This is our first time in Kashmir and we stayed at old palace houseboat for one and we had a great time and the houseboat is fully airconditioned and these houseboat have the best roof top that you can enjoy the best views and spend the most of the time on the roop top. These houseboat are very very neat and clean. The food is like home made. Beautiful location and the staff is very very helpful and they make sure that you had the best time on these houseboats

Extremely worse. Their behaviour is so rude as if they are doing a favour for us allowing to stay in their houseboat. Had a good desire of staying in Dal Lake houseboat because of which stayed in this houseboat but after my trip I have decided of not going there again. Extremely worse experience. Request people to go for other houseboats in first lane but not this for sure.
