Houseboat Sweet Star

Really pathetic experience of staying in a house boat offered by sweat star owner. They really don't know how to do the hospitality. we were offered a different boat when we reached there for checking in sweat star. Just at the time of check-in, we were told that this is part of the five houseboats of sweat star. With lots of argument as we have no choice, we decided to take the houseboat which was offered in place of sweat star. moreover, the owner lied to us that sweat star is under maintenance and he showed me that it is under maintenance but in the Evening when we again checked in guest were staying in sweat star. As the stay was inclusive of breakfast we were offered only bread butter omlette and khawa . But it was not worth as a complete breakfast and was not value for money. Finally I would like to conclude that it is not recommendable house boat . pls look for other house boat options.

It was a lovely experience staying on Houseboat Sweet Star, which provides the unique experience of living on the water in a cedar-paneled elegant bedroom, with all the conveniences of a luxury hotel. Houseboat Sweet Star has fine furniture, good carpets and modern bathroom fittings. It also provides a balcony in the front, a lounge, dining room, pantry and three bedrooms with attached bathrooms. Houseboat Sweet Star moored to the bank of the river you need not depend on shikara to go to the bank all the time.

Very pleasant location & the best houseboat in Jhelum River. Very courteous staff & the owner Mr. Zafar. They arranged all the best food preparation as per our choice & beautiful candle light dinner was arranged for us overlooking the Jhelum River. Location is very convenient near the Jhelum Park & a km drive to the city centre Lal Chowk. If ever i plan to stay towards Jhelum side Houseboat Sweet Star will be my first choice to stay. Thank Mr. Zafar for everything due to which it was memorable trip to Kashmir.

I had a nice stay in this house boat. I was under the impression that I booked the houseboat in Dal Lake, but it was far away from Dal Lake and very near to Lal Chowk in Jhelum river. Anyway, this is also good location but yes it's not in Dal Lake. Hotelier Mr.Arif and his family were cooperative. Mr.Arif helped us to locate few shops to purchase local Kashmiri products. We had nice dinner in the houseboat.
