside the lake if you need to buy something, just in case. No swimming if you feel like doing it. Keep your belongings away from water like the mobile or glasses or handbags. My spectacles fell in water. We moved on to Pahalgam in our trip. To my disbelief, Mr. Faizan retrieved and handed over to me on my way to the airport. Special thanks to Mr. Faizan and his younger brother! Our stay in the houseboat is memorable!

Only trivial things: the washroom can have more fittings. Ask the owner to replace the towels with freshly washed ones when you arrive. But these trivial things do not affect your overall experience.

What a wonderful stay. My wife and I spent 4 nights on this peaceful and comfortable houseboat and had the best time. The thing you will notice quite quickly is how hospitable everyone is on the houseboat. Ibrahim and his family have created a lovely space to feel relaxed and comfortable, whilst always there to give you advice on your time in Kashmir. Faizan, Sultan and Amin were great during our time, each one happy to help and so friendly! We spent Eid with the family and it was such a special part of our trip. They helped us rearrange our trip with recommendations for other places in Kashmir to see, and we did not regret it!!! When we are next in Kashmir, there is no doubt as to where we will stay! If you want the experience of a houseboat, with wonderful owners and staff, away from the hustle and bustle of the ghaat, then this is the place for you! Thank you so much for making our first time in Kashmir so special :)

We had a great time at the house boat. We booked the place for only 2 nights with no plans at all. Ibrahim and Faizan sorted everything for us. We did a guided one day trek at Naranag. They helped us with the appropriate equipment and food for this. On the second day, they also organized a short tour of the mosques in Srinagar and a boat ride on Dal lake, just before our flight out. We also had dinner with the family after the trek, which was a nice experience.

We had a wonderful experience staying in wildrose houseboat. Stay was pleasant and peaceful.Kashmiri food was too delicious and saffron tea was amazing!! Mr Faizan and sultan uncle were very good in hospitality. They made us feel like home. Highly recommend this place !!

The staff were amazing. So kind and helpful. Ibrahim, the owner was super hospitable. Sultan was the man who did it all and kept the living room warm. And Owais the driver was so kind and helpful. No request was too hard. We did a great tour of Pahalgam.

It was very cold. Would have liked an electric heater in the room.
